You Are The Brand – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In today’s episode, I get real about how my life hasn’t turned out the way I expected—and how that’s okay. I’ve spent a lot of time questioning the “standard” path of success and realizing that it’s not always the one we’re meant to walk. I

f you’ve ever felt like your life isn’t going as planned, or if you’ve wondered if you’re climbing the right mountain, this episode is for you. I’ll share how I came to embrace my unique journey and why not giving up, even when it’s hard, is the key to finding fulfillment.

• I talk about why it’s okay to let go of the idea of success that everyone else follows and how to create your own path.
• I share the moment when I met a mentor who helped me realize that the career I thought I wanted wasn’t the one for me.

• Learn why it’s crucial to invest in your personal growth, even when the results aren’t immediate.
• If you’ve ever felt lost or uncertain, I hope my story will encourage you to keep going and remind you that you’re not alone.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, feeling like you’re not measuring up, or just needing a little encouragement, this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s talk about what it really means to grow, learn, and create a future that feels right for you.

In this episode, Robby and I explore essential strategies for strengthening both business and personal relationships. We emphasize the importance of preparing for the "big five" challenges — death, disability, divorce, disagreement, and retirement — by having effective contingency plans in place. Drawing from the wisdom of mentor Marissa Nielsen and real-life examples, we underscore the value of trust, perseverance, and a supportive network when facing life's unpredictable challenges. 

Listeners can expect practical advice on creating a resilient business structure and nurturing meaningful partnerships, ensuring stability and continuity in times of adversity.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Strategies for overcoming the "big five" challenges in business partnerships.
• Importance of having robust contingency plans for unforeseen events in both personal and business contexts.
• The role of shared history, trust, and genuine collaboration in building resilient relationships.
• Utilizing sports analogies to emphasize perseverance, teamwork, and adaptability in relationships.
• Significance of assembling a supportive network and maintaining a "legacy binder" for effective crisis management.
• The balance between emotional empathy and professional responsibilities in partnerships.
• The value of choosing partners wisely and fostering collaborations that go beyond transactional relationships.

James Harrington is the founder of the nonprofit Ugandan Water Project. I got to know James back when we were both involved in the ministry world and even played on tour together. In this episode, we talk about why James began the Ugandan Water Project and what he has learned over the nearly 15 years he has been running the nonprofit.

Some of the questions we dive into are:

• How did he get into starting a nonprofit for communities in Uganda from his small town in western New York?
• What were his early fundraising pitches like?
• Who were the people connecting with in the beginning?
• Was there a season where he felt like they had finally made it?
• What are the project’s core values?

I took a spontaneous trip to LA for a week, which led to recording a couple of podcast episodes, going to an Angels game, and meeting with David Meltzer and many influential non-public figures. I’ve been getting in the habit of asking myself, “what if everything turns out great?” And everything about this trip to LA did turn out great.

I gained new relationships, tools, and skillsets that I could bring back home with me. I also was reminded that because I’m generous to people in my circle of influence, opportunities seem to find me. Listen in to this episode to hear how my week in LA played out and what I was able to take away from it.

Over the past two to three years, I’ve been on a journey of learning how to channel energy. A lot of credit goes to my friend Nick Cavuoto – serial entrepreneur, inspirational speaker, and personal branding expert. One of his gifts is energy work – he is very in tune with his own energy and the energy of those around him.

Recently, instead of thinking to myself, “what if everything goes wrong?” I’ve been telling myself, “what if everything goes great?” So I went to Los Angeles on a whim and just let the week play out. Stay tuned for episode 344 for more on my week in LA.

In this episode, Nick answers questions like:

• What does life look like for someone who sees people through a lens of energy first?
• What does he see most often when working with entrepreneurs who wear a lot of hats?
• What would he fix if he could wave a magic wand to help transform someone?
• What did he learn from meeting with a monk?

We also talk about psychedelics, affirmations, and more!

This episode is a little different because it’s a simulcast of my friend Jerry Won’s podcast, Dear Asian Americans. He interviewed me on his show and we talked about how I got to where I am today.

We discussed:

• When it became clear to me that I could teach and be the “product”
• What I learned from being in the church world
• Separating a professional and personal identity and the importance of being self aware
• How to keep evolving and staying relevant
• Thinking outside the routine
• The article I wrote on racism after the Atlanta shootings
• And much more.

Listen in for how I developed from a church’s music director to personal branding expert, speaker, and author. The point is that everyone’s path is not the same. Take advantage of your own skillset and chart a path that makes sense for you.

This episode takes you “behind the curtain” so you can get the most out of a mastermind group. A mastermind group can be one of the biggest accelerators of your business and life –– but they are also very misunderstood, mis-marketed, and therefore under-utilized.

Here is a sneak peek of the tips from this episode:

• Show up with the same energy you would if you were the group leader
• Actively listen during the mastermind call –– look for a spark to act on.
• Actively contribute to the group.
• Contribute to the group’s forward energy.
• Study the transcript of the call, and be quick to gather resources that are shared.
• Build and maintain relationships with group members outside of the group calls

At some point, a mastermind group is less about what you learn and more about the energy you’re around. Channel that energy! There’s power in the group.

This episode is a replay of my closing keynote at YATB Live earlier this year, and it’s really more of a “life talk” than a “marketing talk.” I spoke from the heart and shared some honest life lessons I’ve learned over my years as an entrepreneur. This includes lessons like getting to define what success is for you and making margins for the things and people that matter most.
