Making money is not just based on skills and knowledge. It also requires capital and containers. Capital provides endurance and resilience. The ability to survive through waves of feast and famine, with a degree of stability. The ability to invest, unlearn, relearn, and adapt as the skills and knowledge that are required and rewarded change. The ability to absorb and accommodate shocks from expected and unexpected risks. Containers give shape and form to what we do. They are the wider context in which we operate. The laws. The agreements. The relationships. The barriers. The incentives. Containers are where the rubber hits the road, and we get paid for our potential. They hold the space for an ask to meet an offer. They allow potential to manifest. Without capital and containers, merit does not get seen.
