💡✍️ADN #070: Uncommon Honesty
Mar 24, 2024Hey Friends -
Last week, we explored how to be the conductor and turn any scenario into one you control.
You can re-read last week’s newsletter here if you want to refresh.
Today’s subject is how to write with Uncommon Honesty.
Let’s go — ->

Have you ever had that feeling?
The one where you have an idea that excites and scares you at the same time.
The kind of thought that (if you share it) will change not only your life but the perception of the people around you.
One that gives an honest look at who you truly are.
It’s incredible — the artists, writers, and business people who listen to their instincts in these moments and act on them are rewarded as pioneers and trailblazers.
They FIT OUT from the rest.
The ones who shy away from their most honest thoughts FIT IN.
The “fit-in” don’t want to rock the boat; they’d rather just ride on it.
The “fit-out” find a way no matter what.
As an artist, songwriter, or leader in the music business, you must be brave enough to shake the sea.
To make waves, you can’t stay the course; you’ve got to crash it.
How?
Chart a path of Uncommon Honesty.
The word you’re afraid to write?
Write it.
The song you’re scared to sing?
Sing it.
The truth you think you shouldn’t tell?
Tell it.
The shot you want to take?
Take it.
There are 8 billion people on earth.
I promise your uncommon honesty will resonate with an audience somewhere out there.
Wouldn’t you rather resonate with people who relate to you?
Create with uncommon honesty, and you’ll find an audience that is as uncommon as you.
See you next Sunday!
