Transcript

00:00No one will read your policy papers, best case, a sound bite will go viral once a year.

00:06Meanwhile, your face will appear in the media an average of 12,000 times a day.

00:10Every classroom in America, every embassy in the world will hang your picture on the wall.

00:15It's soft power.

00:17So, you've got a couple of choices.

00:19Wear a suit, like the military wears a uniform.

00:22Disappear, hide the individual behind the duty to serve.

00:27Or get a gimmick.

00:28Blonde bob, red lipstick, pins like Albright, collars like RBG, glasses.

01:15Oh, yes, I had a zipper issue.

01:19When you're a second-tier diplomat in a third-world war zone, that may read as scrappy.

01:24If you're representing the interests of 300 million Americans whose health care is failing,

01:29whose planet is burning, whose future might get a little bit better or a little bit worse

01:33based on what you do in the course of a day,
