What is Aspiring Generalist?

Weekly digests packed with links to random interesting things and content related to learning, growing, exploring, and becoming the best-possible versions of ourselves (according to our own definitions of “best”) from me, Colin Wright.

Who’s Colin Wright?

I’ve written books like Becoming Who We Need To Be and Some Thoughts About Relationships, I host the Let’s Know Things, Brain Lenses, and One Sentence News podcasts, and I write and curate probably too many online publications (including You Probably Don’t Need and Climate Happenings).

I do some speaking, I travel a fair bit, and I love learning in all its forms (and sharing those learnings with others).

You can find out more about me, my work, and what I’m working on here, if you’re interested.

You can also say hello on the socials: Substack Notes / Instagram / Facebook / Twitter(X) / YouTube / LinkedIn / Mastodon / Bluesky
