Neel Dhingra’s Brutal Truth About Building a Brand in Public

Want Some "Not Nice Advice" Send Us A Text!

If you’ve ever waited to hit “post” until things felt perfect, this one’s for you.

In this episode, Candice sits down with Neel Dhingra—founder of Forward Academy and the powerhouse behind the Forward Conference—to talk about building your personal brand in public (awkward phases and all). From his early metal band days (yes, seriously) to hosting industry-shifting events that have included powerhouses like Ed Mylett and Chris Do, Neel shares why playing small to avoid embarrassment is costing you big.

We’re unpacking:
 → Why your “cringe” moments are actually your credibility builders
 → The secret sauce behind high-impact events that don’t feel like snooze-fests
→ How to stop asking “what if it flops?” and start betting on yourself like a boss

This convo is your permission slip to create before you feel ready, lean into what actually lights you up, and build something that’s so you it couldn’t possibly be anyone else’s.
