Your personal brand isn’t what you post — it’s what you carry. In this episode of Leading You, I’m joined by Vinisha Rathod, founder of P3 Studio and author of The Briefcase Effect, for a powerful and refreshing conversation about personal brand as a form of self-leadership — not performance. Vinisha introduces her signature framework: Unpack → Carry → Amplify, guiding us to take stock of the habits, relationships, and mindset we bring into every room. Instead of building a brand for others, she shows us how to curate what supports you, so you become a magnet for aligned opportunities — and a gentle deterrent to what no longer fits. We explore the role of boundaries, friendship audits, and even your internal “hormone squad” — dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins — as part of the energy and presence you carry. From how you introduce yourself, to how you show up online, this episode is a call to rethink the signals you send — and take back ownership of how you lead. In this episode, we cover: Why personal brand is really about self-leadership, not polish The Briefcase Effect framework: Unpack, Carry, Amplify How to audit your habits, friendships, and support systems The science of the “hormone squad” and how it affects your energy A powerful reframe for answering the question: “What do you do?” Why consistency, relatability, and intention matter more than perfection How to attract aligned opportunities by being who you already are Actions & Reflection Prompts: What are you currently carrying in your “briefcase”? Which habits, people, or beliefs are supporting you — and which are draining you? How are you showing up online, and does it reflect who you really are?

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! In the episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses the importance of a structured off-season for athletes to avoid performance regression. He emphasizes the need for consistent, lighter training rather than complete shutdown or high-volume base building. Dixon highlights the significance of maintaining rhythm, technique, and strength during the off-season to ensure better performance in the next season. He advocates for focusing on specific projects, such as improving technique or building strength, and stresses the importance of organizational effectiveness and supporting habits like sleep and nutrition. Dixon concludes by encouraging athletes to view the off-season as a performance accelerator rather than a break.

Eric features a conversation with Gary Vaynerchuk advising small to medium-sized business owners, particularly those in niche outdoor living spaces, on effective social media strategies. He emphasizes the importance of IRL (in-real-life) live streaming, consistent multi-platform posting, and amplifying organically successful content with paid media. Gary also highlights the shift towards interest-based media, encouraging businesses to share content about their personal passions—even if seemingly unrelated—to attract high-net-worth clients, as these diverse interests can create unexpected connection points and leads. Finally, he advises against fixating on follower counts, advocating instead for a focus on crafting compelling content and flowing with the momentum of successful platforms. Key Takeaways: Integrate your personal passions and diverse interests into your content strategy, as social media's "interest media" algorithms can connect you with unexpected, high-net-worth leads for your core business. Consistently post content daily across multiple social media platforms, including often-overlooked ones like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Snapchat Spotlight, to maximize reach and awareness for long-lead sales cycles. Amplify content that performs well organically with paid media, rather than spending money to promote underperforming content or focusing solely on vanity metrics. Prioritize the craft and process of content creation over fixating on specific numerical goals, allowing for natural growth and virality on platforms where your content organically flows. Build trust by being service-oriented and transparent, such as explaining who might not be an ideal client for your business, which can surprisingly make people want to hire you more.

Whether you feel called to write, lead, or build, your sober story has the power to change lives (including your own).

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! This week, we're revisiting one of the most insightful interviews we've done here on the Purple Patch Podcast. In this episode, we're exploring the topic of mature athletes. These athletes are just as ambitious and goal-driven as younger ones, but they often have a deeper and more meaningful purpose beyond winning races and setting personal records. We received a great question from a podcast listener who has participated in triathlons for over 20 years. Despite still being ambitious, she now has three kids and is seeking advice on approaching the sport from a new perspective and adjusting her training. This is a common challenge for many athletes, not just in triathlon. We've dedicated a whole show to addressing this question and hopefully, we provide helpful guidance for any mature athlete looking to optimize their mindset, strategy, and training for performance gains. The episode is divided into three parts. The first part discusses "perspective" and building a new relationship with sports. It provides context for understanding how to adjust your approach to sports and how it may differ from your younger and more competitive years.

Hey friends, Chase here. If AI has you wondering whether your work will still matter—you're not alone. The pace of change is dizzying. New tools drop daily. “Good enough” work is getting automated before you can even refresh your feed. But here's the good news: This is not the end. It's the beginning—if you choose it. The future belongs to those who lean into what machines can't replicate: your taste, your story, your weirdness, your voice. In this episode, I unpack what it takes to stand out right now—not by running from the tech, but by using it while building a body of work that's unmistakably yours. Will your work still matter when everyone else is using AI to create? It's a real question. And let's be honest—it's one a lot of us are quietly asking. Every day, new tools make it easier (and faster) to generate content, art, writing, music—you name it. The machines are learning. Fast. So where does that leave you? At an advantage—if you bring your point of view to the table. Because here's the truth: AI can copy the output. But it can't copy you—your soul, your story, your weirdness, your taste. The things that made you a creative person in the first place. That's where the opportunity lives. Here's what we get into: Why your point of view is your ultimate differentiator How to make your portfolio future-proof (and unmistakably yours) The shift from pressing buttons to telling stories Why taste, style, and voice matter more than ever How to make work that's irreplaceable—not just impressive The big idea? Anyone can generate something. But only you can create something with heart, with history, with soul. This isn't about fearing the future. It's about shaping it—on your terms. Use the tools, yes. But lead with your voice, your vision, your humanity. Trim the generic. Amplify the real. Build a body of work that says something no AI ever could: “This is me.” Until next time—stay human, and keep creating.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Randal Pinkett. A multifaceted entrepreneur, author, speaker, and CEO of BCT Partners. Here's a breakdown of the key highlights and insights from the episode:
On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sat down with Delia Passi, a three-time exited entrepreneur, women's health advocate, and the founder and CEO of MyCabinet — a groundbreaking virtual medicine cabinet that's changing how families and caregivers manage medications. Delia's story isn't just about building a successful business. It's about transforming a deeply personal, life-threatening moment into a purpose-driven company that blends healthcare innovation with impact entrepreneurship. The Crisis That Sparked a Movement Delia's journey into healthcare technology began when her elderly mother suffered a massive heart attack while Delia was 200 miles away. In the chaos of the moment, doctors urgently needed her mother's medical history — current medications, allergies, and past adverse reactions — but Delia didn't have the information. The result was sheer terror and helplessness. “I thought I was going to kill my mother,” she recalls. That moment became a catalyst for change. Delia made a promise to God: if her mother survived, she would dedicate herself to ensuring no one else endured such a situation again. That promise became MyCabinet, a smart, virtual medicine cabinet designed to securely store, organize, and share critical medication information instantly with caregivers, healthcare providers, and family members. A Track Record of Impact Before founding MyCabinet, Delia had already made waves as the publisher of Working Mother magazine, where she championed family-friendly workplace policies and launched the “100 Best Companies for Working Mothers” list. After battling breast cancer herself, she founded WomenCertified, Inc., home of the Women's Choice Award, which helps women make informed healthcare decisions and sets rigorous standards for hospitals and providers. While proud of that work, Delia says she didn't initially view it as “purpose-driven” — it was doing good, yes, but not with the intentional integration of purpose into every business decision. MyCabinet, however, was different from the start. Building a Purpose-Driven Company Determined to align her entrepreneurial skills with a deeper mission, Delia joined Amplify, a nine-month program from the National Christian Foundation that taught her how to embed purpose into every aspect of a company. She now applies that framework to MyCabinet through four pillars: Employees – Hosting quarterly retreats with space for reflection, gratitude, and shared values, fostering a culture where faith and respect thrive across religious backgrounds. Investors – Choosing only impact investors who put people before profit and share the company's mission. Clients – Taking a holistic approach to helping healthcare partners and institutions improve patient lives, not just offering a product. Customers – Delivering peace of mind for caregivers and patients by preventing dangerous medication errors and improving health outcomes. Blue Ocean Thinking: Creating a New Market As I often share with my clients, Blue Ocean Strategy is about creating a market space where none existed before — and MyCabinet is a perfect example. There was no “smart medicine cabinet” category before Delia created it. Like the leap from standard TVs to smart TVs, MyCabinet transforms a familiar object into a connected, intelligent solution. Originally, Delia planned to sell direct-to-consumer (B2C), but quickly pivoted to a B2B2C model, partnering with large health plans, school systems, and other organizations that could deliver her product to hundreds of thousands of users at once. This strategic shift saved millions in marketing costs and accelerated adoption. Lessons for Entrepreneurs Delia's story offers powerful lessons for anyone building a purpose-driven business: Get out of your comfort zone. For Delia, that meant reaching out to politicians and leaders she didn't know, which opened unexpected doors in sectors like foster care, prison healthcare, and schools. Surround yourself with the right people. Seek advisors, investors, and partners who challenge you, support your vision, and keep your mission intact. Be prepared for the unseen. Women founders often face additional hurdles raising capital. Delia chose to navigate those challenges without compromising her values or taking on partners who didn't align with her mission. Focus on unmet needs, not just your product. MyCabinet succeeds because it solves a real, often hidden problem — the lack of accessible, accurate medication information in critical moments. Why This Matters In an era where healthcare technology is evolving rapidly, MyCabinet stands out as both a life-saving innovation and a model for how businesses can integrate purpose, profit, and impact. It's not just about managing medications — it's about protecting lives, reducing caregiver stress, and empowering families with information when they need it most. As Delia puts it, “You can build a unicorn and still be an active, purpose-driven organization.” Her journey proves that the bottom line and higher calling don't have to be at odds.

Hey friends, Chase here. Will your work still matter when everyone else is using AI to create? It's a real question. And let's be honest—it's one a lot of us are quietly asking. Every day, new tools drop that make it easier (and faster) to generate content, art, writing, music—you name it. The machines are learning. Fast. So where does that leave you? If you're a creator, this moment isn't the end. It's the beginning—if you choose it. Because here's the truth: AI can copy the *output*. But it can't copy *you*—your soul, your story, your weirdness, your taste. The things that made you a creative person in the first place. And that's where the opportunity lives. In this episode, I unpack how to stand out in the age of AI—not by competing with it, but by doubling down on what makes your work unmistakably human. Here's what we get into: Why your unique POV is now your most valuable asset How to build a portfolio AI can't replicate The difference between pressing buttons and telling stories Why taste, style, and voice matter more than ever How to make work that's irreplaceable—not just impressive The big idea? Anyone can generate something. But only you can *create* something with heart, with history, with soul. This isn't about fearing the future. It's about shaping it—on your terms. Using the tools, yes. But leading with your voice, your vision, your humanity. Because that's what will make your work matter tomorrow—even when machines are everywhere. So take a hard look at what you're making. Trim the generic. Amplify the real. And build a body of work that says something no AI ever could: *“This is me.”* Until next time—stay human, and keep creating.
