Episode notes

Focus on writing about subjects that genuinely fascinate and engage you, rather than strategizing or trying to cater to market demands. By writing about your obsessions, you make the storytelling process more enjoyable and increase the likelihood of creating compelling content that resonates with readers. This advice applies not only to writing but also to businesses, encouraging them to focus on areas that genuinely fascinate them rather than solely following calculated strategic approaches.
