Harnessing the Currency of Attention

Join the Court for $1/month: ko-fi.com/misterpmacd
I'm exploring the topic of attention and how it holds immense power in our lives. We discuss my personal experience with attention and how it has evolved from childhood to adulthood. I go on to highlight the views of high-level influencers like Gary Vee, Alex Hormozi, Andrew Tate, and Iman Gadzhi, who consider attention to be an essential and valuable currency.
The video delves into what makes attention so valuable, emphasizing how it fulfills three of the core human desires of being seen, known, and loved. Attention is considered a superpower that can be converted into something else, such as money or power, and can be given in exchange for informative, entertaining, or personal content.
I also discuss how attention can be a tool to gain influence, citing examples of KZreadrs who use their large audiences to promote products or services. However, attention can also be taken away, as demonstrated in the case of Andrew Tate, who lost access to social media platforms and was thereby cut off from a global scale of attention.
The video also provides insights into how to gain attention, highlighting the importance of providing an abundance of value to your content consumer, which leads to word-of-mouth marketing and influence. The speaker emphasizes that it is essential to have a reason for seeking attention and to offer something valuable that people are willing to exchange their attention for.
Finally, the video touches on the spiritual aspect of attention, discussing why humans value attention and how it relates to our desires for connection and purpose. I encourage you all to understand the power of attention and how to navigate the creator economy.

    Great video - it's also a status thing, Seth Godin talks about this - people don't buy exotic cars cause they necessarily like cars, they buy it for status! when providing extreme value for a customer, you increase their status. And when you increase their status, they gain more status by telling their friends about you and it's a continuous chain of value and status increase. But the key is to provide a service people will talk about.

    You’re very outspoken, brother! Watched your video about Alex Hormozi, now onto this one and I gotta say, despite me presumably being about your age, I imagine, I’m eating up your content here as powerful brain food; I’m happy to call you one of my many mentors I follow along listening to because you’re really adding value to my portfolio I’m assembling on my business journey. As someone who just opened up an LLC last year for real estate investing, listening to your content builds my character. So I wanna say thank you and best of luck to you on your journey! I hope it’s fruitful for you with wherever your endeavors lead you!

    It depends on what the startup is, do you have any sales experience? Learning that skill in your own business is an expensive one. Maybe get some sort of sales job first? But tell me more about what you want to do.

    Great question. I think the answer lies ‘not’ in the content itself but everything else. How do you interact with your audience in the comments? Or on twitter or LinkedIN? Do you answer DM’s? It’s more of a matter of being a real person to the real people of your audience.
