Deliver Value (Aka The Shawshank S*** Crawl)

September 15, 2023

Value comes from doing the thing you’re willing to do that somebody else wants done but doesn’t want to bother with. 

Questlove demos 500 or so songs per week to curate custom playlists for 700+ very cool (and lucky) friends of his. 

His expression for listening to all this music because nobody else will (or will make time for it, even if they love music) is:

The Shawshank S*** Crawl. 

Perfect label. That’s why they call it work. Because to someone, it’s a “Shawshank s*** crawl,” and despite its gross hardness, it also leads to freedom.
