What happens when your biggest video brings the wrong audience? In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, content creator Jamison Lange joins host Charles Turtz to explore the emotional highs and hidden costs of building a personal brand online. From the loneliness of being a solo creator to the pressure to perform for algorithms, Jamison opens up about the internal battle between being seen and staying true.
Together, they examine the tension between vulnerability and visibility, the evolution of content creation, and the healing power of authentic connection. For anyone navigating life on or off social media—especially creators, entrepreneurs, and those rebuilding their sense of self—this episode offers perspective, hope, and permission to be real.
If you’ve ever questioned your worth, struggled to pivot creatively, or felt unseen despite being “online,” this conversation is for you.
Key Takeaways:
Authenticity matters more than virality – Jamison reveals why going viral was more isolating than validating and how staying true to himself helped rebuild his community.
Being a creator can be lonely – Behind the curated content lies the reality of filming, editing, and posting alone. Jamison discusses how this solitude affects mental health.
Vulnerability requires courage – Both Jamison and Charles reflect on the fear of being seen—and rejected—for who they truly are.
Not all advice is equal – The episode explores how to decide which feedback to trust, especially when it comes from people who may not understand your vision.
Healing starts with self-reflection – From recognizing trauma responses to setting boundaries around content, Jamison shares how inner work shapes his creative choices.
