How baby unicorns protected me from misunderstanding a cab driver?

When Unexpected Voices Carry Wisdom

Last week, I was coming back from a storytelling workshop, and I was in a cab with a driver who was chatty.

I thought to myself, 'why not nourish my social needs and start a conversation with the cab driver?' A few months ago, I started a YouTube channel for my business. I have spent my days understanding YouTube and its way of working. In doing so, I've had to do considerable research for my channel to grow, and I ended up enjoying my time as a YouTuber, so I started a new channel on managing money called 'Managing Money 101'. Given that it is a brand new channel, I need audience insights. So, I thought to myself, 'Why not ask the cab driver about his YouTube habits?'

And, so I did.

When I asked the cab driver if he watches content about money on YouTube, he said that he does and that he watches content in Hindi (a regional language of India). Then, I asked him what content he would like to watch if I created content about money or becoming wealthy.

To which, he said slightly emotionally, 'I will watch the content you have proof for.'

I wanted to stop the conversation there itself, as I felt as though he had gotten disturbed by the topic of money.

However, suddenly, I felt my baby unicorn guide, Tea, speak to me. It told me to keep talking and to focus on the innocence in the message of the cab driver. It also caught my attention to the energy in the front seat. As an energetically sensitive person and a psychic, it is natural for me to feel and sense energy. When I sensed the energy next to the cab driver in the front seat, I realised that there was some vampire energy there, which was confusing my perception of the cab driver's response to my question.

Tea told me to keep speaking with him, as he had insightful suggestions.

I kept asking him about the type of thumbnails he'd like to see on a YouTube channel, the type of aesthetics he would appreciate as an audience, and what his language preferences were.

To which, he shared that overall, he would enjoy organic and natural content. That was an eye-opener for me, as I felt as though my unicorn guides were telling me to focus on extremely polished content. And honestly, I was stressed out about the quality of the asthetics of my videos, especially the way I looked in the videos or my outfit for the videos.

If it weren't for Tea, my baby unicorn guide, I would have ended the conversation with the cab driver immediately. I would have never be reminded that there is a section of audiences that doesn't care of the asthetics but about the content in itself.

I understand that Tea wanted to remind me that educating a set of audiences on social media doesn't require me to change myself. It only requires me to be as I am in my daily life, which doesn't require a fancy outfit, video editing, or even content.

In my experience with working with unicorns and baby unicorns, I've seen that as each month passes by, I am called on to shed off the layers that I thought were mine. I realise that I don't need to add more of someone else for me to be accepted by others.

Tea also reminded me that even though my content is in English, which isn't the first language of the cab driver, his suggestion could impact my content creation journey.

And it did.

Authenticity Matters More Than Perfection

This week, I created content, worrying less about my outfits, making mistakes in my speech, who would show up to consume my content, and how polished my video editing must be for me to publish content.

In doing so, I've gone from publishing 3-4 videos per week to 12 videos this week (and there is still a day's time for me to end my week).

And, I am assured that the cab driver's baby unicorn guide must have cooperated with him to share the suggestions with me.

As you can see, when we work with baby unicorns, they can not just create an impact at an individual level but also at a social level. Their impact surpasses our logic, human capacity to perceive how things tie together, and which human can help another human at a time of need.

I ended up paying a little more than he quoted for the cab ride. Now, looking at the changes in my week, I wonder if I underpaid him.

Now, I'd like to ask you, dear reader, what does my story bring up for you?
