I’ve changed my opinion and actually don’t think you need to be super talented to be successful at content. For years I thought you had to have the “it” factor to be influential. You were born with the talent. A combo of confidence, unique perspective, charisma. I think @ShaanVP , @levelsio , Alex cooper, @Casey , joe Rogan are examples of super high it factor people. I’m in that category likely but am less talented as those guys. But then there’s this other category that I, for years, stupidly dismissed. People who have less talent but are super process driven. They’re good at iterating, looking at data, and sticking to a solid process of making content people like. I think most greats have a huge combo of both. But also you can get super far by scoring high on one of the two. Particularly the process driven one. I know this is a very “no duh” basic ass realization but I think many creators or wanna be creators think how I thought. I wanted to think “you either have it or you don’t” and “you can’t hard work your way to creativity or art.” That’s bullshit. You can get to a high level of success this way (but the greats have it all). Good examples of people who seem to have a solid combo of both are Steven Bartlett. He seems to have amazing process and it factor. And a lot of “unknown” comedians that sell out stadiums. Meaning the less mainstream guys who stick to their niche but outsell the “mainstream” guys.
