You're good at it.

One way is through writing.
Another is random chance. Last farmer's market, I got into a conversation with a baker. She mentioned that she doesn't do sourdough but is curious about it. So I talked a bit about pros and cons, suggested starting with a reliable culture and then experimenting with wild ones. She didn't know, for instance, that the white bloom on grapes is yeast and can be cultured. Just a random encounter, but it was fun for both of us, and maybe she'll decide to pursue sourdough eventually.
I'm an information dispensary. I just give off information like other people give off body heat.
