Personal Branding Pt 1:

If you don’t build a personal brand in the next few years, you will get left behind.

This is Jane Lu’s first-ever mini-series on The Lazy CEO Podcast, and it’s all about how to build a personal brand properly for 2026. With AI, automation, and global competition accelerating faster than ever, your personal brand is no longer a nice to have. It’s essential.

Jane breaks down why showing up matters, why trust is built faster through people than products, and why you already have a personal brand whether you like it or not.

This episode lays the foundation for the entire series. If you don’t believe why this matters, you won’t stick with it.

You will learn:

• Why not building a personal brand now means getting left behind
• How showing up builds trust faster than any product ever could
• That you already have a personal brand and why being intentional is everything

Tomorrow, we dive into Pt 2: The 4-Part Framework to Crafting Your Personal Brand & Niche
