Today’s guest is LinkedIn’s #1 Female Creator, Lara Acosta.

In this episode, we dive deep into the reality of personal branding and what it actually takes to build a million-dollar personal brand from nothing. Lara breaks down the mindset shifts, and consistency behind her success.

Lara opens up about growing up in Mexico as an only child, navigating rejection early in her career, and how she transformed repeated “no’s” into a powerful online presence that now generates real revenue. She shares how showing up authentically online became her biggest asset and what it took to keep going when nothing was working.

If you’re feeling stuck in your career, questioning your direction, or exhausted by rejection after rejection this conversation will remind you what’s possible when you back yourself and keep going.
