What is the Monkey Talent?
Hello welcome
The phrase was handed to me when I was working as a barista. A regular asked what I do—really. I told him I create my ideas as they come.
“Ahhh… the monkey talent,” he said.
I was sold—embedded like stone in the truth of the words.
Monkey talent is the kind of skill that can be taught out of us. The kind that just exists—if it isn’t interrupted.
It’s instinct.
Closer to how an animal moves, plays, builds, or passes gas than anything refined or taught. There’s little separation between impulse and action.
It’s staying close to feeling. Not layering it with heavy narratives, and trusting it.
It comes from being present enough to be in pure conversation with your impulses.
That’s the talent, as well as my guide.
My name is Goldie Marcoe. I’ve been looking for a way to share my work that feels like an extension of my process, not a departure from it—less like a void, more like a love letter.
welcome
to the Monkey Talent!
I have a lot to catch you up on...
