Feeling Invisible As A Kid with Casey Zeman | EP7
🔥 Quick Intro
When Casey Zeman was eight he broke into a friend’s bathroom to steal tanning cream - he thought a darker shade would make him visible. Today that same kid runs EasyWebinar, teaching creators how to be seen by being real on camera.
👉 Episode in a Nutshell
Casey Zeman and host Gideon dive into the power of authentic video marketing. Casey recounts childhood invisibility, acting gigs, and founding EasyWebinar. They unpack how AI is erasing technical barriers yet putting a premium on human connection, trust, and story-driven webinars. Listeners learn why “showing the messy, real you” still outperforms perfect AI clones and how to future-proof a brand with community, emotion, and live interaction.
