It’s called the Medici Effect and it has the power to reshape how you approach your blogging. Coined by Frans Johansson, The Medici Effect offers a clear path to combining unrelated topics into a sure-fire recipe for a quantum leap in your content’s impact and stickiness.

Plus we’ll tackle…
- How to achieve balance with your social media activities and not burn yourself out chasing the elusive “engagement” holy grail
- Where to find inspiration “outside” your niche.
- How to detect “procrastination” in disguise
Go ahead and dive in!

Hey Stanford, really great podcast! I haven’t read the Medici Effect, but I’m a huge fan of Leonardo da Vinci, and I really appreciated the example. You’re right – it’s really valuable to stretch out of your comfort zone, and being exposed to new ideas is the best way to have every more of them. Rock on, Stanford!
