What if starting from zero isn’t failure—but the whole point? In this pilot episode of Inference & Incense, Lucy and Jen unpack The Fool—tarot’s card zero and the patron saint of beginners, false starts, and “I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m going anyway.”

We talk about what it actually feels like to step into the unknown—whether you’re learning a new AI tool, changing careers, or flirting with spirituality while still clutching your rational brain.

Through personal stories and a live card reading, we explore why the most meaningful growth—technical or personal—often comes from carrying less certainty, not more. If you’ve ever worried you’re behind, unqualified, or starting too late, this episode is a reminder that everyone starts at zero—and that might be where the real intelligence lives.
