Level 1: Conscious vs Unconscious My personal belief is that every single person on the internet, whether they realize it or not, is playing “the game.” The game is simple. When you post a piece of content—whether it’s a picture of you and your family on Facebook, or a video of you jumping into a pool in a bikini on Instagram, or a link to a New York Times article on LinkedIn—you are sharing a part of yourself at scale. The more you share, the more people learn about you. The more people learn about you, the more conversations happen, the more opportunities present themselves, and the more a scalable digital version of your real-life self begins to crystalize on the internet.

Often the goal is simply to do something like “move to the cloud by the end of the year.” It doesn’t matter if this project made a difference or not, only that it was completed on time.
