So... you are probably thinking about building your personal brand or growing your company brand which is why you are viewing my profile. You are most certainly in the right place. But, before I get into more detail about who I am and what I do, ask yourself this 1 question: why do you want to build your personal brand? Is it to get inbound speaking gigs? Is it to get inbound podcast invites? Is it to get inbound PR/ media invites? Is it to position yourself as a thought leader? Is it to help with your book pre and post launch? Is it to give general awareness to your audience? Is it to drive more traffic over to your company to increase sales? Whatever it might be, think about what you want the outcome to be.

I’m learning that building a business is mostly deciding what not to do.

There is always another idea.

Another platform.

Another offer.

Another tool.

Another thing that suddenly feels urgent.

The problem is, trying to do everything usually means doing nothing particularly well.

Sometimes progress comes from adding something new.

But a lot of the time it comes from cutting things out and putting more energy into what actually matters.

That’s something I’m getting much better at.

Not asking:

“What else can I do?”

But:

“What actually deserves my attention right now?”

What’s one thing you’ve stopped doing because it simply wasn’t worth your time anymore?

Nearly 1 million views taught me something uncomfortable about content.

One of my CTO clients hit around 1 million views.

And the biggest lesson wasn't:

"Post more."

It wasn't:

"Crack the algorithm."

It was much simpler.

The best-performing content came from strong ideas that actually sounded like him.

Real experience.

Real opinions.

Real stories.

Things people could agree with, disagree with or think about afterwards.

That's what made the content travel.

Too many businesses try to make content perform before they've worked out whether they have anything interesting to say.

Reach matters.

But the idea comes first.

Because great distribution can't rescue forgettable thinking.

What do you think makes someone stop and actually pay attention to a post?

A founder can get thousands of impressions and still generate absolutely nothing for the business.

I think this often happens when founders start going down the influencer route instead of the thought leader route.

There is a difference.

An influencer focuses heavily on attention.

Views.
Reach.
Engagement.
Followers.

A thought leader focuses on what they want to become known for.

They share opinions.

They challenge the way people think.

They demonstrate expertise.

They talk about the problems their customers actually care about.

And over time, people begin associating them with a specific subject or problem.

That is where founder content becomes commercially useful.

Because thousands of people seeing your post means very little if none of them understand what you do, what you believe or why they should remember your business.

Attention is valuable.

But attention without relevance is just a number on a screen.

I'd rather have the right people consistently associate me with something than have thousands of people recognise my face but have no idea what I actually do.

What do you think matters more for a founder online, influence or thought leadership?

One of the hardest things about building a business is admitting the version that got you here might not be the version that gets you where you want to go.

The world changes constantly.

Technology changes.
Customers change.
Industries change.
The way people discover, trust and buy from businesses changes.

So businesses have to change too.

It's easy to stick with something because it's what you've always done.

But doing the same thing over and over doesn't guarantee things will improve.

Sometimes you have to question what's working, what isn't, and whether the direction you're heading in still makes sense.

We've had to do that with Calzen.

Change our thinking.
Change our approach.
Change what we're building.

And I'm sure we'll have to do it again.

I think that's part of building anything worthwhile.

You don't have to abandon everything that got you here.

But you do have to be willing to adapt.

Because standing still in an ever-changing world is usually just another way of falling behind.

What's something you've had to change recently that you originally thought you'd stick with?

Personal branding isn't a marketing strategy.

And strangely, I think personal branding is becoming more important than ever.

AI is making it easier to create content at scale.

- More posts.
- More articles.
- More polished copy.
- More noise.

Which means the person behind the business matters even more.

People want opinions, experience, stories and a point of view.

They want to know who they're buying from.

But I think we've taken "people buy from people" too far...

Because people also buy from businesses.

And businesses buy from businesses.

If all of your authority, audience and visibility sits with one founder, you're only building half the marketing system.

With the ever-changing world, it is crucial to adapt and now I think the strongest approach is when the founder and company work together.

The founder can build trust.

→ Share opinions.
→ Tell stories.
→ Start conversations.
→ Nurture relationships without every post feeling like a sales pitch.

While the company page can build the brand around them.

→ Show the work.
→ Share proof.
→ Talk about the team and culture.
→ Promote services.
→ Publish the more commercial content.
→ Reinforce what the business actually wants to be known for.

One shouldn't replace the other.
They should compound each other.

Your founder creates familiarity with the people behind the company.

Your company creates confidence in the business itself.

That's why I still believe personal branding will be incredibly important in the AI era.

I just don't believe it should be your entire marketing strategy.

Where has your biggest business opportunity come from in the last 12 months?

For me, the answer has changed over the years.

At one point it was referrals.

Then networking.

More recently, social media has opened doors I never expected.

Clients.

Partnerships.

Podcast invitations.

Conversations with people I'd probably never have met otherwise.

It got me thinking.

A lot of business owners spend their time looking for new opportunities.

But sometimes the better question is:

Where are your current opportunities already coming from?

Curious to know.

What's generated your biggest business opportunity in the last 12 months?

* Referrals
* Social media
* Networking
* Existing clients
* Cold outreach
* Something else

The biggest mistake founders make on LinkedIn.

They treat it like an online CV.

Most people use LinkedIn to tell people who they are.

Very few use it to show people what they know.

That's the difference.

Your profile might tell me you're a founder.

Your content should prove why I should listen to you.

The founders generating inbound opportunities aren't necessarily the smartest.

They're the most visible.

They consistently share:

* Their experiences
* Their lessons
* Their opinions
* Their expertise

Not because they love posting.

Because they understand trust is built before the conversation starts.

If someone lands on your profile today, what would they learn about you?

Would they see a job title?

Or would they see a leader with something valuable to say?

Big difference.

My definition of success has changed over the years.

Not because my ambitions got smaller.

Because my perspective got bigger.

A few years ago, success looked pretty straightforward.

More revenue.

More clients.

More growth.

More.

And whilst I still want all of those things, I've realised they aren't the whole picture.

Success isn't just about what you're building.

It's also about who you're building it with.

It's about having people to celebrate the wins with.

It's about being present enough to enjoy the journey, not just chase the next milestone.

I think a lot of entrepreneurs fall into the trap of constantly moving the goalposts.

Hit one target.

Set another.

Hit that one.

Set another.

And before you know it, you've spent years chasing success without ever stopping to define what it actually means to you.

These days, I'm still building.

Still ambitious.

Still setting big goals.

But I'm equally focused on creating a life I enjoy along the way.

Because what's the point in reaching the destination if you never enjoy the journey?

Has your definition of success changed over the years?

Consistency alone won’t grow your brand.

If you're showing up but not seeing results, check for this:

→ Are you solving real problems?
→ Are you clear about what you want them to do next?
→ Are you repeating yourself enough to be remembered?

Consistency matters.

But clarity and resonance turn noise into momentum.
