Listening, *really* listening, is a rare superpower. I was a bad listener most of my life. Then I fixed that a few years ago. Night & day difference in my leadership ability. I learned that we can learn to listen well. A thread on listening (and learning it from movies🎞️) 👇🏾

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Turn → Context → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Turn → Context → Context → Landing
Style: Short lines with heavy white space, built to be scanned.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators
