Code is one kind of leverage.
Media is another.
And ignoring that doesnโt make you noble...
It makes you silent.
The Trojans learned that the hard way.
Hector had strength. He had honor. He had vision.
But he stayed behind the walls, hoping the kingdom would listen to reason.

Now let the friction become your platform.
Take the obstacle โ leverage it โ shape your narrative.
Iโm done being quiet.
๐ฃ Strategy over shame
๐ฃ Leverage over labor
