If you’re building a personal brand in your 40s or 50s, I need you to hear this: you’re not late you’re actually right on time. In 2018, I was 38 years old, deep in debt, and honestly… I felt like a failure. I didn’t have a big following, I didn’t have some perfect plan, and I wasn’t “ahead.” But over the next seven years, my life changed completely not because I got lucky, but because I committed to building a real personal brand. And now I want to show you the exact blueprint I used so you can stop feeling stuck and start turning your experience, your story, and your expertise into momentum.

In this episode I break down the five-step plan that helped me go from the middle muck to becoming the obvious choice in my market, and it’s a lot simpler than people make it. We’ll talk about how to position yourself, how to create content that actually builds authority, why picking one platform is everything, and how to build trust so people choose you when they’re ready — even if they’re not ready today. And yes, I’ll also show you how to sell behind the curtain (webinars, events, collaborations, email, DMs) without feeling salesy. Most importantly, I want you to remember this: money doesn’t care how old you are — and everything you’ve lived through has prepared you to win now.

In this episode, Neel sits down withAndrew Flachner, founder and CEO of RealScout, to break down what it really takes to build a high-trust personal brand in 2026—and why the world’s biggest founders are investing in storytelling more than ever. Andrew shares how his business scaled into a multiple eight-figure company through relationships, and why launching a podcast became the most effective way to deepen connections, unlock partnerships, recruit talent, and create the kind of asymmetric opportunities that traditional marketing can’t replicate.

This hour is a dive deep into Neel’s frameworks for content strategy, including MOVE (Make them notice → Offer clarity → Vibes → Enable next step), along with tactical lessons on "news jacking", building a content team, incentivizing performance, and turning live events into content machines. If you're an entrepreneur, founder, or leader trying to grow influence without wasting time, this episode gives you the exact playbook.

Everyone is fighting over the tiny 5% of people who are ready to buy but the real money is in the overlooked 80%. Today, Omar and I unpack the “conversion event” method that turned our businesses into multi-seven-figure machines. This is the strategy creators ignore, the one that builds trust fast, and the one that makes clients chase you instead of the other way around.
