We know Marco Polo's name because he wrote about it.
He didn't say, now that I am the person who discovered this and I am the foremost expert on the Silk Road to China, I will write about it from my place of expertise.
No, he was just the one to document it.
Same thing with Paul Revere and the famous lanterns where the British are coming, all of that.

And so that's why we know who he is.
And so you don't take this approach of saying, oh, I have to be an expert and then I'll teach.
No, you say, okay, I'm going to teach everything that I know.
If I learned something last week, I'm going to teach it.

I followed their tutorials step by step and I could not figure it out.
And then I came across this tutorial from someone who was a beginner and said, hey, here's how I did it as a beginner.
And something that was so obvious to the experts that they'd skipped over, the beginner was like, hey, this part really matters.
I got stuck on it.
I was like, thank you so much.
