About this listen

The Standout Business Show is for expert entrepreneurs tired of trying to out-shout the algorithm. Every episode helps you ditch performative marketing and stand out by showing up as you are.


Because the best way to become the go-to in your space isn’t to game the system. It’s to own your voice, document your genius, and build trust at scale—one authentic, standout moment at a time.


This is a show for expert entrepreneurs who are done chasing trends—because they never wanted to in the first place.

They’ve built a real business, not just a following. Their clients get results. Their calendar is full(ish). But online? They’re unrecognized & underexposed.

Not because they don’t have value— but because the Content Machine was never built for people like them.

It rewards loudness, not leadership. Performance, not presence. Hacks, not depth.

On this show, we reject the hustle-for-views model. We believe visibility should look like authority, not exhaustion. And that your best marketing strategy isn’t something you create— it’s something you capture from the brilliance you’re already living.

We’re here to reverse-engineer how expert entrepreneurs go from overlooked to unforgettable. Not by doing more—but by showing up differently.

    ✅ 3 actionable tips to show up more human—without trying harder

  • How to Build a Trusted Personal Brand — One Conversation at a Time
    Jul 13 2025

    You don’t need to go viral.

    You don’t need a trending sound, a big production budget, or a complicated funnel strategy.

    Because the most powerful way to grow demand for your business?

    👉 It’s one honest, human conversation at a time.

    In this episode, I’ll show you why trust, not reach, is the foundation of a standout personal brand — and how short-form video can amplify the trust you’re already building behind closed doors.

    Whether you’re on a call with a client, answering a common question, or sharing your take on something that matters — those real moments are your most valuable content assets.

    And if you're thinking:
    “I’m not sure I’m ready to be the face of my brand…”
    “I don’t have time to create new content every day…”

    This episode is for you.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why scaling your content won’t help if you’re not scaling trust
    • How to turn everyday conversations into powerful marketing assets
    • Why you don’t need to be a performer — just a professional who listens well
    • How expert entrepreneurs are earning attention without the content machine

    🎯 Belief Shift:
    You don’t need more content.
    You need more conviction.
    And the simplest way to build it — is to let people see you doing what you do best.

    This is your permission to stop performing and start showing up.

  • 198. The Attention Advantage: What Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign Can Teach You About Standing Out
    Jul 7 2025

    What if the real reason your content isn’t landing has nothing to do with the algorithm—and everything to do with how you’re showing up?

    In this episode of The Standout Business Show, we break down the attention revolution happening right now—and what expert entrepreneurs can learn from a surprising source: a grassroots political campaign in New York City.

    Zohran Mamdani didn’t have a massive budget, party backing, or name recognition. But he crushed his opponent—a former governor—by doing one thing most expert brands aren’t doing: earning attention instead of buying it.

    Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why traditional visibility strategies are failing
    • How to use short-form video the way it’s meant to work
    • The power of platform-native storytelling (and how to apply it to your brand)
    • The simplest format you can borrow from Mamdani’s campaign right now
    • Why listening is the most underrated marketing strategy today

    This isn’t about politics. It’s about learning how attention actually works today—and using that to position your expertise in a way that breaks through the noise.

    🎙 Plus, hear the powerful “man-on-the-street” clip that helped turn Mamdani’s campaign into a viral movement—and how you can apply the same principle to your own message.

    📍Whether you’re building your authority on LinkedIn or looking for your next high-value client, this episode will help you rethink the way you show up… and how to make people actually care.
