When you’re building a personal brand, the biggest mistake you can make is being too broad. The world doesn’t need another generalist. It needs someone who owns a clear, specific problem and solves it consistently. That’s the magic of niching down. A focused message not only grabs attention, it builds trust and traction faster than trying to be everything to everyone. So what does it look like to get hyper-specific, and how do you know if your niche is tight enough?

 

In this week's episode, hosts Donald Miller and Kyle Reed break down the personal brand of Dan Go, also known as @FitFounder. They unpack why his brand name works, how his bio instantly communicates value, and how his disciplined content strategy made him a go-to voice for entrepreneurs who want to get healthy. You’ll learn what makes a personal brand succeed, how to build authority, and why clarity beats cleverness. Tune in to get the secrets to building a personal brand that actually works.
