Tik Tok and Instagram or hands-on practical experience?
Two things I haven’t kept track of but happen over and over:
- People saying, “Your material is great! You should promote it more on Tik Tok, Instagram, etc to make it available to more people.”
- Me saying, “Leadership requires credibility and integrity, which require hands-on practical experience.”
Sure, I could go for the quick clicks as the guy off the grid in Manhattan. I could probably get a million followers, but to change global culture, continuing the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, requires a solid, deep foundation. I’m getting closer to launch all the time, but not there yet.
The reason my material has value and meaning and that there is so much of it is that I’m not going for the quick clicks, which would be complying with the current culture, not changing it.
Going for the clicks and followers would accelerate the parts of our culture undermining liberty, freedom, equality, and freedom, the opposite of my goal: to restore them. Advancing a culture promoting more pollution, depletion, and funding its industries’ executives, advertisers, lobbyists, and politicians is the opposite of my goal. I suggest it’s the opposite of yours too, if you like liberty, freedom, equality, and democracy.
The last paragraph is starting to cover some of my next book. That book is a lot of what’s on my mind. I can’t wait to share it with you all. More to come. In the meantime, I’m going to keep choosing integrity and credibility through hands-on practical experience in sustainability leadership, not in Instagram.
