It discusses the challenges artists face in standing out and being authentic, using an analogy of zebras marked for study. The video also promotes a five-day challenge to help artists grow their fan base while being true to themselves.
There were some scientists that were studying zebras. They would find that when they would go to study the zebras, they would look down at their documents and then look back up at the tribe herd, whatever it is, and they would see, oh, okay, I've lost the zebra that I was looking for. They decided the best way to fix that was to paint a red dot on the back of the zebras haunches. They could find the zebra and mark down the data, but those zebras were actually the first ones to get killed by the lions. As an artist, when you show up with your beliefs, your stories, your ideas, you are making it likely for someone to take a shot at you, to judge you. But ironically, if you don't put a mark on yourself, you'll just blend in with the crowd. I'm doing a five day challenge that starts on Monday where I'll teach you how to be more yourself online and to show up more authentically while growing a fan base for your art. You can check the description for the details.
