     67 Kevin Kelly on a different way to do great work

     75 
     76 Kevin Kelly isn’t known for one “big thing,” and doesn’t aspire to be. He’s as
     77 intelligent, hard-working, ambitious, and prescient as history’s most iconic
     78 entrepreneurs—only without any interest in building a unicorn himself. Instead,
     79 in his words, he works “Hollywood style”—in a series of creative projects. What
     80 follows is a sampling of his life’s work.
     81 
     82 Kelly was an editor for the Whole Earth Catalog in the early 1980s, helped
     83 start WELL, one of the first online communities, in 1985, and co-founded WIRED
     84 magazine in 1993. He’s written a dozen books and published hundreds of essays
     85 on topics from art to optimism, travel, religion, creativity, and AI (even
     86 before it was a thing). Kelly rode a bicycle across the United States in his
     87 20s. He was Steven Spielberg’s ‘futurist advisor’ on Minority Report, and the
     88 inspiration behind the famous “Death Clock” on Futurama, after the show’s
     89 creator Matt Groening caught wind of the Life Countdown Clock Kelly keeps on
     90 his computer desktop. He organizes tightly curated group walks across Asia and
     91 Europe, regularly covering ~100km in a week. He sculpts, draws, paints, and
     92 photographs. And he’s a longtime friend and collaborator of Stewart Brand
     93 (whose famous line, “Stay hungry, stay foolish,” Steve Jobs quoted in his
     94 iconic commencement address at Stanford).
     95 
     96 To encourage long-term thinking, Kelly is helping build a clock into a mountain
     97 in western Texas that will tick for 10,000 years. Brian Eno and Jeff Bezos are
     98 active collaborators. He’s a born-again Christian. He’s been married to his
     99 wife, Gia-Miin, for 38 years, and they have three children together. He was
    100 pivotal to a fringe-turned-mainstream movement to identify and catalog every
    101 living species on earth (now owned and operated by Smithsonian). He was early
    102 to think and write about the quantified self, which gave rise to products like
    103 Fitbit, Strava, Apple Watch, Eight Sleep, and the Oura Ring. Kelly’s idea of
    104 “1,000 true fans” practically christened the creator economy with his 2008
    105 insight that “if 1,000 people will pay you $100 per year, you can gross
    106 $100k—more than enough to live on for most.”
    107 
    108     The people who become legendary in their interests never feel they have
    109     arrived.
    110 
    111     Kevin Kelly
    112 
    113 Naval Ravikant has called him a “modern-day Socrates,” Marc Andreessen has said
    114 that “everything Kevin Kelly writes is worth reading,” Eno called him “one of
    115 the most consistently provocative thinkers about technology and culture,” and
    116 Ray Kurzweil said that “Kevin Kelly understands the direction of technology
    117 better than almost anyone I know.”
    118 
    119 Kelly’s Hollywood style of working has always resonated with me; it’s the way I
    120 aspire to work and largely have since starting my career. Yet now, 15 years in,
    121 I’ve become self-conscious about it. Working in Silicon Valley will convince
    122 you that starting a company with its sights on unicorn status is the only
    123 possible way to make an impact, and the only work worthy of an ambitious
    124 individual. 
    125 
    126 Kelly is a cheerful and enterprising repudiation of that path, and I didn’t get
    127 very long into my interview preparations to realize that I wasn’t only writing
    128 about a personal hero; I was seeking a way to make peace with my own
    129 professional choices. After a day together, I realized that my pilgrimage to
    130 meet the man in his element might also grant permission to others in our line
    131 of work who are interested in charting a different course to impact.
    132 
    133 [009_KevinKelly041725_Colossus_photobyAndriaLo-scaled]
    134 [015_KevinKelly041725_Colossus_photobyAndriaLo-scaled]
    135 
    136 I started my career at Google selling AdWords to small businesses, and finished
    137 my first quarter as the number three seller in North America. Professional
    138 opportunities immediately unfolded—early nods for management, trips to global
    139 offices to present my “best practices,” my face on slides next to impressive
    140 metrics, and attention from more senior leaders.
    141 
    142 It’s hard to say why none of that seemed very interesting, but it didn’t. What
    143 I did like was starting a campaign to rename the conference rooms and helping
    144 my coworker launch his internal content series, G-Chat with Charleton, in which
    145 he would interview Google executives while sitting with them in a two-person
    146 snuggie. I had earned myself a ticket to the fast career track at one of the
    147 coolest companies in Silicon Valley, but climbing the corporate ladder just
    148 wasn’t for me.
    149 
    150 So I spent the next 10 years chasing what seemed most fun. After 14 months at
    151 Google, my work bestie, Jenny, and I left Google together to give the startup
    152 thing a try. We went to a mobile gaming company where I learned to make my way
    153 around spreadsheets, play Magic: The Gathering, and cash in on a blockbuster
    154 ‘pet hotel’ game. Eighteen months later, it was a six-person startup that was
    155 known as “the black sheep of Y Combinator.” In my free time, I coached a JV
    156 high school soccer team, volunteered at Dandelion Chocolate (all that working
    157 on software made me want to make something with my hands), and finished writing
    158 a novel.
    159 
    160 My resume of under-two-year gigs spooked recruiters, except for one at Stripe.
    161 “We’re impressed by how much ground you’ve covered,” was the backhanded
    162 compliment I got. I started on the Account Management team in early 2015.
    163 
    164 I spent nearly five years at Stripe, but the lily-padding continued—only this
    165 time it was all under one roof. A year into my tenure, I was given the choice
    166 between management or a nebulous role focusing on projects that would impact
    167 company culture. Like evolving our tradition of work anniversary celebrations,
    168 standing up company planning, establishing Stripe as a carbon-neutral company,
    169 getting non-developers to participate in our annual hackathon, defining our
    170 version of the “bar raiser” interview, and printing and distributing a book
    171 (which eventually became Stripe Press). With very little pressing, I learned
    172 this nebulous role had emerged from the growing pile of projects that the
    173 former McKinsey consultants on the Business Operations team were avoiding.
    174 
    175 Guess which role my friends and parents thought I should choose? Guess which
    176 one I chose.
    177 
    178     Kelly would say it’s good to have an “illegible” career path—it means
    179     you’re onto interesting stuff.
    180 
    181 I started to take pride in this “cool girl” approach to work. I joked about
    182 having never been promoted, but could feel my scope, impact, and relationships
    183 with colleagues growing. I remember rejecting a (well-meaning) manager’s
    184 suggestion to build out a five-year career plan. I scoffed at people who cared
    185 about titles, did things for money, and had professional headshots on their
    186 LinkedIn. I mocked MBAs, bragged about “staying off the org chart,” and being
    187 good at “giving away my LEGOs.” I became the person you asked to have a coffee
    188 with when you wanted to quit your job and do something weird. Once I mentioned
    189 “enjoying working in the wings,” and a (well-meaning) executive suggested I
    190 “keep that to myself if I wanted to be seen as a leader.” I ignored the advice.
    191 
    192 And then, I’m not sure when the switch flipped, but I started to have a sinking
    193 feeling that I had it all wrong the whole time. I looked around and felt I was
    194 being outpaced by my colleagues—specifically by the MBAs and the people who
    195 chased titles, promotions, money, and building teams. And it wasn’t just a
    196 vanity thing. They genuinely seemed to be focused on bigger, more interesting
    197 problems. And they were having more impact. They were mentoring young talent,
    198 influencing top lines and bottom lines, and had their fingerprints on all kinds
    199 of cool industry-recognized work. They seemed to always have invitations to
    200 exclusive gatherings and job offers in their inbox. Several started companies,
    201 and rumor had it that some had term sheets before investors even opened their
    202 decks. I didn’t only feel jealous of their work; I felt unqualified to do it.
    203 That stung.
    204 
    205 I started to reflect on my own trajectory with fear that it didn’t mirror my
    206 ambition, work ethic, or deep care about the role of work in a life. Had I
    207 pointed my ambition in the wrong direction? What did I have to show for all my
    208 effort? Had I made some irreversible, unforced error with my career? How much
    209 money had I left on the table? Would the people I respected respect me back for
    210 much longer? Despite working my butt off for a decade, I had no expertise and
    211 no line of sight into where I was going. I felt immature for placing such a
    212 high value on “fun” and “bouncing around,” and full of regret about not picking
    213 a lane (or even better, a ladder). It had become hard to explain what I was
    214 good at—most importantly to myself. My sister had recently made partner at a
    215 prestigious law firm, and it seemed easier for my parents to be proud of her
    216 than of me. I couldn’t really blame them.
    217 
    218 Kevin Kelly would say it’s good to have an “illegible” career path—it means
    219 you’re onto interesting stuff. But I wasn’t so sure anymore.
    220 
    221 [041_KevinKelly041725_Colossus_photobyAndriaLo-scaled]
    222 [047_KevinKelly041725_Colossus_photobyAndriaLo-scaled]
    223 
    224 I pull up to Kelly’s Pacifica, California studio—the last house at the very
    225 edge of Vallemar off Route 1. It’s a big, barn-looking structure pressed up
    226 against a steep hill, which is covered in wild flowers and towering trees. It
    227 was overcast and smelled like the ocean and eucalyptus. The only way I knew I’d
    228 come to the right place was the very small sign on the door that read “kk.org,”
    229 on which I’ve spent dozens of hours over the years.
    230 
    231 Stepping inside, I felt like I’d time-traveled back to the early 1990s and
    232 entered my little brother’s dream bedroom. There were huge LEGO towers, K’nex
    233 sculptures hanging from the ceiling, and a massive wall of books spanning two
    234 floors. Most of the books were faded from use or sunlight, the dust jackets
    235 bent, and they were all stacked and tilted in a way that suggested they’d
    236 actually been read. There were knickknacks piled up everywhere, and even more
    237 haphazardly tucked into bins or captured in jars.
    238 
    239 It was hardly the image of a futurist’s office, and in sharp contrast to the
    240 Japandi workspaces you see going viral on X. Yet despite the sheer amount of
    241 stuff lying around in Kelly’s haven, nothing appeared like junk. Every object
    242 seemed to vibrate with meaning, begging you to ask, “What’s this for?” or
    243 “Where’d you get that?”
    244 
    245 As I was scanning the lower rungs of the bookshelf, Kelly materialized on the
    246 indoor balcony and invited me upstairs to talk. He was wearing socks that were
    247 way too big—the spaces where his toes should have been were empty and flopped
    248 around in front of him—and his pants were stained from actual paint (i.e., not
    249 in the Rag & Bone way).
    250 
    251 As I walked up the stairs, I asked him what the oldest object in the studio
    252 was, but he immediately deflected. No interest in nostalgia from the futurist,
    253 I guessed.
    254 
    255 I slowed down as I walked by the second-floor wall of knickknacks and started
    256 scanning. Kelly caught me doing so, pulled some leather doohickey about the
    257 size of my hand off the shelf, and handed it to me.
    258 
    259 “What do you think this is?” he asked. I twirled it around and desperately
    260 wanted to answer correctly, but figured that wasn’t the point. Still, I fumbled
    261 around nervously and couldn’t even eke out a guess. Probably sensing my
    262 anxiety, Kelly jumped in. “It’s a leather cap for an eagle.” He got it in
    263 Mongolia where there’s a tradition of using eagles to hunt, he explained. Now
    264 things were feeling looser. I got the feeling I could pull this thread about
    265 the Mongolian eagles or get another story. Kelly made my decision for me when
    266 he directed my attention to a small jar containing a little creature’s bones.
    267 “This is from a bird that flew into that window,” he said, pointing to a window
    268 over his desk. I nodded along with enthusiasm. “I freeze-dried them!” he said
    269 proudly.
    270 
    271 We strolled over to his desk, where he asked me to try to lift a small but
    272 dense ball that was sitting on the floor next to it. I could barely get it
    273 above my ankle. Kelly told me it was made out of tungsten. “It has a similar
    274 density to gold,” he continued. “Now every time you see a criminal in the
    275 movies running away with a bag of tungsten, you’ll know how unrealistic it is.”
    276 
    277     Greatness is overrated. It’s a form of extremism, and it comes with extreme
    278     vices that I have no interest in.
    279 
    280     Kevin Kelly
    281 
    282 It was so much fun connecting with Kelly over these random little objects—I
    283 felt I was learning something about him I couldn’t through his books and blog
    284 posts; like I was getting to the real spirit he brings to his life and work.
    285 But before I could think too much, we were onto the next.
    286 
    287 There was a train track running along the wall, just below the ceiling, and I
    288 asked if it worked. I half-expected him to yell, “Alexa, start your engines!”
    289 Instead, Kelly walked over to his desk and picked up a controller and turned it
    290 on. Nothing happened. He replaced the batteries, gave the controller a smack
    291 like it was a Nintendo 64 cartridge, and tried again. The train, looking like
    292 something my dad might have built at the model shop down the street in the 60s,
    293 immediately started choo-chooing around the room. Kelly stood and smiled
    294 proudly again as he watched it go. Eventually we took our seats next to his
    295 desk to talk. 
    296 
    297 I started off by asking him whether there is a unifying theme to his seemingly
    298 diffuse life’s work, which has included old-school magazines and books,
    299 bleeding-edge technology, conservationism, photographing Asia, and teaching.
    300 “Following my interests,” he said simply.
    301 
    302 It sounded awfully cutesy for someone so accomplished. I said that there is an
    303 idiosyncratic magic to the way he follows his interests, which is that they’re
    304 not just an input; Kelly turns his interests into an output that he can share
    305 with others. When I asked if I was onto something, I learned that Kelly doesn’t
    306 think in outputs. For him, doing is part of learning. “I don’t really pursue a
    307 destination,” he said. “I pursue a direction.”
    308 
    309 I asked him the difference between “following your interests” and being
    310 scatterbrained or having shiny object syndrome, like I sometimes worry I do.
    311 “The people who become legendary in their interests never feel they have
    312 arrived,” he said. When he talked about the power of passion and obsession in
    313 that process, I asked him if passion is enough. “Enough for what?” he asked,
    314 somewhat rhetorically. He had an impression of what I meant. “I think one of
    315 the least interesting reasons to be interested in something is money,” he said,
    316 and cited Walt Disney. “We don’t make movies to make money. We make money to
    317 make more movies.”
    318 
    319 Money isn’t actually what I meant, but I appreciated that he took the
    320 conversation there. I let the silence hang for a minute before he continued.
    321 “What I’m talking about is taking your interests seriously enough to have the
    322 courage to stay moving. You can give stuff away. You can abandon things. You
    323 can tolerate failure because you know that tomorrow there is more.”
    324 
    325 I asked Kelly about the tradeoffs of focusing on a single thing if you want to
    326 be great (which is what I had been getting at before). “Greatness is
    327 overrated,” he said, and I perked up. “It’s a form of extremism, and it comes
    328 with extreme vices that I have no interest in. Steve Jobs was a jerk. Bob Dylan
    329 is a jerk.”
    330 
    331 The way Kelly approaches work differently was starting to come into focus.
    332 
    333 [051_KevinKelly041725_Colossus_photobyAndriaLo-scaled]
    334 [011_KevinKelly041725_Colossus_photobyAndriaLo-scaled]
    335 
    336 Accounts of people pursuing their life’s work often include phrases like
    337 “maniacal focus” or “relentless pursuit.” I hear investors say they’re looking
    338 for founders with “a chip on their shoulder.” Facebook’s iconic “Little Red
    339 Book” from 2012, which still serves as a pillar for peak tech culture, features
    340 a full-page spread that says “Greatness and comfort rarely coexist.”
    341 
    342 A recent xeet from Reid Hoffman reads, “If a founder brags about having ‘a
    343 balanced life,’ I assume they’re not serious about winning.” Jensen Huang says
    344 he wants to “torture people into greatness.” When I was on the job hunt many
    345 years ago, an investor was pitching one of his portfolio companies by saying,
    346 with a wink, that the founder would do “whatever it takes to win.” I genuinely
    347 didn’t know what he meant by that, but it sent a shudder down my spine. Once I
    348 heard a serial founder say he started his second company “out of chaos and
    349 revenge.” I heard about another prominent CEO that looks in the mirror every
    350 morning and asks himself, “Why do you suck so much?” I read a biography of Elon
    351 Musk; he seems tortured. There’s some rumor floating around about how Sam
    352 Altman was so focused on building his first startup that he only ate ramen and
    353 got scurvy. [96]According to Altman, “I never got tested but I think (I had
    354 it). I had extreme lethargy, sore legs, and bleeding gums.”
    355 
    356 Compared to this, Kelly’s version of doing his life’s work seems so joyful, so
    357 buoyant. So much less … angsty. There’s no suffering or ego. It’s not about
    358 finding a hole in the market or a path to global domination. The yard stick
    359 isn’t based on net worth or shareholder value or number of users or employees.
    360 It’s based on an internal satisfaction meter, but not in a self-indulgent way.
    361 He certainly seeks resonance and wants to make an impact, but more in the way
    362 of a teacher. He breathes life into products or ideas, not out of a desire to
    363 win, but out of a desire to advance our collective thinking or action. His work
    364 and its impact unfold slowly, rather than by sheer force of will. Ideas or
    365 projects seem to tug at him, rather than reveal themselves on the other end of
    366 an internal cattle prod. His range is wide, but all his work somehow rhymes. It
    367 clearly comes very naturally for him to work this way, but it’s certainly not
    368 the norm. 
    369 
    370 If this is a way of living and working that’s available to all of us, why do we
    371 fetishize the white-knuckling and pain?
    372 
    373 I know I’m not the first person to have the brilliant idea that we can do
    374 better work when we like it. I know that the whole “find your passion” movement
    375 fell flat in its naivete. But I think somewhere along the way, the message
    376 about what it feels like to be great has become a bit perverted.
    377 
    378 A few years ago, I forced myself to try and write down a professional goal.
    379 After several hours of forced meditation on the topic, all I could muster was
    380 “have a good day, most days.” And don’t get me wrong, by “good day” I don’t
    381 mean sitting by a pool drinking an Aperol Spritz. I feel alive when I launch
    382 something exciting, close a big deal, or build an elegant model. I enjoy the
    383 feeling of caring so much about something that it wakes me up in the middle of
    384 the night (it happened multiple times writing this piece). And yet, I imagined
    385 sharing my ambition to “have a good day, most days” in a job interview—and
    386 decided to keep it to myself, because it probably doesn’t speak well of me.
    387 
    388 But there I was, in front of a personal hero, whose most striking quality is
    389 that he seems to be having a nice day, most days. Why can’t we work and enjoy
    390 it? And I don’t mean in the masochistic sense.
    391 
    392 I thought I was here to go deep on working Hollywood style, but as I sat there
    393 with Kelly in a room of what are best described as his toys, I realized that
    394 the most interesting thing about him is that he seems happy. At ease in the
    395 world and in his skin. I wasn’t there with Kelly for permission to work
    396 Hollywood style. I was there for permission to work with both ambition and joy.
    397 
    398     If this is a way of living and working that’s available to all of us, why
    399     do we fetishize the white-knuckling and pain?
    400 
    401 This shouldn’t make us defensive or self-conscious, but it does. I, like many
    402 others, want to be great. I want to feel commitment and camaraderie and work
    403 hard and be my best and impact top and bottom lines. But I don’t want to also
    404 feel tormented or be tortured into greatness or look in the mirror and wonder
    405 why I suck. But what does that say about me?
    406 
    407 I want more role models like Kevin Kelly. People that proudly whistle while
    408 they work. Who have boundless energy and healthy gums. Whose enthusiasm is
    409 contagious. Who are well-adjusted and emotionally regulated. Who have solid
    410 relationships and happy families. Who are hungry and impactful and care deeply,
    411 without being jerks. And I want more people to talk about these qualities with
    412 respect and reverence.
    413 
    414 I have never been a billionaire or built a unicorn, so I can’t speak with any
    415 conviction about what it requires. I won’t be eulogized anywhere important and
    416 no one 300 years from now will talk about what great things I did. But I want
    417 to live in a world where you can have an impact and be happy. Maybe that’s
    418 naive, but I’m sticking to it.
    419 
    420 All of this occurs naturally to Kelly, and he doesn’t have complicated feelings
    421 about it. I’m hoping to get there myself by channeling him more. “The more you
    422 pursue interests,” he told me on the good day we spent together, “the more you
    423 realize that the well is bottomless.”
