When should you feel qualified to talk about something?

[Staples]

Hey internet friends...

I have revisited Leo's Integrity video as I am working on making the content I produce for my business more truthful and honest. The biggest gripe I have with most business influencers, thought leaders and marketers is their obvious lack of integrity, and a failure to practice what they preach. 

I want to discuss business concepts from a spiral stage yellow or above perspective, however I often now find myself doubting whether what I have to say is accurate or true enough. I can confidently say that it is often of higher quality than a lot of what I see out there, but I want to create a criteria I can check it against to verify that what I say is free of bias and going to be effective for others.

I have written an integrity statement that outlines all the things I will or will not do when I talk publicly on business topics. I won't share that here, it's basically what Leo has said plus some personal values that I refuse to violate.

What I have so far is:

• I have verified that what I want to say and talk about does not violate my integrity statement.
• I have made a genuine attempt at communicating truthfully and fully, without obscurity.
• I will wear on my sleeve why I create content and what it does for me.
• I will not waste my audience's time with filler content.

@Leo Gura Do you have a criteria or set of values you review before speaking on a new topic, such that you feel qualified and can speak with authority?

Does anyone else here make content and do a similar exercise?
