How do you build a personal brand that actually stands out, without manufacturing a personality or copying everyone else in your industry? In this episode, I sat down with Tayla Bubeck to talk about personal branding, authenticity, content, influence and what it really takes to build a business around who you are. After building a seven figure business, Tayla shares why conventional markers of success stopped feeling fulfilling, how she realised she had lost sight of her own values, and what changed when she stopped trying to build her business the way she thought she was “supposed” to.  Tayla’s advice is simple: the things you assume are irrelevant to your business, your taste, interests, opinions and quirks, can be exactly what gives people a reason to remember and connect with you.  Follow Tayla here: www.instagram.com/taylabubeck_ LETS CONNECT — ⁠⁠⁠⁠click here⁠⁠⁠⁠ to find me on IG, Youtube, TikTok and explore ways to work together

Todays episode was with Christina Pengilly one of my besties, and was an honest conversation about building a non-traditional career, stepping away from the coaching industry, and creating a life and personal brand that feels genuinely aligned. Christina shares her journey from studying psychology to entering the online coaching space, building a successful multi-six-figure coaching business, and eventually deciding to walk away when success on paper no longer felt right. Together, Taylor and Christina unpack the reality of the coaching industry, the blurred lines between mentorship, community and pressure, and what it looks like to rebuild your identity after outgrowing a business. They also dive into friendship in adulthood, building community through social media, growing a personal brand, and Christina’s practical advice for creating content consistently, finding your content pillars, using Instagram stories intentionally, and becoming known for your own unique style online.

Most Loved Moment with Daine McDonald founder of Clean Health Institution. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting the results… this episode will challenge that. Because success in business isn’t just about strategy. And it’s definitely not about doing more. In this conversation, we break down what actually determines whether someone succeeds or not, from the very beginning. Not theories. Not motivation. Real patterns from someone who took 14 years to build an 8-figure business.  Inside this episode: The 3 traits that predict long-term success (and why most people don’t have them)Why passion alone isn’t enough without product-market fitThe role of ego in slowing your growthWhat “skill stacking” actually looks like in 2026Why most people quit before anything starts workingThe truth about failure (and why avoiding it is costing you)This isn’t about quick wins. It’s about who you need to become to actually build something that lasts. LETS CONNECT — ⁠⁠⁠⁠click here⁠⁠⁠⁠ to find me on IG, Youtube, TikTok and explore ways to work together
