It can be intimidating to approach a new subject and quickly glean enough of an understanding to turn it into content.
But in my work, being an outsider can be a huge advantage.
I have fresh eyes and an unbiased approach to the subject. I won't fall immediately into using industry jargon because I don't know it. If the content is meant to be educational, my awareness level will be closer to that of the audience - so I'll be able to recognise what makes sense and what goes over my head.
Sometimes the experts are the least equipped to write content on a topic if you want it to actually land with your audience. It's impossible to un-know what you know.
An outsider may be just what you need to strike the right balance.
