Visit https://growthday.com/ed. This show is sponsored by GrowthDay. What if the key to explosive growth isn’t perfection, but letting people see the real you? In this episode, I sit down with Josh Richards, Jenna Kutcher, Bethenny Frankel, Amy Purdy, and Billy Gene to break down what it really takes to build a brand that connects and converts in today’s noisy social media world. We share the behind-the-scenes truths about consistency, documenting your journey, and the power of showing up authentically, even when you think no one is watching. Josh Richards shares how he went from an ordinary kid with an iPhone 5 to building a 30-million-follower brand by outworking everyone else, while Jenna Kutcher reveals how stepping away from perfection allowed her audience to see her heart, not just a highlight reel. Bethenny Frankel talks about ignoring the noise, following your gut, and building your brand from the inside out, while Amy Purdy reminds us that our true story is what people actually want to connect with. Billy Gene lays it down on why your imperfections are what make people trust you and why the entrepreneurs who win are those willing to start small, work for free, and play the long game. I’ve spent years building my brand, and let me tell you: this conversation will remind you that your edge is your authenticity, your consistency, and your willingness to put your story out there—imperfect, real, and relatable. Stop overthinking, stop waiting for the perfect camera or the perfect moment, and start documenting your journey. If you’ve ever wondered how to get people to care about your message, your business, and your brand, this episode is your roadmap. The truth is, you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start, stay consistent, and let people in. That’s how we build brands that last, that impact, and that give us the freedom we’re after. Let’s stop trying to be perfect and start letting people root for us, exactly as we are. Key Takeaways: - Why documenting your journey beats trying to be perfect on social media - Josh Richards’ consistency formula: 5 posts a day and 4-hour livestreams that built a 30M audience - Jenna Kutcher’s reminder to let your audience see your heart, not just your highlight reel - Bethenny Frankel’s approach to building a brand from the inside out and staying aligned with your values - Amy Purdy on using your story as your brand’s biggest asset - Billy Gene’s practical reminder that your imperfections are what build trust - Why consistency, authenticity, and shareable content are your social media growth trifecta If you’re ready to build a brand and a life that reflects who you really are and attracts people who believe in your mission, this episode will get you moving.
