The Live Stream Show

✨ Ready to stand out — without feeding the content machine? 

The internet's louder than ever.But real experts — the ones who've built trust, results, and reputation offline — are getting drowned out by the content machine.If you've ever thought:“I know I'm great at what I do. But online? I feel invisible… or like I have to perform to be seen.”This new season of The Standout Business Show is for you.In this kickoff episode, I'm sharing: ✅ Why I'm shifting the show's focus this season ✅ The common struggles I hear from expert entrepreneurs (that most content advice ignores) ✅ How to build visibility and demand — without feeding the content machine ✅ What you can expect in this new season: Less Hustle, More MojoBecause becoming unforgettable doesn't take more hustle.It takes more mojo — and a smarter way to show up.

We've all heard it:“Vertical video performs best on mobile.” “More screen space = more attention.” “That's what everyone's doing on TikTok, so it must work on LinkedIn too... right?”Well, not so fast.In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I'm breaking down a $140,000 ad experiment that might completely flip your video strategy on its head.LinkedIn ad expert AJ Wilcox and video producer Chandler Quinton ran controlled A/B tests across vertical, square, and horizontal video formats — and the results? Let's just say vertical isn't the star of the show.We're diving into:The surprising format that outperformed all others (yes, even on mobile!)Why horizontal video might actually help you stand out as an expert on LinkedInThe design psychology and behavior cues that affect content performanceHow to repurpose your most valuable video content for maximum impactAnd why following video trends can sometimes damage your authorityResourcesIf you've been stuck repurposing content in formats that aren't delivering — or chasing trends that don't align with how you want to show up — this episode is your permission to do things differently (and smarter).

If you want to stand out, you can't follow the rules of mainstream marketing. We've all been told that you need to be a more polished, performative, camera ready version of yourself… before you can show up.I think that's wrong—and I'm going to show you why. You don't need to be “camera ready” to start showing up, you need a new way to be seen.In this episode of The Standout Business Show, we're breaking down one of the biggest myths holding expert entrepreneurs back from building visibility—and revealing why being yourself might be the most powerful content strategy you've never fully embraced.If you've ever said: – “I'm not great on camera” – “I don't like how I look or sound” – “I'm not sure I'm cut out for video” …this episode will reframe everything.We'll talk about: – The hidden belief holding most experts back from visibility – Why scripting, prepping, and performing often make things worse – How to unlock your real presence and turn it into magnetic video content – The truth about where confidence really comes from (hint: it's not perfection)This is the shift from “I hope I'm doing this right” to “Oh wow, that's me—and it works.”If you're the best-kept secret in your industry, it's time to change that.Because when you start showing up in your zone of genius—with clarity, confidence, and the right content—your ideal clients won't just notice you.They'll choose you. If you're the best-kept secret in your industry, it's time to change that.

Before anyone buys from you, they need to believe.Not just in your offer—but in themselves, their problem, the possibility of change, and the method you use to get them there.That's the idea behind the Chain of Beliefs—a simple but powerful framework that can turn your videos, your content, and your messaging into a client-converting machine.In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I'm pulling back the curtain and showing you exactly how I applied the Chain of Beliefs to my own offer—Mic Drop Moments—with the help of my CMO-in-your-pocket (aka ChatGPT).Here's what you'll learn:What the Chain of Beliefs is—and why it's the key to marketing that actually worksThe 5 belief categories your audience must adopt before they'll say yesA behind-the-scenes look at how I identified my audience's belief gapsHow you can use this same framework to clarify your content strategy and guide your audience toward buyingIf you've ever felt like your content is scattered, or your audience just isn't “getting it,” this episode will give you the clarity you've been missing.

When the economy gets shaky, most business owners go into hiding — cutting back, pulling in, and hoping to ride it out.But here's the thing about holding back:

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.You'll hear about reverse benchmarking, a concept from U.K. marketer Rory Sutherland, and how it helped one restaurant redefine their service by focusing on what others were neglecting. Instead of copying what others were doing best, they leaned into what wasn't being done—and turned it into their competitive advantage.I'll also share how I've applied this strategy to Mic Drop Moments, my video marketing service, to serve clients who are being underserved by the market. This approach has allowed me to carve out a unique space in a crowded industry and help clients get visible without competing on the same tired strategies.So if you're tired of following the herd and want a more strategic way to stand out, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how to rethink your approach and make your competition irrelevant.ResourcesBuild your brand on social media effortlessly: Learn more about Mic Drop MomentsIf you're the best-kept secret in your industry, it's time to change that.

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 high-level service providers are networking the wrong way.The real key to building a powerful network isn't more connections—it's more clarity and focus.In this episode, we dive into: 

You've probably heard it a thousand times:If you want to grow your brand, you need to post content everywhere, every day: Blog posts. Instagram. LinkedIn. YouTube. Email. It's a never-ending cycle. And if you're not showing up constantly, you might as well be invisible… right?Well, I'm here to tell you—that's a myth. More content doesn't mean more clients. In fact, creating too much content might actually be hurting your business.(because you're spending all your time on social media - instead of working on your business)So in this episode, I'm showing why the content gerbil wheel is a waste of your time—And how you can replace it with a smarter, more strategic way to attract high-quality leads that come pre-sold and ready to buy. Stay tuned because this is going to change the way you think about content...ResourcesNew Masterclass!

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, they don't have to be like this. I don't want to diss webinars as a medium, because I actually think that, done properly, a lot of good can come if you're doing webinars as part of your marketing. So what if your own events could be really different? What if they could be so engaging and interactive that your attendees are leaving feeling energized and inspired? To help answer that question I've invited gamification and game learning expert Caitlin Johnson onto the show to talk about how you can not only make your next webinar more engaging - but turn it into an epic adventure! So if you're ready to create an addictive, epic webinar in 2025 - listen up! Resources:Learn how you can fill your coaching or consulting practice with 10-20 ideal clients while doing what you love most. Join the "Make Coaching Your Marketing masterclass (It's FREE!)Connect with Caitlin JohnsonThanks for listening to The Standout Business Show: Content Marketing Tips, Personal Brand Tips & Video Marketing Tips for coaches, consultants & agencies.If you liked this episode please leave us a 5 star review & share it with a friend!

My guest this week is brand strategist, Jaci Russo and my biggest takeaway from our conversation was her take on the most basic way to explain branding:“We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are.”Jaci says, Your clients don't see your company as it is. If they know of your company at all, they only see a small sliver of it from their perspective.That's why you say things like, “If prospects just understood what we do they would want our products/services.”But, you'll lose them when you try to “educate” them on who you are and how you work and why you're great.Those kinds of messages are just more noise for them to ignore.You need to understand more about your target audience, their buyer's journey, and have a message that will cut through the clutter and connect with them.You need to change the conversation & show them how you're different.Listen up because Jaci walked us through her process of building a brand that changes the conversation, via her 4-step Razor Branding process, that will help you clearly define the promise behind your brand, and help your customers more easily understand how your product or service will enhance their lives.ResourcesConnect with Jaci Russo on Linkedinwww.jacirusso.com

After you give a talk, or make a presentation, or make a video, what if no one remembers what you said? What if after all your posting on social media people don't remembers a thing you shared...? A recent study that showed that when someone posts online or gives a talk... after just 48 hours... 80% of the information is gone!Let that sink in: People can't recall 80% of what you say. Whenever you create content, if all you do is share information people remember only 20% (or less) Which begs the question, if all you're sharing is information, how are you bringing value?So what can you do to make sure folks remember what you said?Well, that's exactly what I'm covering in this episode - my simple 3-step process for ensuring that people remember you & your content and think of you the next time they need what you offer.Listen up!

It's time you got your butt on video. There, I said it. And you know it's true.  Not in the "there's only one way to market yourself and it's video" mindset. (that's a bunch of B.S.)  It's just that people need to know the person they're going to hire, they need to see the person behind the business that they're going to buy from.  If they look at your website or your social media posts and there's no video anywhere, they can't tell who you are.  ❌ They don't feel like they know you. ❌ They can't see your personality. ❌ They can't trust you yet.  But when you make something as simple as a one-minute video, all of a sudden they can see all those things - how you think, what you believe, whether or not you like cats (or maybe your a dog person) all this simple stuff that adds up to relating to another human.  And if people can't relate to you as another human, then they aren't going to buy from you.  But, I know what you're thinking: You're thinking "But video is too hard, takes too much time, costs a bunch of money - and I don't think I'm good on camera."  Well, in this episode I'm walking you through my simple 3-step process that anyone can do: ✅ that takes no time, ✅ takes no money, ✅ is super simple and can turn anyone into a relatable, trustworthy human on camera...!
