You’ve probably heard a lot of people telling you that you need a personal brand but very few are showing you “how” you can build or strengthen one. It’s all well and good to say you need a thing but how do you do it? 🫤 That’s the question I’m answering for you in this episode. It’s simple. You want to become two things. Visible and referable. As we dive into the how of this, I want you to think through these questions: What do I uniquely create that adds extreme value to the people I serve? Am I creating this thing or...

Does it feel like everyone around you is moving fast and breaking things? We live in a hustle culture where many have the “if it’s bigger, faster, and flashier, then it’s always better” mentality. Only in recent years have I begun to see a broader cultural shift toward slower and more intentional living. I can personally attest that it’s the “winning” way. During these first 100 episodes of the podcast, I’ve learned to embrace the way of the turtle. I’ve learned to resist the urge to compare and instead delight fully in my own...
