Point of view is what connects your content to your people. Inviting people into your personal lived experience while providing space for theirs to breathe allows both sides to appreciate the other. Authentic content hits that sweet spot - the intersection of what we share, where we’re similar, and where our experiences diverge - every time. It allows both creator and audience to agree and, perhaps more importantly, how to disagree in a way that keeps the dialogue going.

Award-winning spoken word poet Jon Goode joins Erica to discuss and demonstrate strategies for utilizing lived experience, creative narrative, and humor to foster a stronger connection - even in moments of dissent - with your audience.
