Chasing Depth Instead of Clicks (Why shallow content is killing your credibility)

The internet is drowning in clickbait. Everyone’s yelling louder, posting faster, and begging for engagement like it’s currency—which, in some ways, it is.
But here’s the problem: attention doesn’t equal trust. Virality doesn’t equal value.
We’re trading depth for dopamine. And it’s making writers lazy.Connect with me:https://www.jimhansenmedia.com
 

What I’ve Learned from Editing My Own Work (Painfully)

You sip your overpriced coffee, pound the keyboard like it owes you money, and when you finally hit that last period—you lean back, smug, thinking: I nailed it.
Then you read it the next morning.
And it sucks.

Your Title Is Everything. Not important. Not helpful. Everything.

Your title is everything.
Not important. Not helpful. Everything.
You have 1.5 seconds—on a good day—to grab someone’s attention. That’s shorter than an eye-roll on TikTok. And you blew it with “My Thoughts on Leadership.” Yawn. That’s not a title. That’s a nap in Arial 12pt.Connect with me:https://www.jimhansenmedia.com

Slow Words in a Fast World

In an age ruled by swipe-speed content, writing has become a race. A race for clicks, for views, for just enough attention before the next distraction hits. Tweets, reels, shorts—content is shrinking, and so, it seems, is our collective patience.Connect with me:jimhansenmedia.com

The Space Between Sentences

Most of what I write starts in silence.Not the dramatic kind—no candlelit desk or sweeping soundtrack—just regular silence. The kind that happens when the dishwasher hums, or when you pause mid-scroll and suddenly hear yourself breathing.Connect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-hansen-b67412169/

How to Make Big Ideas Feel Personal (and Small Moments Feel Universal)

The other night, I spent 45 minutes scrolling through Netflix, looking for something to watch. I wasn’t asking for much, just a show that was exciting but not stressful, funny but not silly, smart but not exhausting.

Quiet Leaders Series - Author Susan Cain

Let’s talk about Susan Cain.
She didn’t crash into the culture screaming. She slipped in quietly—and completely rewired how we think about power, personality, and what leadership looks like.
Her book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking didn’t just sell millions—it sparked a movement. She gave voice to a group that didn’t even know they were allowed to raise their hand. Not because they couldn’t—but because they’d been trained their whole lives not to.Connect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-hansen-b67412169/
