A short YouTube monologue by Matt Ryder (uploaded by Matt Ryder) advocating radical authenticity: "Just be you" as a sales and life strategy. The speaker argues that being genuine attracts the right people and repels others, and uses a magnet metaphor (north/south poles, cutting a magnet) to show that personality traits inherently sort people. The tone is conversational, blunt, and motivational.
Just be you for as long as you physically can. And the people who like you will stick around and the ones that don't will take a fuck off and scream and yell and go and they'll just leave and you'll never see them again. So who cares anyway? If you like me, fantastic. If you don't, that's cool too, dude. Like, it doesn't bother me. And that's because my personality will draw in certain people and push away certain people. And that is totally fine. A magnet has two poles. If you cut a magnet in half, you know what you get? If you cut it right down the north and south? You just get a smaller magnet with the north and the south. Cut that in half again, splits in half again, cut in half, split in half again. You always have a north and a south. And so whatever positive elements of your personality that you have will drive negative aspects or be a negative aspect to somebody else.
