The Apollonian 7 – 10/4/24

Throughout weeks 1-5, I pressured myself to provide elaborate, intellectual topics. Now that I’m outside of college, essay prompts are out of place. The feedback I’ve received from you is making me a clearer communicator and a more strategic entrepreneur.

Instead, I will show and not tell.

Long, conceptual research will be based on my studies and viewable on the Eye of Apollo website. Here’s my reading list…

  • The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley

  • Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut

  • The Birth of Tragedy by Friedrich Nietzsche

  • Weaving The Web by Tim Berners-Lee

  • Too Smart: How Digital Capitalism Is Extracting Data, Controlling Our Lives, and Taking Over the World by Jathan Sadowski

  • Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut

 

Ultimately, the goal of this business venture, titled Eye of Apollo, is to build an equitable, creative studio. Our first focus is highlighting a comic book’s narrative through clothing.

The goals of this newsletter:

  1. Leading by example by documenting the process of launching a business venture.

  2. Sharing the perspectives, resources, research, and inspiration behind this venture.

  3. Learning how to provide inspirational, multimedia entertainment.

  4. Supporting benevolent artists, businesses, and brands in my community.

Time is our most essential resource, and my obstacles exposed the importance of focus, strategy, and alignment to virtues. For the next two weeks, I will answer the linked questions for Eye of Apollo, and for each area of my personal life.

The questions and prompts can be found here.

Until Next Time, Wolves.

Kindness always wins,

Apollo
