What Leo did
Find the moments that stand alone
The talk was cut into short sections that each make sense on their own, so a viewer needs no context.
One idea per clip
Each clip opens on a line in Eric’s own words and stays on a single idea.
Make it work without sound
Word-by-word captions, his name on screen, and motion-graphic cards like “See. Choose. Act.” carry the idea on mute.
Post, then keep posting
Posting automatically since August, alongside podcast guest pitching built on the same story.
“It’s really, really helpful to me in ways that I don’t know how to help myself.”
