Authenticity lives at the intersection of transparency and reputation.

Why try to conform to the expectation of others? Why aim for the middle? Why strive for mediocrity?

Well, you probably don't aim to be mediocre, but perhaps a series of compromises ultimately lands you there. If you were true to your brand and true to your ideals, you'd be unique and different.

"Be yourself – not your idea of what you think somebody else’s idea of yourself should be."

– Henry David Thoreau
