Leaders Lead

Dallen Taylor from Dallen Taylor Productions assisted Tony Taylor in interviewing Chris Do of The Futur on the concept of branding. Do emphasized that branding is more than just logos and visuals, but also a strategic business skill that involves creating a person's gut feeling about a product, service, or organization. They discussed how Do's brand was created with a specific mission in mind to teach a billion people how to make a living in what they love while also teaching creative and business skills to create a sustainable practice. The conversation also touched on the importance of working at a high velocity and volume, finding a pace that can be maintained for the long haul, building a brand and world in a fast-moving content environment, and creating powerful short-form content.

In this episode of my podcast, I take a deep dive into my fears. From my childhood to adulthood, I've had my fair share of fears that held me back. But I've come to realize that by committing to facing them, I've been able to overcome them. One of my biggest fears was people. I was always so afraid of what others might think of me, and it held me back from so many opportunities. But as I got older, I realized that no one is perfect and that everyone has their own insecurities. I started putting myself out there more, and I was amazed at how much my life changed for the better. Another fear that I've had to overcome is driving on the highway. I remember when I was younger, I would get so anxious when I had to drive on the highway that I would avoid it at all costs. But one day, I decided that enough was enough. I was going to drive from North Carolina to Indiana, and I was going to do it on the highway. It was a long journey, but I did it. And as I reached my destination, I felt a sense of accomplishment that I'll never forget. I talk about this experience on the show and the mindset that helped me to overcome my fear. I hope my story will inspire others to face their fears and take control of their lives. This episode is for anyone who has ever struggled with fear and anxiety and wants to take the first step toward overcoming it.

Content creation is an essential aspect of modern business, it helps to establish a company's brand, attract and engage customers, and build trust and credibility. Content creation includes blog posts, social media updates, videos, podcasts, and more. One of the primary benefits of content creation is that it allows leaders and entrepreneurs to showcase their expertise and establish themselves as thought leaders in their industry.

Despite these benefits, many businesses struggle with the fear of being judged when it comes to content creation. This fear can hold them back from sharing their ideas and opinions and can prevent them from fully embracing the power of content marketing. Fear held me back for many years! But what if you're afraid? To overcome this fear, it's important to remember that not everyone will agree with your perspective, and that's okay. I have had people make whole podcast series just to spite me. If that episode would have aired 15 years ago I would have been crushed. Instead, I was excited. I w It's natural to worry about how others will perceive your content, but it's important to remember that not everyone will agree with you, and that's okay. The key is to focus on providing valuable and informative content that speaks to your target audience and helps to establish your business as a thought leader in your industry. Content creation is a crucial aspect of modern business, and it's important to embrace it and get over the fear of being judged. By providing valuable and informative content, businesses can establish their brand, attract and engage customers, and build trust and credibility. So don't let fear hold you back – start creating content today and watch your business grow. I started creating content while afraid and my life was forever changed.
