The Punk Years What makes a Maverick ?

I was so fortunate to be a student in late 70s Britain. The country was pretty drab and dirty then and London was a pretty dangerous  place.
Out of this malaise came a movement of unbelievable passion, energy and attitude - Punk Rock.
With its roots in New York it really made its mark here.
I was a working class misfit late teen , who suddenly met lots of other like me.
Often it wasn't about the music, as many early bands couldn't really play their instruments, it was about  chaos.
It gave you an attitude to  hook onto, that said "I can be anything i want to be and no-one can stop me".
Today i see a lot of the the essence  of punk, in startup entrepreneurs i work with.
They've got high energy, ideas and belief and they'll learn as they go - the ultimate extreme  growth mindset.
In this episode i really enjoy sharing my love for the music that talks to my inner being.
The  fun i had and most importantly  what i learnt from being a punk.
That being authentic,true to yourself and with like minded people is a hugely freeing place to be .
