The concept in the post is something I've observed in my own life and the lives of others. The article highlights that it's just not "doing" but doing something you are "passionate" about. I get a little stuck on that word because it evokes the "follow your passions" type of advice which can be taken the wrong way. Here I think the key is it's not just "doing" anything but rather something you care enough about to at least try to do well. In other words, you're putting attention and energy into it. This tends to be something others notice because it's authentic.
The other thing which seems to elevate outcomes in this context is not just "telling" people as measured by quantity but also by quality. Just sharing with large numbers of people may work but trying to share with those who also "do" things will reach those most likely to care about what you're doing, the way you're doing it or even just that you're "doing" things with genuine personal investment. When I see that, it usually stands out and I'm much more likely to want to engage with that person.
