A speaker reflects on why creating original content from your own life matters more than copying what already exists. They share personal experiences and argue that your unique perspective is the legacy worth leaving.
The reason I'll do this is for two major reasons. One, I'm a firm believer when it comes to content creation, of having your own version of the thing that you want to have a conversation around or people have questions about. So sure, could I say, hey, go read the book Think like a Monk by Jay Shetty, Go, you know the Big Leap by Gay Hendrix, Go like Sore by tdj. Like I could do that, but why would I not create my own version based on the experiences and lessons that I've learned over my lifetime of almost dying three times, being in the military, being a high school dropout at three years old, living in a one room log cabin, riding my pony to a one room schoolhouse. Like, I have this knowledge and this mentorship of like 52, almost 53 years that I'm like, I gotta do something with this. And this leads me to another piece of this is I don't want to get to my grave and go, oh, there was a lot of potential there, there was a lot of ways that I could have helped future humans on the planet. But Jay wrote a book, Gay wrote a book, T.D. jakes wrote a book, right? And so all of this is out of like, I don't care if there's a million other books because there's a thousand or ten thousand other people who are going to connect with the way that I say it, the way that I write it, the way that we create it. And that's just a firm believing of content in general is like you will have the tribe that wants to circle themselves around the way that you teach, preach or present the content that you're, you're doing.
