Strong feelings such as joy, fear, pride, nostalgia drive decisions more than facts ever will.

Examples in Content
- LinkedIn: “I cried when the first client said yes. Here’s why it mattered so much.”
- Instagram reel: Founder story showing vulnerability.
- Email subject line: “Why I almost quit last year.”
