🌴127. One-take wonder


In this episode, I’m reflecting on a phrase that popped into my head while driving here: How do you become a One Take Wonder?
You know, the kind of person who can just hit record and go — no second takes, no overthinking, just clarity, energy, and good-enough delivery.
Here’s what I unpack:
- Why being a little messy on video is actually your advantage in an AI-perfect world
- What a Hong Kong participant told me that changed the way I think about "stuff-ups"
- Why scripting your videos is a trap (and what to do instead)
- Tools I use (like Descript) to keep my flow while still cleaning up the final product
- How to build your one-take muscle without needing hours of practice
- And the secret trick: Holding your phone up until your arm starts hurting 💪
This one’s for anyone who wants to be more visible without the drama of “doing it right.”
Thanks for listening and I’ll catch you tomorrow — one take at a time!
