01 - 4 Lessons From Building a 6-Figure Personal Brand
Maggie and Ryan Sterling kick off The Authentic Business with the story behind the brand — nine years of building, burning down, and rebuilding online businesses across multiple niches, platforms, and audiences. This isn't a polished origin story. It's an honest look at what it actually takes to grow a personal brand that lasts, and the four lessons Maggie wishes someone had told her from the start. Maggie shares how she went from posting food on Instagram in 2017 to building a 700-member coaching membership, walking away from it at the height of its success, and growing a brand new YouTube channel to 42,000 subscribers in six months. Ryan and Maggie break down the four biggest lessons from that journey — and why most of what you've been taught about growing online is making you hate the whole thing.
