- 📓 TELOS: Framework for Self Knowledge
In partnership with
Here's a question that stopped me in my tracks this week:
"What are you about?"
Not what you do for work. Not your job title. Not your hobbies.
What are you actually about?
I watched a two-hour podcast with Dan Miessler on NetworkChuck about a concept called - Telos: a framework for self knowledge in the age of AI.
Before we dive in, quick word from Lindy -

Dan created something called the TELOS framework—a structured way to articulate your purpose, connect your daily projects to your mission, and actually know what makes you... you.
The ideal number of employees for most companies is actually zero.
When AI can execute tasks, the only thing that makes you irreplaceable is knowing what you're about.
Telos isn’t another productivity system. It's a way to map everything you do back to why it actually matters.
Problem → Mission → Goals → Challenges → Strategies → Projects.
