If you’re an expert entrepreneur or service-based business owner, here’s the Mic Drop Truth:
People don’t buy from the best brand. They buy from the brand they trust.

This week we’re diving into the one marketing skill most expert businesses are still ignoring…

👉 And it’s not ads. 

👉 It’s not shouting louder or going viral. 

It’s showing up in a way that others won't on video so you become the most known and trusted brand in your field.

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I sit down with bestselling author and trust-building trailblazer Marcus Sheridan—the author of They Ask, You A...

What if the thing you’re avoiding on camera… is exactly what your audience needs to see?

In this episode, I’m unpacking the one skill most expert entrepreneurs overlook when they’re trying to be “good on video.”
And to start? We’re looking at Mel Robbins—no makeup, no script, no production. Just presence.
And over a million people watched.

Because being polished isn’t what builds trust.
Being relatable...

You don’t need to go viral.

You don’t need a trending sound, a big production budget, or a complicated funnel strategy.

Because the most powerful way to grow demand for your business?

👉 It’s one honest, human conversation at a time.

In this episode, I’ll show you why trust, not reach, is the foundation of a standout personal brand — and how short-form video can amplify the trust you’re already b...

What if the real reason your content isn’t landing has nothing to do with the algorithm—and everything to do with how you’re showing up?

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, we break down the attention revolution happening right now—and what expert entrepreneurs can learn from a surprising source: a grassroots political campaign in New York City.

If your content isn’t getting traction—if you’re posting regularly but still feel invisible—this episode is for you.

Please Note: This opens with me showing an 8mm home movie clip sharing a childhood hockey story that perfectly captures the chaos of today’s content marketing landscape: everyone chasing the same puck, saying the same thing, and getting nowhere. 

You've got to watch the video version on youtube to fully appreciate...

Feeling invisible online—even though you’re damn good at what you do?

You’re not alone.

This episode is for the expert entrepreneur who’s tired of performative marketing, tired of chasing trends, and tired of trying to look the part instead of just being who they already are.

Because here’s the truth nobody’s saying:
👉 More content doesn’t mean more trust.
👉 You don’t need to perform to be seen.
👉 Your expertise is en...

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

But here’s the truth:
Posting more won’t make you more visible.
It’ll make you more exhausted.

In this kickoff episode of the new season of The Standout Business Show, we’re busting ...

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.

In this kickoff episode, I’m sharing:
 ✅ Why I’m shifting the show’s focus this seaso...

We’ve all heard it:

“Vertical video performs best on mobile.”
 “More screen space = more attention.”
 “That’s what everyone’s doing on TikTok, so it must work on LinkedIn too... right?”

Well, not so fast.

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I’m breaking down a $140,000 ad experiment that might completely flip your video strategy on its head.

LinkedIn ad expert AJ Wilcox and video producer Chandler Quinton ran control...

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.

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, we're breaking down one of the biggest...

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.

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I’m pulling back the curtain and showing you...

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.

In this episode you’ll learn:

✅ Why downturns are actually...

What if the key to standing out wasn’t about doing things better than your competitors, but about focusing on what they’re not doing at all? 

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story from my college swimming days where trying too hard to beat the competition led me to make a costly mistake—and a crucial lesson in marketing strategy.

You’ll hear about reverse benchmarking, a concept from U.K. marketer Rory Sutherland, and how it ...

Are you stuck in the daily grind of "What should I post today?" In this solo episode, I share why I believe a short-form video series—not just random content—is the next big thing in building audience and authority.

Drawing inspiration from movie theater serials, Nas Daily, Pat Flynn’s latest YouTube experiment, and even the classic Will It Blend? videos, I break down how series-based content creates consistency, curiosity...

You’re exceptional at what you do.

Your clients get results.
You’ve put in the time, earned the expertise, built something real.

So why does it feel like you’re still getting overlooked?
Still chasing clients?
Still blending in?

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I’m breaking down:

5 Signs That You’re the Best at What You Do—But Still Getting Overlooked

Welcome to another episode of The Standout Business Show with your host, Brad Powell! In today’s episode, we’re uncovering the personal branding strategy for driving sales that you may already have in your arsenal—video. If you have a great service but aren’t seeing the sales you expect, the missing piece could be simpler than you think.

If you’ve ever followed the advice to “just connect with more people” in an attempt to grow your network—only to feel like you’re wasting time sending cold DMs and getting ghosted—you’re not alone.

I recently tested this strategy myself, reaching out to 20 new people per day on LinkedIn, and while I technically grew my email list by 1,000+ contacts, the quality of these connections? Pretty disappointing.

Here’s the hard truth: Most h...
