develop a skill. Get super fucking good at 1 thing. Make that skill your outlet for exposing your general knowledge. 1 of my skills is copywriting. When I write, I steal from a wide variety of books, movies, magazines I have. I save cool stuff in my swipe file and refer to it
Could be design. Or architecture. Or M+A. Anything. But you need a skill as an outlet for that general knowledge. Cool shit happens when you combine diff ideas from diff areas of the world. Helps u see what's possible.
