#54: Wrong Operating System: Why Most Content Advice Fails Experience-Led Thought Leaders


Listen Later

I believe that the way you naturally create transformation is the key to how you should build your thought leadership platform. When the advice you've been following was designed for someone wired completely differently than you, the problem isn't discipline or effort. It's sequence.

In this episode, I discuss the Four Frequencies, a framework that reveals why so many brilliant experts struggle to create content, build IP, or finish their courses, not because they lack ideas but because they're following a content creation pathway designed for a completely different type of thinker. Drawing from real client stories and my own experience as someone with three experience-led archetypes in my top results, I walk through how expression-led, experience-led, insight-led, and embodiment-led thought leaders each develop their ideas in fundamentally different ways, and why understanding your frequency changes everything about how you approach building your platform.

Whether you're a coach who creates breakthroughs in conversation but freezes in front of a blank screen, a facilitator whose magic happens in the room but feels impossible to describe on paper, or any expert who has wondered why everyone else seems to be able to "just write it down" when you can't, this episode offers a different path forward. Your genius isn't broken. You've just been running the wrong operating system.

IMPACT POINTS FROM THIS EPISODE:

Your Frequency Determines Your Pathway — The Four Frequencies (Expression Led, Experience Led, Insight Led, and Embodiment Led) reveal how different types of thinkers naturally develop their ideas. Following a content creation process built for a different frequency is the fastest route to frustration, not because you lack discipline, but because the sequence is wrong for how your brain works.

Experience-Led People Facilitate First, Document Second — If your genius lives in the room with people, your intellectual property already exists inside the transformations you create every day. You don't need to write your framework. You need to document the one that's already emerging from your work, then build documentation bridges that make your experiential magic understandable before someone experiences it.

Most Platform-Building Advice Was Written by Expression-Led People — The dominant advice to "sit down and write your framework, create your course, build your content calendar" works beautifully for people who think by expressing. But when experience-led thinkers follow that same advice, they hit a wall and assume something is wrong with them. Nothing is wrong. The operating system just doesn't match.
