Today you introduce yourself. Not your credentials. You.
(Video Coming Soon)
You can learn where someone went to school, how long they have worked in an industry, which certificates they earned, and what services they offer without feeling any closer to them after hearing it. Then they mention one oddly specific story, an unexpected job they once had, the moment they became obsessed with a subject, or a reason they care about their work that you never would have guessed, and suddenly they feel real.
That is closer to what The Introduction is trying to create. Your script is choosing enough context to help the right viewer understand where you came from, what shaped you, and why you care about the ideas they are going to hear from you later.
Yesterday's Declaration created curiosity, although curiosity by itself does not last very long. The person watching still has to decide whether there is a human being here they want to spend more time with, which is why The Introduction follows the Declaration instead of opening the whole sequence.
Once they understand a little more about you, the stronger ideas later in the sequence have a person behind them rather than appearing from a stranger who suddenly showed up on their screen with an opinion. The sequence is quietly building context before asking the audience to carry more weight.
Gives someone a reason to notice that something has started and wonder where it goes.
Gives that curiosity a real human being to attach itself to before the sequence asks the audience for more.
“My story isn't interesting enough.”
It is easy to compare your ordinary life to polished stories that have been retold for years and decide that your own background does not contain enough drama. The Introduction is not asking you to manufacture an origin story that never happened.
A strange job you once had, a small decision that sent you in a new direction, the reason you became interested in a subject, or a detail you almost leave out can help someone understand you much faster than another credential ever could.
Very often, the details that feel ordinary from inside your own life are exactly the details that make you easier for another person to remember.
During the interview, you gave SeenInSeven more material than could ever fit inside one short video, which is exactly what we wanted. The useful part is deciding which small piece of your story belongs here, while leaving room for everything the later videos still need to do.
That is why a detail that seems almost insignificant to you may have earned a place in today's script. SeenInSeven is choosing what helps someone understand you now while keeping the rest of the seven-video story connected.
Open SeenInSeven, pull up The Introduction, and read it aloud before you start changing anything.
Open SeenInSevenYour Challenge Pass gives you SeenInSeven and the complete seven-video sequence, built around your own stories, ideas, experience, and voice.
Read Video 2: The Introduction aloud once before you record. Pay attention to any detail that surprises you, especially if your first reaction is wondering why something so ordinary made it into the script.
Give that detail a chance before deleting it. If the wording genuinely sounds unlike you, change the wording while keeping the meaning intact. Once the script feels natural in your mouth, record the video and post it wherever you are building visibility.
There is no prize for making Video 2 appear on the date printed at the top of this page. If The Declaration is still unfinished, make that video first and come back here afterward.
The Introduction works better once the audience has already seen you begin, which is one more reason this challenge follows a sequence rather than a collection of unrelated prompts.
Keep the order, even when you change the pace.
Sometimes a script can be technically accurate and still sound strange when it comes out of your mouth, which is useful information rather than a reason to throw the whole process away. Send me the line that feels wrong and tell me how you would normally say it.
If the problem has moved somewhere else, send me that instead. Maybe recording is easy and posting is where you freeze. Maybe your setup is frustrating you, or you have started questioning which platform you should use. Those are all workable problems once I know they exist.
If you have not booked your 15 to 30 minute Midweek Momentum Meeting yet, get that onto the calendar too. By the middle of this sequence, you will have enough experience with the process to know which obstacle is actually worth using our time on.
The first two videos helped someone notice you and begin understanding who you are. Tomorrow, you give them a reason to remember something you said.
Video 3 is built around a very different kind of moment, where the viewer sees an idea they thought they understood and suddenly looks at it from another angle. That is where this sequence starts getting really interesting.
