How to be a Thought Leader

Special Guest: Mitchell Levy

 

In this episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I’m joined by the brilliant Mitchell Levy—TEDx speaker, international bestselling author, and the mind behind over 60 books and 20 companies. He’s a powerhouse in the world of credibility and social selling, and he doesn’t hold back in this conversation.

We dive deep into how coaches, consultants, and thought leaders can ditch the slimy sales tactics and use LinkedIn and podcasting to grow their business with authenticity.

Mitchell reminds us that visibility without trust is just noise. The real magic happens when you build relationships, create micro-commitments, and lead people into genuine conversations. Whether that’s through a podcast, a Zoom call, or a birthday message in the DMs, your goal isn’t just to “sell”—it’s to be seen, heard, and remembered.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• I learned that LinkedIn is not about likes and comments—it’s about starting real conversations that lead to referrals, relationships, and business.
• Mitchell showed how just one thoughtful weekly post is often more effective than five daily ones—consistency > quantity.
• We talked about overcoming the fear of DMs—they’re not slimy when they’re intentional, kind, and human.
• I love Mitchell’s concept of becoming a "Community Superhero"—being so clear and visible in what you do that others naturally refer you.
• He introduced the idea of a CPOP (Customer Point of Possibility)—a concise statement of your purpose in under 10 words that acts as your messaging compass.
• He shared how tools like Substack and even custom AI chatbots can help streamline content and empower your team to amplify your voice.

If you’ve been relying on ego metrics or feel overwhelmed by LinkedIn, this episode is your permission slip to simplify and reconnect with purpose.
