You’re Sitting on Gold — But No One Knows Until You Ship It
I’ve produced bands, written a book, directed a short film, produced music, and hosted a weekly podcast.
Each one followed the same three-beat mantra:
Imagine. Create. Publish.
Most people nail the first.
Some flirt with the second.
Almost everyone gets paralyzed by the third.
But if you want to be trusted, remembered, or respected—publishing isn’t an optional extra. It’s essential.
You’re a creator by design. You have insight, a method, and a point of view. If no one sees it— it might as well not exist.
Publishing turns invisible value into visible influence. That’s what separates spectators from change-makers.
As I write this, I’m in Playa del Carmen.
Next month: Puerto Vallarta.
I’m running my coaching business, recording my weekly show, and writing this newsletter—all from a mobile, pro video-podcast setup I take wherever I go.
It’s the result of publishing relentlessly for years.
And if you’ve been quietly sitting on something meaningful—this is your nudge.
Personal Brand = Expertise + Media + Business Model
You’ve got the expertise.
Publishing on a platform consistently is your media.
A specific offer to those who want to work with you is the business model.
To be known, trusted, and paid—you need all three.
But it starts right here: by hitting publish.
