By listener request, Jay and Tom address the issue of how to engage in thought-leadership content marketing when one feels they don't have the accomplished career or track record to claim a title of "thought leader." Common to junior associates and recent law school graduates, this phenomenon comes up quite a bit, so this show will help people in that position overcome some limiting beliefs.

Discussion Points:

• Imposter syndrome, or legitimate objection?

• How to overcome the mindset roadblock

• A beginner's guide to thought leadership, for those who hesitate to consider themselves thought leaders

• A step-by-step process to implement tomorrow, with "thought leadership" at the end of the rainbow
