No one important


Angles
You are not "no one important."
A young woman I was sitting next to was introduced to a "big name" in social media. She said her name, then she said, "no one important."

I interrupted and shared with the "big name" a few of the cool things the young woman had told me she does.

After the "big name" moved on, I couldn't hold it in any longer. "You will never introduce yourself that way again. Never." I told her how she would introduce herself, including one or two of the coolest things she was working on, things that would open lines for further conversation. I have no idea if she took that advice or not.

I don't care who you are, or whether you have a "big name" or not. You are not "no one important."
