If you’ve been hiding online, overthinking your niche, or waiting to feel “ready”… this episode is your wake-up call.
I sat down with Courtney Johnson to talk about personal branding, visibility, LinkedIn, content creation, cringe, confidence, and what it actually takes to create opportunities that come TO you instead of constantly chasing them.
This conversation lit a fire under me — and I think it will for you too.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why personal branding has nothing to do with being “famous”
- The concept of creating an “inbound life”
- Why posting about only ONE thing makes your content forgettable
- How to stop overthinking your niche
- The real reason most people stay invisible online
- Why LinkedIn is massively underrated right now
- The power of podcasting for networking and opportunities
- Using pain, rejection, and rage as fuel instead of hiding from it
- How to know if something is truly a boundary… or just fear
- The mindset shifts behind wealth creation and visibility
This episode felt like one giant permission slip to stop self-editing and start showing up fully.
Because the opportunities you want? They usually don’t come from hiding.
