Welcome back to Halftime Huddle – your weekly midweek recharge, where small business owners pause, reflect, and reset. In this episode, host Mark Webb is joined by international business coach, author, and summit creator Susanna Reay – known as the Authority Architect – to explore how introverts can build visibility, credibility, and authority without burning out.Susanna’s journey has taken her across three continents, twenty cities, and countless pivots. From her early days navigating online work long before it was mainstream, to publishing The Introvert Way Roadmap and launching the Superfast Authority Summit, she’s become a champion for entrepreneurs who want to share their expertise authentically – especially those who find traditional, extroverted business tactics exhausting.This conversation is full of practical strategies, honest reflections, and empowering ideas for entrepreneurs who want to grow their influence, simplify their message, and design a business that works with (not against) their natural energy.🧠 Highlights from the Episode:✨ Origin Story: From Nomad to Coach Susanna shares how moving across continents taught her to embrace online work, and how her recognition of her introversion became the foundation of her coaching practice.🔄 Pivoting with Purpose She explains why she moved away from binary labels like “female entrepreneurs” or “introvert vs extrovert” and created a more inclusive, human-first space for authority building.📣 The Superfast Authority Summit Learn how Susanna flipped the “speaker-fest” model on its head – prioritising interaction, collaboration, and peer learning – and why attendees found the real magic in the breakout rooms.🖼️ The Power of Simplicity and Visuals Why frameworks, models, and visual storytelling cut through today’s avalanche of content – and how entrepreneurs can simplify their ideas to make a bigger impact.💡 Superpower or Kryptonite? Discover how Susanna reframed her introversion from a weakness into a superpower – and how you can lean into your own natural strengths to build rapport and authority.🛠️ Tools That Fuel Creativity From Instagram Reels and Google Docs to interactive platforms like Miro, Susanna reveals the tools she uses daily to collaborate, co-create, and share ideas with impact.🌿 Energy, Balance, and Focus Hear how she structures her week with “task blocking” (not rigid time blocking), why she always takes walks without headphones, and how procrastination can sometimes be your brain’s best problem-solving tool.📚 Book Recommendation: Playing Big by Tara Mohr The book Susanna most often recommends, Playing Big inspires entrepreneurs to overcome self-doubt, take bold leaps, and translate ideas into action – perfectly aligned with her philosophy of building authority step by step.💬 Quotes to Remember:“Introversion isn’t kryptonite – it’s my superpower.”“Content is overwhelming. The world doesn’t need more noise – it needs clarity, simplicity, and ideas that cut through.”“Authority isn’t built by shouting the loudest, it’s built by creating frameworks people remember.”“The magic happens in the conversation, not just in the keynote.”👥 About the Guest – Susanna Reay Susanna Reay is an international business coach, author of The Introvert Way Roadmap, and creator of the Superfast Authority Summit.
