Description

Most business owners are creating content constantly and still getting ignored. The problem isn't effort, it's that nobody knows who you are.In this episode, Matt Haycox sits down with personal branding expert Alex Shaw to break down why most people are invisible to the very audience they're trying to reach. Alex covers the difference between a personal brand that pulls people in and one that blends into the noise, why visibility and authority are not the same thing, and how the 60/30/10 content framework helps business owners stop posting randomly and start building real trust.They also dig into the five biggest personal branding mistakes, and why the most powerful thing you can do is be strategically vulnerable rather than just showing results. If you're a founder, coach, or entrepreneur who knows they should be building a personal brand but isn't sure why it isn't working, this episode gives you the honest answer.Chapters0:00 - Coming Up0:11 - Intro1:04 - Why Personal Branding Matters: The Stats7:48 - Personal Branding Isn't New: Tom Peters12:48 - The 60/30/10 Content Split14:50 - Best Platforms for Personal Branding21:10 - Mistake #124:28 - Mistake #226:30 - Mistake #329:54 - Mistake #431:43 - Mistake #533:21 - Are There Dangers to Personal Branding?34:24 - AI in Personal Branding36:45 - Fake It ‘Till You Make It39:08 - Where to Find Alex ShawFollow Alex:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexbenshaw/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@alexbenshawLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-shaw1312/ ========================Connect with Matt Haycox, No BS Business Podcast Host & 8-Figure Entrepreneur.I’m Matt Haycox, entrepreneur, investor, and your straight-talking guide to building a business that actually works.
