Topics We Explored:

  • What the fears are that people have about standing out with their message, and how to navigate that territory with clients and customers
  • Why it’s important to have your own unique stance on topics, which doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be controversial
  • How you can figure out what your stance is on a certain topic and add your own verse to the conversation
  • Why it’s okay to be a complex person with a variety of thoughts and beliefs, as opposed to being a generic brand that blends in
  • What you can do to stand up for your message so others aren’t projecting their counterproductive messages to the world

“Opposition is at the heart of story.” — Jeffrey Davis
