The Secret Weapon: Why Character (Not Structure) Wins Content – Episode 23


Listen Later

Welcome back! I'm Jonathan Saar, and this week I'm broadcasting from the cool, character-filled streets of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It got me thinking: does your content have character? We often get so structured and stiff that we kill the authenticity that actually connects with an audience. If the algorithms punish scripted content, why are we still so formal? In this quick episode, I dive into how embracing your unique character—your brand's passion and vision—is the only way to build a real audience. Don't be stiff; build character!
