As a fox (not necessarily smart 😅, but certainly versatile and lacking focus and stability in my career), I can see the value of being a hedgehog.
But I just can't. There are so many things to explore and learn.

I mean, true, it's much easier to be successful at high scale if you're a hedgehog:

  1. Pick a niche, as small as possible, while still relevant
  2. Put all your time in it, be among the best in your city/country/continent/world at it
  3. Profit

But then again, how about the rest: the wonderful and curious things you'll never get to experience? Wouldn't make me feel accomplished.
