Show Notes
After recently watching Happy Gilmore for probably the twentieth time, it got me thinking about how we present ourselves as creators.
I found myself reflecting quite existentially on the impact that Adam Sandler’s character had on my view of where the world of content creation currently sits.
And I honestly think it’s all a little boring.
Overwhelmingly people are presenting as the “professional” version of themselves, especially on LinkedIn. This makes sense as we predominantly put out content to draw the viewer/listener into ultimately buying something from us.
We present as the authority.
We present as a leader.
But are we showing enough of ourselves to keep our content interesting?
In this episode, I go through a few key lessons I learned from Happy Gilmore about content creation.
