How to communicate brilliant ideas

Most people dress up their ideas to make them sound more impressive. I prefer to strip them down until what’s left is undeniable.

Just like a diamond, a brilliant idea doesn’t need decoration.
It needs polish.

Strip away everything that doesn’t contribute meaning and then tell a true story about what’s left in the most plain and simple words you can find.

Keep lighting the path,
Michael
