205: Consistent, Not Cute: The Secret to Brand Recognition


Listen Later

Okay friend, let’s talk about something that might be the reason your brand isn’t hitting the way you want it to: consistency. I know it’s tempting to chase cute, clever, and constantly reinvent your content, but here’s the truth—I learned back in my real estate days that consistency is what actually creates connection, trust, and long-term recognition.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of one of my favorite early marketing experiments (spoiler: it involved postcards and a lot of lessons in branding). You’ll hear how showing up with a simple, consistent message outperformed our flashier, “cuter” ideas by a whopping 62%. That’s not just vanity metrics—that’s real traction from real people who started recognizing me because I kept things simple and familiar.

I’m also pulling back the curtain on how I discovered my own brand voice (with the help of AI!) and why it matters so much more than just your colors or logo. From how you address your audience (hey you guys 👋) to the emojis you use, your voice is your brand—and when it clicks, your community will feel it.

If you’ve ever felt like your brand doesn’t “sound like you,” or you’re not sure how to create that sticky, memorable connection with your listeners, this one’s for you.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

  • Why your brand voice matters more than your brand visuals
  • The postcard experiment that taught me the ROI of staying consistent
  • How to uncover your natural voice using your podcast transcripts
  • What phrases, quirks, and even emojis say about your brand (yes, seriously)
  • How disconnects between your real-life vibe and online presence can quietly kill trust
