The most beautiful part of the internet and personal branding in my opinion is that you get to own your value and your message. So many job seekers out there are looking to make some sort of change, but what they run into is this issue of credibility. They think that, okay, I'm changing fields and I don't have this traditional experience. Or I know I can do this job, but nobody will buy into it. And all of those things are really, really frustrating. We're only seeing more and more and more of that happen as technology progresses and as the internet expands.

Time Stamped Show Notes:
[0:30] - #AAA for October 2022
[1:15] - Jon - You said most people spend 90% applying and 10% networking and that should be reversed. Can you explain how to go about reversing that? Let's say you see a couple of jobs posted that you are interested in but have no or very few ins at the company (no direct connections working there...). Do you apply and then try to reach out to recruiters or hiring managers or how do you go about networking in this scenario?
[5:26] - Marelena - How do you think the idea of “credibility” has changed in the age of content creation and personal brand on social media?
[11:17] - Antony - For people creating a coaching program and getting clients on LinkedIn, would you recommend starting 1:1 or group format?
[14:46] - Sal - What's your advice for those who are planning to transition from full-time employees to a more fractional/coaching/entrepreneurship lifestyle?
[17:09] - Laura - How do you help people through burnout, whether in their job search or day-to-day work?
[20:52] - Shauna - What is a strong opinion you have that most people don’t agree with you on?
