The only thing in this crazy game that gives you a leg up is you.
Take podcasting: The tendency is to want to imitate or copy other people and then just overlay what you’re saying through a filter of people who inspire you.
That’s okay … only to a point … because at some point you need to find out what makes you tick.
When you land on what makes you weird, and by weird I just mean what makes you you, then you need to double down on that and don’t apologize for it.
People might want to push you toward the middle, but you want to keep pushing back until you reach the edge.
Whatever it is that makes you weird, that’s where you need to live and for those who call you too weird, throw up your hands and say, Thank you, it’s not for you.
But for the people you resonate with because of your weirdness, you’ll be special and they’ll keep showing up so long as you do.
