It's kind of surreal to see my little essay on rainbows and #pride as the lede feature on the Christian Century website! Here are some thoughts on the "Rainbow Wars." https://lnkd.in/exAv9t4X

He sounds really down-to-earth. I hope that he is. Fame and wealth do crazy things to people, those around them and, their lives. Sometimes. Especially to those who haven't found themselves before they find either one or both. https://lnkd.in/eHxnmnmC #DownToEarth #HumbleVibes #KeepingItReal #PerspectiveMatters #FameAndWealth #HumanNature #LifeChanges #CelebrityLife #Realness #GroundedMindset #WealthEffects #CelebrityCulture #TrueCharacter #FameChallenges #RealityCheck #GenuineIndividuals #AuthenticityWins #WealthImpact #HonestLiving #MaintainingValues #PublicPersona #RealityOfFame #BalancedLife #AuthenticLiving #WealthAndWellness #CelebrityStruggles #TrueToSelf #GenuineSoul #RealLifeStruggles #WealthInfluence

This is a great example of how brands of all kinds can be using authentic conversations to connect with their audience in an engaging way. Through her podcast, Stacy has figured out that sweet spot where her passions, skills, and audience needs converge. It reminds me of the Ikigai Framework which comes from a Japanese concept meaning “a reason for being”. Applied to content marketing, it can serve as a guide to help you produce content that’s not only fulfilling to create but also deeply resonates with your audience and drives your orgnazations mission and business forward. The key is finding the intersections between: 1. What you love (your brand’s passion), 2. What you are good at (your brand’s skills), 3. What the world needs (your audience’s needs), 4. What you can be paid for (content that drives revenue). At the end of the day you want a foundation for content that is not only impactful and engaging but also true to your brand’s identity and goals, ensuring every piece of content you create is a step toward fulfilling your brand’s purpose.

Today marks the anniversary of September 11, 2001—a day of tragedy, heroism, and unity that forever shaped the course of history. It's a moment in time we’ll never forget. The images, the emotions, the loss, and the remarkable courage displayed by so many are forever etched in our hearts and minds. As we reflect on this day, we honor the lives lost and those who sacrificed everything to save others. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger, the strangers who became heroes, and the families whose lives were forever altered. This day serves as a reminder that even in the face of unthinkable tragedy, the human spirit can rise. It's a call to never take our freedoms for granted and to always strive for unity, compassion, and resilience. Let us not only remember the events of 9/11 but also carry forward the lessons of strength, empathy, and community. We owe it to those we lost to continue building a future rooted in these values. #NeverForget #911Anniversary #Unity #Resilience #StrengthInAdversity #September11 #neverforget
