Personal Branding & Podcasting in 2026 with Maryam Sharif

The first episode of the Just Inspire Podcast, host Justin interviews Maryam Sharif, a former BBC showbiz reporter turned personal branding expert and Style Moguls founder, about being intentional with visibility in 2026 through personal branding and podcasting.

Maryum Sharif defines personal branding as self-defining the human behind the business beliefs, values, narrative, and authenticity especially important amid AI.

She emphasises three non-negotiables: show up digitally and physically, know your purpose and point of view, and own your platforms with a clear message for a specific audience.

She advises beginners to stop overthinking, start creating, experiment (especially in the first 10 podcast episodes), improve in small increments, and build trust through research, active listening, and natural conversation.

Her key life advice is self-belief, turning fear into excitement, and finding supportive communities to help you be seen.

Big Love & Blessings
