Episode notes

In this episode, Chris Do sits down with returning guest Daniel Priestley for their fourth conversation, diving deep into what it really takes to land high-end clients and transform a creative business. Daniel explains why top-tier clients are often easier to work with than small ones, revealing the mindset shifts required to overcome insecurity and move into higher-value work.

Together, they discuss how pedigree, past experiences, and a well-crafted personal narrative become the foundation of building credibility. Daniel also teaches the value of cataloging your wins, numbers, and stories—assets most creatives overlook while chasing the “next thing.” Their conversation sets the tone for anyone who wants to step into the role of a true key person of influence.
