Transcript excerpt

Gary Vee, the king of prediction said the next big shift in personal branding is going to be the rise of the individual empire, and we're already seeing this happen. Let's take junior who started making content around how to study when he was doing biomedical engineering. That audience has now followed him as he's launched his better college and his storytelling challenge, which is now a multimillion dollar business. We can also look at people like Jessie Jean, who started her new personal brand around career confusion, making money, and even flipping furniture, but she also genuinely wanted to become a better communicator, which has now led to her Yap challenge generating $5,000,000 through multiple launches. Their content didn't stay stuck on the thing that originally built them an audience. They evolved their content and their audience evolved with them. So you don't have to pick a niche and talk about it for the rest of your life. Build trust around something you are genuinely interested in. Become no.
