In this short conversation, the speaker reflects on an early decision made while building a business with a partner, Carolina. With a background in marketing and copy, the speaker initially coached Carolina on email messaging and considered editing her language for correctness. However, they chose to preserve her natural accent and speech style, recognizing it as part of her personality and charm. They argue that editing away these traits would diminish authenticity, especially as AI tools can replicate voices. The discussion extends to the broader principle that genuine, even goofy, presentation signals a good fit between creators and their audience, while forced polish may indicate a mismatch. The overall message advocates for embracing authentic voices rather than striving for polished perfection.

And if we, if we make it not a match, then why would we do that? You know? And it's also like the way I feel about doing these lives. If someone comes on here and watches us and they think I'm goofy or like this doesn't make make any sense, then it's probably not a good fit for us to be working together anyway.
That's right.
It's kind of saving all of us. It's kind of saving all of us the mess of trying to figure that out. You know, it makes it really easy.
That's totally right. There is no perfection. There's no perfection. And that's something I think is really important to share with the younger generations, that there is no perfection. Be who you are. Like be who you are. When sometimes people are like, I want to be just like you, Claude. I'm like, no, no, no, you don't. Be you. Be you. Don't be me. I'm already me.
