Hello Monday with Jessi Hempel

The Introvert’s Guide to Personal Branding


Listen Later

Most people think personal branding is for the loudest voices in the room. But Goldie Chan, longtime creator and author of Personal Branding for Introverts, believes the opposite; introverts have superpowers that make them uniquely equipped to shape a personal brand with depth, clarity, and impact.

Goldie has built a global audience with her signature green hair, thoughtful storytelling, and approachable advice for people who don’t want to pretend to be someone they’re not. In this episode of Hello Monday, she sits down with Jessi Hempel for a practical, generous conversation about how introverts can build a personal brand that feels authentic, sustainable, and true to who they are.

Jessi and Goldie discuss:

  • Why personal branding is not about being loud
  • The difference between reputation (what others say) and personal brand (what you say)
  • Goldie’s 5 Cs framework: clarity, consistency, competency, confidence, and community
  • What it really means to be an introvert
  • How “loud introverts” can manage energy, show up powerfully, and recover afterward
  • Tips for networking without draining your battery, from scripts to small-group strategy
  • Why “evergreen content” is your friend, and how to build a sustainable posting cadenceThe power of making mistakes in an AI-saturated world
  • How to evolve your brand over time without confusing your audience
  • Practical advice for job seekers, career pivoters, and anyone afraid of climbing “Cringe Mountain”
  • Goldie’s message is clear: introverts don’t need to become extroverts to build a meaningful presence. They just need the right tools, and permission to build a brand in a way that honors their energy, creativity, and voice.
