I discovered you and your concept of high agency through your podcast with Chris Williamson. I immediately went to read your full article and was captivated by it – I found myself wanting to dive deeper into every concept and the individuals you presented. It’s the best article I have read in a long time.

You were absolutely right: once you discover what agency is, there's no going back. This article perfectly complements the other one, and I loved it just as much. Thank you for the good work.

I write about exceptional people (people who, I realised after reading your article, are high agency) and teach their most important lessons using storyteling. I’m planning to do a special series covering the idea of high agency, inspired by your ideas. Excited!

I read this originally as a tweet a ~year ago? It's a great reminder, and I see you added some new points to the list. Looking forward to more :)
