The trick to making a story matter is that every now and then, somebody you care about has to go. If it's somebody that you don't care about, then it doesn't really have - the stakes aren't there. But if you do that every now and then, then the story matters to people. And there are actual stakes involved, emotional stakes. ↗

Having a track record to live up to and the history of successes had become a hindrance. It becomes harder to break out of what people expect you to do. ↗
