	How to Become Known for Something (Instead of Posting Random Content) \| Ep. 353	04 Jun 2026	00:09:46
Most experts, consultants, speakers, and creators are posting content... but very few become known for something. The people landing speaking engagements, attracting clients, getting featured in the media, and building authority aren't just creating content. They're building intellectual property (IP). In this episode, Brandon Birkmeyer shares a simple framework for turning your expertise into signature ideas, frameworks, and concepts that people associate with your name. You'll learn: ✅ How to identify a problem worth owning ✅ How to develop ideas that change how people think ✅ How to create memorable frameworks and concepts ✅ Why most content creators struggle to stand out ✅ How thought leaders build authority through original IP If you want to move from being another voice online to becoming the obvious choice in your market, this episode will help you start building personal brand IP.

	Why Your Content Isn't Converting \| Ep. 352	18 May 2026	00:09:28
Most people think they have a content problem. They think they need to post more, stay more consistent, or figure out the algorithm. But that's usually not why their content isn't working. In this episode, we break down the real issue: authority. Because when people see your content, they're immediately asking three questions: What are you known for? Why should I trust you? How do you actually help me? And if your content doesn't answer those questions quickly, it becomes difficult to convert attention into trust, opportunities, clients, or bookings. Come with me behind-the-scenes to look at how I'm building this speaking business, editing keynote videos, structuring authority content, and thinking about the "signals" that make people take you seriously online. You'll learn: Why authority matters more than content volume The hidden signals people use to judge credibility How speakers, coaches, and creators build trust online Why positioning matters more than consistency alone How to create content that makes you the obvious choice If your content gets views but isn't leading to real opportunities, this episode will help you rethink what's actually missing. — 📩 Take the Personal Brand Clarity Scorecard: https://brandsonbrands.com/scorecard 00:00 Content vs Authority 00:52 Editing for Different Platforms 01:46 Minimum Viable Credibility 04:17 Three Authority Questions 04:43 Applying Authority to Speaking 09:13 Wrap Up and Next Time This is the Brands On Brands Podcast with Brandon Birkmeyer www.brandsonbrands.com Don't forget to get your own personal branding scorecard at: https://www.brandsonbrands.com/scorecard CONNECT WITH ME Connect with me on social media: https://www.brandsonbrands.com/mylinks READ MY BOOK - FRONT & CENTER LEADERSHIP I launched a new book and author website.

	What's Really Changing in Personal Branding (AI, Proof & Standing Out Today) \| Ep. 351	29 Apr 2026	00:56:39
This episode is a little different than usual. Instead of hosting, I'm sharing a conversation where I was a guest on The Personal Brand Blueprint podcast with Dave Polykoff. We go beyond the typical "tips and tactics" and get into what's actually changing in personal branding right now—from AI and content creation to credibility, trust, and what it really takes to stand out today. We also talk through my own journey—from working on brands like Coca-Cola and Apple to building my own platform—and how my thinking on personal branding has evolved along the way. In this conversation, we cover: • Why having a "show" can accelerate your personal brand • How I grew my YouTube channel—and what most people get wrong • The shift from expertise → expression → trust • Why "proof" is becoming the new currency of personal branding • The role of AI in content creation—and where it helps (and hurts) • How to think about content strategy without overcomplicating it This is a more free-flowing, behind-the-scenes conversation—less structured, more real—and a good look at how I think about building a personal brand in today's landscape. If you're trying to stand out, build credibility, or grow your platform, there's a lot in here for you. — 🎙 Original podcast: The Personal Brand Blueprint with Dave Polykoff — 📩 Want help building your personal brand or positioning yourself as a thought leader?

	Leading in the Age of AI: Why Great Leaders Don't Run Out of Ideas \| Ep. 350	24 Apr 2026	00:14:11
Today's episode is a little different. Instead of a traditional interview or solo breakdown, I'm sharing the audio from a recent keynote I delivered called "Leading in the Age of AI: How Leaders Stand Out Today." AI is changing how work gets done—but more importantly, it's changing how leaders are evaluated. When everyone has access to the same tools, the same information, and even the same AI-generated insights, the question becomes: How do you actually stand out? In this talk, I share a simple but powerful shift: Your personal brand isn't built on how much content you create—it's built on the quality of your ideas and how consistently you develop and share them. You'll hear: • Why most people struggle to come up with meaningful ideas • Where strong ideas actually come from (hint: it's not social media) • A simple system for capturing and organizing your thinking • How to use AI to process your ideas without replacing your perspective • How to turn everyday thoughts into content that builds your reputation This is a practical framework for leaders, creators, and professionals who want to stand out in a world where everyone can "sound smart." If you've ever felt like you're creating content but not building real authority… this episode will give you a different way to think about it. — 🎤 Interested in bringing this talk to your organization or event?

	The 5 Fastest Ways to Build Credibility in Your Industry \| Ep. 347	01 Apr 2026	00:13:48
Five Fast Ways to Build Credibility in Your Industry. Today we talk about five fast, accessible ways to build credibility and reputation in any industry without becoming a full-time creator. First, write original LinkedIn articles regularly (e.g., weekly) to develop a clear perspective and demonstrate thought leadership rather than relying on AI-generated posts. Second, join a local industry group or association to build relationships and stay informed on trends. Third, attend events—both local meetups and major conferences—to learn, network, and gather ideas to fuel future content. Fourth, turn your ideas into a speech or training and volunteer to present at group meetings; record the talk and repurpose clips for LinkedIn. Fifth, create a simple speaking pitch (title, description, key takeaways) to approach meetings, podcasts, publications, and other opportunities, building a searchable portfolio of proof. 00:00 Fast Credibility Framework 01:32 Tip 1 LinkedIn Articles 05:36 Tip 2 Join Associations 07:05 Tip 3 Attend Industry Events 08:40 Tip 4 Create a Talk 11:10 Tip 5 Build a Pitch 13:23 Wrap Up Five Steps This is the Brands On Brands Podcast with Brandon Birkmeyer www.brandsonbrands.com Don't forget to get your own personal branding scorecard at: https://www.brandsonbrands.com/scorecard CONNECT WITH ME Connect with me on social media: https://www.brandsonbrands.com/mylinks READ MY BOOK - FRONT & CENTER LEADERSHIP I launched a new book and author website.

	Everyone's Doing Personal Branding Wrong (Here's the Real Game) \| Ep. 331	12 Nov 2025	00:05:49
Most people think personal branding is about getting followers, likes, and viral videos — but that's not the real game. In this solo episode, Brandon Birkmeyer breaks down why most people approach personal branding completely backward, and what to do instead if you want to build a reputation that gets you noticed, respected, and paid. It's not about attention — it's about perception. It's not about reach — it's about reputation. And it's not about fame — it's about trust at scale. You'll learn the three layers of brand power — Visibility, Credibility, and Influence — and how to move from being seen to being chosen. 💡 In This Episode ✅ The #1 mistake most people make in personal branding ✅ Why chasing attention won't build your career or business ✅ What credibility signals actually look like (and how to create them) ✅ The 3-part framework: Visibility → Credibility → Influence ✅ How to collaborate with credible people to build brand associations ✅ Why credibility makes you memorable and influence makes you profitable ✅ A simple 3-step playbook to start playing the real game today 🧠 Key Takeaways Visibility gets you seen. You can't build trust if people don't know you exist. Credibility gets you believed. Proof, not popularity, builds trust. Influence gets you paid. Once people believe in you, opportunities chase you. Your content isn't just marketing — it's a trust-building system. Every post, appearance, and collaboration should send one clear message: 👉 "This is a person worth knowing." 🔗 Episode Resources 📘 Learn more at: brandsonbrands.com 🎥 Watch on YouTube: @brandsonbrands 💬 Follow Brandon on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/brandonbirkmeyer
