I remember you saying before about how some people are great at voicing their opinions because they say the same thing over and over again so it’s refined and sharpened. It’s kind of reassuring in a way, that people are consistent across the board, that they really believe the things they say instead of just saying something to purely entertain or surprise.
Not at all! They can always skip it if they don’t want to read it again. But it’s a chance for new readers and repeat enthusiastic readers to get a refresh :)
I run into this all the time with both public speaking and writing, where I think that because I've said something once I can't repeat it, which is crazy, because literally forget the next day often what was communicated, and need to hear things dozens of times often before it lands.
This makes so much sense! This reminds me of the Russian Doll exercise in WoP. I think it's also really cool to see this happening as we observe great thinkers refine ideas in different mediums: from blog post to book to pod to TedTalk.

Yesss! There’s value in going deep with ideas after all instead of purely going wide and doing hot takes.
I found myself repeating the same ideas too in my writing and also in collaborations/interviews. I was worried that I am boring my readers.

I'll keep that in mind!
Dang a truth and curation, amazing amazing!
Thank you! Very accidental curation piece
I love how this turned out. This is sage advice for really, anyone making anything.
Thank you Ian :)

For sure! And things need to land at the right time too, when the listener is open to hearing it.
