When it comes to writing, everyone has their own advice to share.

From writing consistently to quality trumps quantity, a lot of it rings true but not enough to warrant any “aha moments”.

Enter: Michael Thompson, top Medium writer and career coach.

His insightful video interview for Story 2021, a two-week Digital Content Masterclass Series organized by Sean Smith, left me inspired and motivated to share his actionable advice.

In a sea of personal growth gurus promising life transformations, Michael goes against the grain by opening up about his challenges and speaking his truth on Medium without the hard sell.

Reaching his fourth year as a Medium writer, several of his articles have gone viral and have been featured on Forbes, Fast Company & Co and Business Insider.

Successes for which he’s still reaping the benefits to this day.

With an honest and down to earth approach, he leverages the power of raw storytelling and empathy to connect with readers.
