Manage episode 401180198 series 3270073
Hey fam!
We've just had an amazing chat with our content partner and friend Mike Freed.
Mike is not just a very successful lawyer, but also master of making people laugh.
He's a genius at touching hearts and making a real difference with his words.
And guess what? He's spilled all his secrets on how we can do it too, in our own content!
We talked about something super cool. Making content, the stuff we read or watch online, is a lot like telling jokes or funny stories.
Mike told me that whether we're trying to make someone laugh or make them think, it's all about practicing a lot and paying attention to what works and what doesn't.
He mentioned a special ingredient: being real and sharing a bit of our own stories.
It sounds a bit scary, right?
But when we share a little bit of ourselves, it's like magic. People feel more connected to us and remember what we say way better.
So, if you love creating things for others to enjoy, such as writing, making videos, or anything else, you'll find this chat with Mike super helpful.
It's packed with #goldenboulders of wisdom that'll help you elevate your content.
Today's show will make your brain go, "Wow, I can totally do this!"
So, are you ready?
