He shares his own experience of writing a book and how the process of teaching through writing helped him become more familiar with his ideas.

Kyle encourages listeners to start teaching what they know to become true masters of their craft.
In This Episode We Discuss
Teaching through writing or speaking helps you become more familiar with your ideas and improves your mastery of your craft. The process of teaching challenges your ideas, clarifies your thoughts, and allows you to reflect and improve upon them. Teaching not only benefits others but also sharpens your own thinking and allows you to scale your processes. Resistance and self-doubt are signs that you are on the right path, and pushing through them leads to growth and rewards.

The Authority Paradox
SummaryThe authority paradox is the more you try to prove your credibility, the less credible you appear. Proving credibility often involves teaching as much as possible and listing certifications, but this can be distracting and overwhelming for the audience. Focusing on yourself instead of your audience hurts your connection with them. Instead of teaching all the details, focus on shifting belief patterns. Teaching to shift beliefs requires empathy and understanding of your clients. Using client stories and strategizing what to teach can inspire action and create credibility.
In This Episode We Discuss The more you try to prove your credibility, the less credible you appear. Focusing on yourself instead of your audience hurts your connection with them.
