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 building behind closed doors.

Whether you’re on a call with a client, answering a common question, or sharing your take on something that matters — those real moments are your most valuable content assets.

And if you're thinking:
“I’m not sure I’m ready to be the face of my brand…”
“I don’t have time to create new content every day…”

This episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why scaling your content won’t help if you’re not scaling trust
• How to turn everyday conversations into powerful marketing assets
• Why you don’t need to be a performer — just a professional who listens well
• How expert entrepreneurs are earning attention without the content machine

🎯 Belief Shift:
You don’t need more content.
You need more conviction.
And the simplest way to build it — is to let people see you doing what you do best.

This is your permission to stop performing and start showing up.

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.

Zohran Mamdani didn’t have a massive budget, party backing, or name recognition. But he crushed his opponent—a former governor—by doing one thing most expert brands aren’t doing: earning attention instead of buying it.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why traditional visibility strategies are failing
• How to use short-form video the way it’s meant to work
• The power of platform-native storytelling (and how to apply it to your brand)
• The simplest format you can borrow from Mamdani’s campaign right now
• Why listening is the most underrated marketing strategy today

This isn’t about politics. It’s about learning how attention actually works today—and using that to position your expertise in a way that breaks through the noise.

🎙 Plus, hear the powerful “man-on-the-street” clip that helped turn Mamdani’s campaign into a viral movement—and how you can apply the same principle to your own message.

📍Whether you’re building your authority on LinkedIn or looking for your next high-value client, this episode will help you rethink the way you show up… and how to make people actually care.

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.”

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 controlled A/B tests across vertical, square, and horizontal video formats — and the results?
Let’s just say vertical isn’t the star of the show.

We’re diving into:

• The surprising format that outperformed all others (yes, even on mobile!)
• Why horizontal video might actually help you stand out as an expert on LinkedIn
• The design psychology and behavior cues that affect content performance
• How to repurpose your most valuable video content for maximum impact
• And why following video trends can sometimes damage your authority

If you’ve been stuck repurposing content in formats that aren’t delivering — or chasing trends that don’t align with how you want to show up — this episode is your permission to do things differently (and smarter).

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 myths holding expert entrepreneurs back from building visibility

—and revealing why being yourself might be the most powerful content strategy you’ve never fully embraced.

If you’ve ever said:

– “I’m not great on camera”

– “I don’t like how I look or sound”

– “I’m not sure I’m cut out for video”

…this episode will reframe everything.

We’ll talk about:

– The hidden belief holding most experts back from visibility

– Why scripting, prepping, and performing often make things worse

– How to unlock your real presence and turn it into magnetic video content

– The truth about where confidence really comes from (hint: it’s not perfection)

This is the shift from “I hope I’m doing this right” to “Oh wow, that’s me—and it works.”

If you're the best-kept secret in your industry, it's time to change that.

Because when you start showing up in your zone of genius—with clarity, confidence, and the right content—your ideal clients won't just notice you.

They'll choose you.
