Personal branding looks easy from the outside. Just be yourself, show up, and let your personality do the work. Then the camera turns on, and suddenly it's not so simple anymore.

Amy Landino never set out to become a personal branding expert. Back in 2007, she just wanted to make a nice wedding video for a friend. But something about that experience stuck with her.

That one video turned into a YouTube channel. The channel turned into a business. And the business eventually became two seven-figure media companies and a global audience in over 100 countries.

In about 40 minutes, Amy walks us through what she learned from every pivot in her journey and the strategies she uses today to turn content into clients.

"If I believe in it first, everybody else will get on board." ~ Amy Landino

In This Episode:

- How a wedding video started it all

- Pivoting your brand without losing your audience

- Why the best content strategy is meeting people where they are

- Talking to your audience like they are already your clients

- How to use Instagram Stories to test content before going all in

- The BREAK formula for hooking viewers in the first 30 seconds

- How to market a book by borrowing other people's audiences

Most people have stood up and spoken in front of a crowd at least once. But turning that into a career, or even a paycheck, is something most speakers never figure out.

I brought in Zach Nadler, Co-Founder and CEO of VaynerSpeakers, because he knows exactly how this industry works, and he held nothing back.

We got into what event planners actually look for, how to build a reel that opens doors, what your speaking fee should really be, and why LinkedIn might be the most underrated tool speakers are not using. If you want to get on stages and get paid to be there, this one is for you.

If writing a book has been on your someday list forever, this one's for you.

I brought in Chandler Bolt, CEO of selfpublishing.com and author of 7 bestselling books, because honestly, I had questions. I traditionally published my own book, and I still wasn't sure I made the right call.

Chandler has built an eight-figure business almost entirely off books, with zero social media until five months ago. So if you've ever thought about writing a book, or you have one and you're not squeezing everything out of it, you're going to want to stick around for this one.

The fastest way to grow your influence is not better networking. It’s building real connections that build trust, open doors, and create opportunities you do not have to chase. In this week’s episode, I sit down with Barb Betts, keynote speaker and human connection expert, to talk about this and more.

Barb also addresses people-pleasing, how to follow up without sounding awkward, and building meaningful relationships in life and business. If you want to grow your personal brand and build deeper connections without feeling fake, this conversation will show you how.

"It's not about how many people you know, it's about how many people feel known by you." ~ Barb Betts
