Jan 9, 2026 | Brand

My podcast keeps me sane

I know your time is valuable. These show notes give you the gist of the episode, what is covered, any links or resources talked about in the show, and also gives you a few ways to listen, watch or digest this episode.

This episode’s topic, in a nutshell…

This is a fluid conversation which we’ve divided into three parts covering:

  1. how it all started,
  2. how it’s going now, and then
  3. what the future holds for the show.

 

Highlights

In this episode we unpack:

  • The reason I started the show and the concept I launched with back in Sept 2022
  • Specific ‘pivotal’ junctures where I shifted my angle or thinking on how to next tackle the types of conversations I was having.
  • At what point I felt compelled to double down on personal branding, as opposed to business brand strategy
  • The event that spurred the importance of sharing your personal stories to better resonate and connect with people about your work.
  • What I enjoy about having my show
  • Where I think I want to go next
