Psst! We've got another exciting DSMW2020 announcement for you today — you'll find it at the very bottom of this email!
Earlier today, a college student majoring in communications interviewed me about my role here as IMPACT's content director.
It was a weird experience.
On the one hand, I felt awesomely authoritative and confident in what I was saying, as I (somehow) had a lot of well-formulated opinions and thoughts I could draw upon from my 15-year career.
On the other hand, I felt very old because, at one point, it dawned on me that the girl interviewing me probably couldn't have picked Zach Morris out of a lineup.
To be clear, I am not knocking her age in the least, because she is incredibly bright and talented, and a joy to talk to; I was just keenly aware in that moment of the passage of time.
For example, I am no longer someone who considers 11:30 p.m. an acceptable time for a night out to begin, you know what I mean?
Live footage of me... on most evenings.
Anyway, I digress.
One of the questions she asked me was:
"What does good content look like?"
My answer to her came flying out of my mouth, fully formed, before I could even think about it:
"Oh, that's easy. It's laser-focused on solving a specific problem for a specific person or audience, and the author does so in a way that's honest, thorough, and memorable. That's really all there is to it."
Genuinely, that's the truth. Good content comes in all shapes and sizes. And storytellers of all kinds have their own flair, personality, tone, and voice. That's the way it should be.
But when I look at what the best of the best content always has in common, it's those attributes, plain and simple. And I'm not just talking about written content. These are the same hallmarks of great videos and outstanding podcasts.
Bottom line, you don't have to be Chaucer or Hemingway to be a rockstar, revenue-generating content creator.
You just have to be laser-focused, honest, thorough, and so utterly yourself that no one else could ever claim ownership of your work.
I don't know who needed to hear that today, but I hope this little virtual pep talk helps out a few of you.
And now, here's THE LATEST...
