Share your scars and your journey.You'll be judged anyway, so share what's TRUE.Real > Polished. Activated energy > high production.Be polarizing. You're not pizza—you don't need to please everyone.Sean built a multimillion-dollar brand just speaking into his iPhone. No camera crew. No fancy edits.

He's got 880k followers in 2 years, but it's not because of trends.It's because he's real, consistent, and deeply connected to his why.He shares 3 times a day, 6 days a week. But he didn't start there. He began with 3 posts a week. Progress, not perfection.Here's the sauce:Authenticity + Consistency = The Algorithm's Best Friend.First 5 seconds matter.

I can do that now." - Emanuel Rose [40:25 - 40:35] On Automation and Work-Life Balance: "Well, I really am thinking about what I can automate. No matter how big of a string of activities, I want to automate all the stuff that is not creative so that I can spend more time playing my guitar and more time meditating and more time taking long walks and maintain the level of professional standards that I have." - Emanuel Rose [49:59 - 50:17] On the Chaos of Technological Change: "I'm enjoying the chaos of the moment. Now hang on. Easy does it. I'm not talking about foreign or domestic affairs or politics. I mean, we live in an age where we simply don't know what's coming. Great for curious people." - Dan Nestle [0:00 - 0:13] On the Potential of AI in Storytelling: "I think it comes down to storytelling, you know, and no, I mean, AI could tell a story. You give it a framework, right? Say, hey, I want you to follow this framework. But is there that innate capability There isn't yet to outpace humans or outdo humans in this idea of storytelling, whether it's creative storytelling or brand storytelling." - Dan Nestle [38:02 - 38:22]   Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Emanuel Rose Emanuel Rose | Website Strategic eMarketing | Website Books by Emanuel Rose | Website Emanuel Rose | LinkedIn   Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)
