A short YouTube monologue arguing that direct advice is only useful to people in the exact same context as the adviser. The speaker recommends replacing prescriptive advice with personal storytelling—sharing one’s experience so diverse listeners can translate it to their own situations.
Advice is only helpful to somebody in the exact same context as you. And the reality is, if you decide to build your entire platform on advice, then the only people that that advice will be helpful for people who are in the exact same context that you're in. So when you feel sucked into that advice trap, just switch it to storytelling. Because if I tell my experience, I tell my story, I tell how I've went through it. Now, anybody in any context can translate my story into their context.
