I’ve realized that I have been avoiding talking about some of the negative experiences on my content-creation journey. And there are probably various reasons for that: pride, embarrassment, wanting to stay optimistic & upbeat, not wanting people to feel sorry for me, etc. But I’ve also realized that if I’m going to stay true to my values of authenticity, transparency, and honesty, then I need to find an appropriate way to communicate about both my successes and failures. This is going to be a challenge for me, but I believe it’s also going to make me a better story teller.
