Saturday, 22nd June 2024: WE SERIOUSLY NEED TO BE MORE PROACTIVE ABOUT HELPING THE LESS PRIVILEGED! The passage, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me’ (Matthew 25:45 NKJV), reminds those of us who, because we have worked hard for what we have, tend to think we are entitled to only think of and provide for themselves that, if more people were like Thomas Barnardo who involved himself in the lives of the poor and homeless, built Homes that housed hundreds of homeless children, Centres for evangelistic and religious activities, and in the end, became one of the great Christian heroes of the 1800s, the world would be a much better place. In other words, we seriously need to be more proactive about helping the less privileged. So let the knowledge that: 1) One day, we will be held accountable for how we treated those around us who were hurting or in need; 2) In cases where innocent children are being maltreated, rather than turn away, we should take drastic measures to rescue them; and 3) In the end, the Lord Almighty, who sees all our good deeds, we reward us abundantly; teach you, if you really want to change the world, to start reaching out, touching lives and adding value!FG.

This is a great example of how brands of all kinds can be using authentic conversations to connect with their audience in an engaging way. Through her podcast, Stacy has figured out that sweet spot where her passions, skills, and audience needs converge. It reminds me of the Ikigai Framework which comes from a Japanese concept meaning “a reason for being”. Applied to content marketing, it can serve as a guide to help you produce content that’s not only fulfilling to create but also deeply resonates with your audience and drives your orgnazations mission and business forward. The key is finding the intersections between: 1. What you love (your brand’s passion), 2. What you are good at (your brand’s skills), 3. What the world needs (your audience’s needs), 4. What you can be paid for (content that drives revenue). At the end of the day you want a foundation for content that is not only impactful and engaging but also true to your brand’s identity and goals, ensuring every piece of content you create is a step toward fulfilling your brand’s purpose.
