What Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore taught me about content creation

Want to learn how to edit your own content using Descript? https://www.bambyacademy.com/learndescript After recently watching Happy Gilmore for probably the twentieth time, it got me thinking about how we present ourselves as creators. I found myself reflecting quite existentially on the impact that Adam Sandler’s character had on my view of where the world of content creation currently sits. And I honestly think it’s all a little boring. Overwhelmingly people are presenting as the “professional” version of themselves, especially on LinkedIn. This makes sense as we predominantly put out content to draw the viewer/listener into ultimately buying something from us. We present as the authority. We present as a leader. But are we showing enough of ourselves to keep our content interesting? In this episode, I go through a few key lessons I learned from Happy Gilmore about content creation.
