Why I Love An Unpopular Opinion

Image text: Why I love an unpopular opinionImage text: An unpopular opinion makes us feel like free thinkers. It reassures us that we're not zombies, that we can embrace our own response to a piece of pop culture...Image text: ...even if that response deviates from what "most people think."Image text: Also, unpopular opinion threads make us laugh, because they represent those tiny little beautiful specs that make us human.Image text: By magnifying something so ultra-specific, we're actually speaking universal truths to each other...Image text: We may all like & dislike different things, but we still share the capacity to like & dislike.Image text: It's a reminder that we're more alike than different. Plus, it's a welcome bit of lighthearted fun.Image text: Let's go! Share your unpopular opinions below. I'll start...

My #1 unpopular opinion has got to be that I don’t like Fleetwood Mac. I mean, I totally get why *people* like Fleetwood Mac… just… yeah, I don’t. I live for the moments when I’m all by myself and I get to skip “Landslide” without having to explain myself. (I don’t hate “Everywhere” I guess. Or “Tusk.”)

Ewan McGregor is overrated as an actor.

“Save The Last Dance” is a great movie, and Julia Stiles is a national treasure. CHANGE MY MIND.

Emails for cult thought leaders.

(Personality included.)

Want to learn how to craft emails that inspire action and engagement WITHOUT the “tried and true” (cough: patriarchal) norms we’ve all been taught?

I’m doing it, and I can show you how to do it, too.

(But sometimes, I also like to write about the books I’m reading, or the creative process, or the entrepreneurial experience, or why I hate Steve Jobs, or how I met my BFF. I’ll send you emails like that, too.)
