Standout Business Show — Video Marketing, Personal Branding & Content Marketing Strategy for Your Expert Business

Standout Business Show — Video Marketing, Personal Branding & Content Marketing Strategy for Your Expert Business

The internet doesn’t reward expertise. It rewards noise. 😱 That’s why so many real experts stay hidden online while the loudest, less experienced voices grab all the attention. 🫠 The usual fixes, posting more, chasing trends, outsourcing your voice, only make you blend in, not stand out. You don’t need more content, you need more trust. And the best way to earn it is by turning your lived expertise into authentic, relatable video that makes you the most known & trusted authority in your field. ❌ This is not a podcast about how to grow your social media following. ❌ This is not a podcast about becoming a content creator. ❌ This is not a podcast about hacking the algorithm. It's a show for expert entrepreneurs who want to: ✅ Build trust without becoming a performing monkey on TikTok. ✅ Share their ideas without sounding like everyone else. ✅ Turn their lived experience into their greatest marketing asset. If you’re an expert entrepreneur who wants to be seen as the go-to authority, without chasing trends or becoming a content creator, this show is for you. Every week, I’ll show you how to turn your lived experience into trust-building video that feels real, effortless, and impossible to ignore. I’m Brad Powell, and this is The Standout Business Show. Let’s put your voice where it belongs: front and center. Hosted by Brad Powell Video branding architect + creator of The Standout Expert System™ & The Mic Drop Flywheel™ — helping experts turn everyday conversations into high-authority, trust-building content.

There’s one question I hear from nearly every expert I work with: “Does video really work and will it actually get me clients?”

This week, I got the best possible answer. My most recent new client had booked a call with me after binge watching a few of my videos.

By the time we were talking, most of the stuff around ice breaking 
and building familiarity and building trust and, more importantly,

🚗 A dead car battery. No phone. And an unexpected lesson in branding.

This week, something happened to my girlfriend that reminded me why some brands stick in your mind… while others fade into the noise.

Here’s what I mean:

Your brand doesn’t stand out because of your logo, your colors, or even your marketing funnel.

It stands out because of how it makes people feel.

And in this episode...

You’ve heard the advice a thousand times:
Post daily. Be everywhere. Make more content. Stay “top of mind.”

The internet’s louder than ever.

But real experts — the ones who’ve built trust, results, and reputation offline — are getting drowned out by the content machine.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I know I’m great at what I do. But online? I feel invisible… or like I have to perform to be seen.”

This new season of The Standout Business Show is for you.

We’ve all heard it:

If you want to stand out, you can’t follow the rules of mainstream marketing. 

We’ve all been told that you need to be a more polished, performative, camera ready version of yourself… before you can show up.

I think that’s wrong—and I’m going to show you why. You don’t need to be “camera ready” to start showing up, you need a new way to be seen.

Before anyone buys from you, they need to believe.

Not just in your offer—but in themselves, their problem, the possibility of change, and the method you use to get them there.

That’s the idea behind the Chain of Beliefs—a simple but powerful framework that can turn your videos, your content, and your messaging into a client-converting machine.

When the economy gets shaky, most business owners go into hiding — cutting back, pulling in, and hoping to ride it out.

But here's the thing about holding back:
 👉 Shrinking is a choice. And right now, it’s the riskiest one you can make.

Instead of retreating, this is your moment to stand out — to get visible, build trust, and become the expert your audience turns to.
