The speaker (creator Mick Hunt) recounts an anecdote where they pitched to their producer, around Christmas, to speak with homeless people to gather their stories. The producer dismissed the idea as unlikely to "rate," which led the speaker to realize mainstream media's constraints and ultimately decide to leave mainstream media to pursue more meaningful storytelling focused on underrepresented voices.

Chapters

I had pitched my producer, you know, hey, why don't I. It was around Christmas time, season of giving. Why don't I go speak with homeless people? Not as, like, a gimmick, you know, get their stories. Maybe we could help. And a producer kind of patted me on the back, like, oh, that's. That's admirable. But that, that won't rate. That's when it kind of hit me. I. I was always. I was already a little, like, unfulfilled in the mainstream media grind. But that's when I realized, like, I'm never going to be able to actually do stories of substance, talk to people that don't rate. So that's kind of when I left mainstream media.
