Where each story does its work
Press, podcasts, and panels can really only use two of your stories, Origin and Impact, because journalists need people and outcomes. And what they need most is the line, the six-second version, because journalists work in quotation, and a story without a quotable compression will be compressed for you, usually badly.

Social platforms are where the system pays compound interest. Each deep version is a quarry that yields dozens of small pieces, the scene, the insight, the line, the lesson, the question.
