No More Mondays

What does it really take to stand out online when the internet feels full of recycled content, identical advice, and templated personalities? In this episode of No More Mondays, Angie Callen sits down with Kenya Kelly—video marketing strategist, CEO of If You Create It, and one of the most recognizable voices in short-form content—to break down how creators, coaches, and entrepreneurs can build a compelling personal brand without blending into the crowd. Kenya shares how she built a massive digital presence by leaning into authenticity rather than algorithms, and why so many knowledge-based professionals unintentionally fall into the "sea of sameness." Together, they explore the practical and human sides of content creation, including how to establish your voice, how to create trust through storytelling, and how to use AI without diluting your originality. Listeners will learn: • Why authenticity is now a business advantage • How to differentiate your content in crowded markets • The difference between healthy vulnerability and oversharing • How AI can support your message without replacing your voice • Practical steps for finding your tone, ideas, and creative direction If you want content that reflects who you are—not who the algorithm wants you to be—this conversation will give you the clarity and confidence to start creating differently.
