201. The content I posted to build authority (Latasha James)
The truth is, authority isn’t given; it’s built. It happens when you keep showing up, refining your message, and sharing what you know, even when self-doubt creeps in. Authority isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about taking up space, speaking up, and leading the conversation instead of waiting for permission.
But most entrepreneurs and creators never reach that moment because they’re too busy second-guessing themselves.
This is the premise for this episode of EDIT HISTORY. Our guest is Latasha James, the Founder and Creative Director of James + Park Creative. She is also the host of the award-winning Freelance Friday Podcast and has taught thousands of people to start and grow their businesses through her courses and content.
So. If you’ve ever wondered whether your content is “good enough,” or whether you have what it takes to become the go-to person in your space—this is the episode for you.
