After 200 podcast episodes, I’ve learned a simple truth:
 👉 More content does not equal more trust.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest lessons from 200 episodes—what changed, what didn’t work, and what actually builds trust online when you’re an expert entrepreneur.

If you’ve been stuck on the content treadmill—posting more, chasing reach, trying to “play the algorithm”—this episode is for you. Because the secret to visibility isn’t about showing up everywhere. It’s about showing up differently.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why I stopped inviting guests
• What took 200 episodes to figure out
• Naming the Monster
• The Real Promise
• Why Chat GPT became my best co-host
• What Changed, What Worked (And What Didn't)
• How AI can reveal the real you

💡 The takeaway? You don’t need to scale content. You need to scale trust.

🚗 A dead car battery. No phone. And an unexpected lesson in branding.

This week, something happened to my girlfriend that reminded me why some brands stick in your mind… while others fade into the noise.

Here’s what I mean:

Your brand doesn’t stand out because of your logo, your colors, or even your marketing funnel.

It stands out because of how it makes people feel.

And in this episode, I’m sharing a short, true story that proves it, plus a simple way you can create those unforgettable moments in your own business.

If you’ve been looking for a way to connect with your audience that actually builds trust (instead of just more content for the algorithm)… this one’s for you.

Because when your brand earns real trust, everything else gets easier.

This week we’re diving into the one marketing skill most expert businesses are still ignoring…

👉 And it’s not ads. 

👉 It’s not shouting louder or going viral. 

It’s showing up in a way that others won't on video so you become the most known and trusted brand in your field.

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I sit down with bestselling author and trust-building trailblazer Marcus Sheridan—the author of They Ask, You Answer and Endless Customers—to unpack why the future of marketing isn’t about louder content... it’s about radical transparency and human connection.

We dive into:
 ✅ Why 82% of all internet traffic being video is your wake-up call
 ✅ The single habit that separates the top 5% of businesses from the 95%
 ✅ How showing what others won’t (on video) gives you an unbeatable edge
 ✅ The "self-service revolution" that's rewriting how customers buy
 ✅ Why becoming your own media company isn’t optional anymore

Marcus doesn’t just preach content strategy—he built the fastest-growing pool company in the U.S. by showing everything his competitors were afraid to reveal.

If you're an expert, consultant, or service provider trying to grow your business in a crowded market… this conversation will change how you think about marketing forever.

Stay until the end for the #1 question Marcus asks every business owner about their content—and why it might be the most profitable question you ever answer.

You don’t need to go viral.

You don’t need a trending sound, a big production budget, or a complicated funnel strategy.

Because the most powerful way to grow demand for your business?

👉 It’s one honest, human conversation at a time.

In this episode, I’ll show you why trust, not reach, is the foundation of a standout personal brand — and how short-form video can amplify the trust you’re already building behind closed doors.

Whether you’re on a call with a client, answering a common question, or sharing your take on something that matters — those real moments are your most valuable content assets.

And if you're thinking:
“I’m not sure I’m ready to be the face of my brand…”
“I don’t have time to create new content every day…”

This episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why scaling your content won’t help if you’re not scaling trust
• How to turn everyday conversations into powerful marketing assets
• Why you don’t need to be a performer — just a professional who listens well
• How expert entrepreneurs are earning attention without the content machine

🎯 Belief Shift:
You don’t need more content.
You need more conviction.
And the simplest way to build it — is to let people see you doing what you do best.

This is your permission to stop performing and start showing up.

What if the real reason your content isn’t landing has nothing to do with the algorithm—and everything to do with how you’re showing up?

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, we break down the attention revolution happening right now—and what expert entrepreneurs can learn from a surprising source: a grassroots political campaign in New York City.

Zohran Mamdani didn’t have a massive budget, party backing, or name recognition. But he crushed his opponent—a former governor—by doing one thing most expert brands aren’t doing: earning attention instead of buying it.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why traditional visibility strategies are failing
• How to use short-form video the way it’s meant to work
• The power of platform-native storytelling (and how to apply it to your brand)
• The simplest format you can borrow from Mamdani’s campaign right now
• Why listening is the most underrated marketing strategy today

This isn’t about politics. It’s about learning how attention actually works today—and using that to position your expertise in a way that breaks through the noise.

🎙 Plus, hear the powerful “man-on-the-street” clip that helped turn Mamdani’s campaign into a viral movement—and how you can apply the same principle to your own message.

📍Whether you’re building your authority on LinkedIn or looking for your next high-value client, this episode will help you rethink the way you show up… and how to make people actually care.
