Summary

What’s the real cost of internet fame? In this episode, Chris and Jodie Cook break down the hidden pressures of building a big online audience—relentless DMs, parasocial fans, and the constant demand for time and attention. You’ll learn how to set boundaries, use automation to manage inbox overload, and price coaching calls in a way that protects your energy while increasing client results. Jodie also shares the challenges of authenticity online, the perks (and pitfalls) of recognition, and why clear systems are key to thriving in the spotlight. This is a must-listen for creators, founders, and coaches who want to grow without burning out.

So I would love to talk about if we're all building our personal brands and if we're all getting internet famous, then what is at the top of this mountain?

0:10.7

And I feel like you have answers as to what's at the top of this mountain.

0:15.1

I think I have some answers. I'm getting more answers as things grow.

0:19.8

But I guess ultimately, if we're all working towards it, do we want what's at the top of the mountain?

0:25.1

Do we really grasp what's there, what happens, what it means?

0:29.1

And so I would just love that to be the topic that we deep play on.

1:11.6

I would run out of time.

1:13.2

There's no hours in the day to be able to do this.

1:15.8

Therefore, it's almost easier just to ignore everyone than to like choose who you respond to.

1:22.4

1:23.4

And then also other friends who are getting famous for their work have then had either

1:31.6

really amazing cool experiences or some really strange experiences.

1:36.6
