When it comes to audience building and growing your personal following, it’s all about the content, baby. And if the content’s not good, your personal brand isn’t going to grow.

So in this episode, I’m sitting down with Donavan Barrett of Narrative Collective to give you the cheat codes you need to make more engaging content. We’re covering why some of us are afraid of being seen, how to create more interesting (and less preachy) content, and why you don’t have to worry about algorithms. Let’s dive in!

What’s in this episode:

  • [00:00] Intro 

  • [00:20] ⁠Make managing your taxes simpler and less expensive

  • [04:27] How to break out of your shell and try new things when it comes to content creation

  • [07:21] Why you have to stop worrying about the algorithm
