Club Success 365 (on Substack.com) Anthony Bourdain was an original, a creator who bucked the network’s push for sameness, for the safety of a tried-and-true travel show formulaic approach. He’s known for his two most successful series, No Reservations and Parts Unknown. In comparison, Rick Steves did a good job introducing his Rick Steves’ Europe travel show, utilizing his predictable approach, though his persona carried the day, making his debut via the American Public Television, and running for 13 seasons, with 157 episodes, on public television. Regardless, both men, with completely different styles, found their respective audience. Key Takeaway: Take some risks, stand out, or simply fade into the rest of the noise. (And oftentimes, your key differentiating feature is your authentic, unique personality.) https://lnkd.in/gNAAi5_h
