In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) walks through six reasons why you might want to think twice before sprinkling pop culture references throughout your thought leadership content:

1. You're prematurely helping your content go stale

2. There's no guarantee your audience will know what you're talking about

3. Pop culture references could damage your credibility and make your audience members question your professionalism

4. You'll almost certainly alienate some members of your audience

5. Pop culture references can show a lack of awareness on your part regarding social issues and how people feel about them

6. Pop culture references can distract your audience from absorbing your knowledge, wisdom, and insights
