What if the key to better visibility in your business isn’t more marketing, but how you show up?

In this episode, Tori Barker sits down with bestselling author and researcher Marcy Axelrod, whose work explores the science behind presence, influence, and connection.

Marcy explains the three levels of showing up:

1. Barely There
2. Just Showing Up
3. Truly Showing Up

Her research reveals that 80% of people say they are “just showing up” most of the time, moving through their days disconnected from intention and meaning.

But when you learn how to truly show up, something powerful happens.

People feel it.

They remember you.

And your visibility begins to create real momentum.

In this conversation, Marcy shares how belief systems shape our behavior, why our presence influences the people around us, and how entrepreneurs can intentionally shift from simply going through the motions to leading with authentic impact.
