The Four Gates of Speech is a framework/philosophy for communication attributed to Rumi. A concept coming from the Sufi mystic tradition, it's a filtering system for your words to ensure: wise, intentional, and kind communication.

In this episode, I apply this concept to content creation and what you're sharing in your marketing.

Communication is KEY in this episode, as we dive into:

The Four Gates of Speech: True, Necessary, Kind, the Right Timing
Why ensuring what you're sharing is true is more important than ever
Asking why before you post
How to be kinder in your marketing
Ideas for determining when to hold em' and when to fold em'
And more!

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.” Hans Hofmann
