What if being disliked is actually a sign you’re doing something right?
In this episode, I’m getting real about one of the most painful (and hilarious) lessons I’ve learned in business—the time I watered down my brand to be more “appealing”… and almost broke everything I’d built.
From the Great Proposal Disaster of 2024 (yes, we’re calling it that 😂) to the realization that trying to please everyone is the fastest way to attract no one—I’m walking you through how embracing polarity changed everything for me.
Inside this episode:
- the math behind client alignment vs. chasing volume
- how trying to be “liked” led to my biggest business flop
- why some people should be turned off by your brand
- how personality and positioning work together
- and a reminder that your brand should feel like you—turned all the way up
This one’s for the people-pleasers, perfectionists, and recovering brand-neutral creatives. Let it be your permission slip to take up more space and be unapologetically specific.
