Medallion Status: True Stories from Secret Rooms by John Hodgman
4.0
I'm delighted to report that I read Medallion Status on my own journey to achieve (Delta's) Silver Medallion.
This was an absolute joy to read! The structure, is of course airline status and all the perks you get for being on the move or for being famous. Fame and status fade, but what you really want to be is in the world and not on the outside, and these little perks just make us feel good in the world for as long as we can capture them.
John Hodgman and I have very similar worldviews, so it definitely felt like he was often a little birdie on my shoulder succinctly backing up my opinions on this or that.
Most important takeaway: I once spotted John Hodgman in Brooklyn, and next time I see him I'll make sure to say, "It's John Hodgman!" because we're all in this together.
