Business As Usual? No Thanks. Welcome to The Standout Business Show—the podcast for expert brands and elite service providers who want to rise above the noise, build authority, and attract premium clients. This season, we’re diving into the stories of top luxury home builders, architects, boutique law firms, and high-level consultants who’ve mastered the art of standing out. How do they position themselves as the go-to choice? What strategies actually work? And how can you do the same? I’m your host, Brad Powell. For the past 20 years, I’ve been helping authority-driven businesses turn their personal brand into profit through great video storytelling that connects and converts.—let’s get started and help you build your authority. This show provides answers to questions like; *How do I get more visibility online? *How do I grow my personal brand? *How do I stand out from the crowd? *How do I break through the noise? *How do I monetize my content marketing? *How do I use video marketing to get more clients?
What if the key to standing out wasn’t about doing things better than your competitors, but about focusing on what they’re not doing at all?
In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story from my college swimming days where trying too hard to beat the competition led me to make a costly mistake—and a crucial lesson in marketing strategy.

If you’ve ever followed the advice to “just connect with more people” in an attempt to grow your network—only to feel like you’re wasting time sending cold DMs and getting ghosted—you’re not alone.
I recently tested this strategy myself, reaching out to 20 new people per day on LinkedIn, and while I technically grew my email list by 1,000+ contacts, the quality of these connections? Pretty disappointing.
Here’s the hard truth: Most h...
You’ve probably heard it a thousand times:
If you want to grow your brand, you need to post content everywhere, every day:

It’s a never-ending cycle.
And if you’re not showing up constantly,
you might as well be invisible… right?

Sadly, the webinar world has gotten pretty stale out there.
Most webinars always seem to follow the same formula:
They hook you with a big promise and then the presenter spends most of the next 90 minutes talking about their case studies, their own background, they give you a couple of tips and it all leads to - wait for it- a sales pitch!
So you're left thinking, "Oh man, that's 90 minutes totally wasted."
But...
