Stop Trying To Sound
Like An Expert
Transcript
People need to be more, experiment more, be more curious with their content and realize they have to be authentic. Meaning, it's such a cliche, people think they have to be an expert or a charismatic supernova. I actually think most people really enjoy watching their journey more than people realize. There's so many fucking posers acting like marketing experts. They literally watch my video and then go regurgitating what I said. I get it and it's clever or slimy, depending on how one wants to look at it, but it's not going to work. Because you're going to be exposed. It has to be you and it's either really into what you're going through.
