Episode Summary

What got you here won't get you there. For years, personal branding was the shortcut: post online, share your story, build visibility. It worked—until it didn't. In today's saturated landscape, visibility no longer equals credibility, and likes don't equal leverage.

In this episode, I share with you a concept that I call Authority Capital - the new operating system for influence. You'll learn how to turn expertise into trust assets that scale beyond your presence: frameworks, systems, and stories that compound over time. Perfect for founders, executives, and leaders preparing for succession, exit, or board influence.

• The Authority Capital Pyramid: Clarify → Communicate → Commercialise
