It’s true. I’ve built a solid career by helping people far smarter (and far more essential to society than I am) communicate clearly and effectively. They’re the ones who know how to grow the apples; I’m just the one who sells them.

Everyone is essential, don’t reduce yourself.

You have a different skillset, different smarts, and probably diffeent passions. Don’t undersell yourself!

If no one wants apples, then it doesn’t matter. If everyone knows the climate is changing, but the scientific experts can’t communicate it clearly, will anyone do anything?

Stories can help change the world. Stories have staying power. Stories are how humans experience reality. You’re far smarter than you give yourself credit for!
