...but there is SOME value in the Personal Brand approach (as alluded to). It's *working* for the Personality People. Is there a *substance with flare* balance to take advantage of, as An Expert, though? That'd be my Internal Question. You know, the whole "We play with the toys the gods give us" Thing. [Odysseus to Achilles, Troy (movie)]

Without being All-or-Nothing, Some Experts may be able to stand-out by taking advantage of being a little comedic, or flamboyant, or something...here and there. How say you?

That’s a good point Maurice and experts can certainly channel both! I guess my main point is that it matters more the perspective you have rather than how boisterous or quietly you deliver it. Plus, some people just aren’t keen on the whole influencer aesthetic or “act”.💪❤️

Thank you. This has cleared up a lot of thinking about my writing. I have stopped writing on platforms for a few months because I am tired of people using them as dating site. If I wanted that I would go on old farts looking for dates.com not Substack.
