Short, informal monologue by Mark Evans DM encouraging authenticity and sharing personal stories. He urges creators to speak to themselves honestly (including cursing), reveal pivotal moments (e.g., accidents, life pivots), and to pre-empt critics by making fun of themselves so others have less power to shame them.
Dude, my podcast was very authentic. I cuss a lot in that. I swear. I'm like, do not cuss. Do not cut. Welcome to the show. Like, I'm trying not to, but I get so excited. But I'm talking to myself. I'm never talking to the audience. I'm talking to myself. Like, how I want to be talked to. Like, call me on my own. Don't be a liar. Stop being a. You got that? Like, I'm saying the same thing. I'd say myself just on the audio format. You, dude, you gotta do the same thing, man. You know, just share your story, dude. Pivot moment when you got in the car. Wreck 21. Like, I'd be sharing that stuff. People hide from that stuff. That's the stuff you want to share because there's a narrative going on whether you like it or not. Why not control it? You know? They're gonna make fun of you. Make fun of yourself first. Now they have no power, you know?
