About 11 years ago, I cold-emailed Om for his guidance. I was an absolute nobody, living thousands of miles away. Not only did Om patiently explain how I should think about my career, he kept in touch over the past decade checking in on how I was doing. I left journalism last year to do something else -- coincidentally, again, following Om's footsteps -- and had been meaning to write a long email, sharing so much. I deeply regret missing the chance to have another conversation with him.
Om has been deeply impactful to my journalism career and beyond. He was way too kind and leaves a big vacuum.
You might find it helpful to write the email, if you can find the time. Even if you never get to send it.
Or maybe even more if you do send it
"Om patiently explain how I should think about my career" - care to share what Om explained to you?
I’d love to know too.
Say more..
why do i get downvoted for asking the poster to share more about the advice he received?? why is this a net negative. im so confused.
