Apparently, it’s very easy to become an industry influencer with no experience in that industry. Here are the steps:

1. Identify where an industry’s insiders all sound the same. That sameness is your opening.
2. Frame your thesis as the thing everyone should have noticed but didn’t because they’re too deep in their own bubble.
3. Show just enough data to make your stance feel inevitable.
4. Turn every pushback into proof that the insiders are protecting comfort over clarity.

The only real prerequisite is the confidence to stroll into a room full of experts, flip their table, and say, “Relax, boys—I’ll explain your own industry to you.”
