Can today's caller translate old skills like Morse Code into a profitable hustle, -.-- --- ..- / -.- -. --- .-- / .. -!
Notes from Chris
Episode 1535
Welcome to a new week! A listener recently learned morse code to do more than send an SOS signal. Might there be a resurgent interest in “old skills”? It’s always interesting what comes back into fashion or generates renewed interest over time. We’ll use this question to consider how someone might bring together people with this kind (or any other kind) of shared interest? I also have a real-world example in mind that could be helpful to consider."I recently started learning morse code, and it's the coolest thing. This is how sailors and armies communicated way back in the day before the telephone. Though it might not have a tremendously practical use these days, I definitely think more people should know about it—and it just seems like a geeky skill more people want to learn. Then I thought about other skills that might be similar, in that they were useful at one point but fell out of style with new technology. Writing shorthand, maybe, or navigating by stars. Could there be some way to bundle these things together into some kind of course or program?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
