Sonia Simone says, “Funny thing — you can ask for people’s favorite words of advice, and you’ll get a decent number of answers.

In this 21-minute episode, I talk about:

  • Why it’s a terrible idea to dumb down your content
  • My suggestion — that you might find extremely dumb — for reframing a piece of content”.
