When you make your brand “nice,” “digestible,” and inoffensive, it stops making people feel anything, and your sales pay the price. In this unredacted case file, I unpack how playing it safe diluted my voice, why high-engagement posts rarely equal revenue, and how to put polarity back into your content without going political (or being a jerk).

🔍 IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL UNCOVER:

• Why “palatable” content kills emotion (and emotion drives buying decisions)
• The real gap between engagement and revenue (virality ≠ sales)
• How to add healthy polarity without turning your brand into a political feed
• A practical plan to regain your edge: identify the “safe” posts, inject emotion, and share the opinions you’ve been softening

🗂️ CASE EVIDENCE FROM THIS FILE: 

• "You can't create loyalty when your content is forgettable."
• "If your content feels safe, it's probably not saying anything worth remembering."
• "High engagement doesn’t always equal sales; sometimes your lowest-performing post makes you the most money."
• "Polarity is the fastest filter: it attracts the right people and pushes away the wrong ones."
• "Playing it safe is just another way of saying you’re okay being invisible."
