The Influence Illusion: Why Your Reputation Isn’t Matching Your Results

You’ve built a powerful body of work. You’ve created IP that changes lives. You’re showing up on podcasts, LinkedIn, even in the press… and yet? You're not being recognized as the go-to authority in your industry.


In this episode, I unpack The Influence Illusion™ which is the disconnect between being seen and being sought-after. We’ll explore three hidden forces sabotaging your visibility and impact, and more importantly, I’ll share the strategic assets you need to build instead: The Influence Amplifier™, Data-Driven Diagnostic™, and Evergreen Ecosystem™—tools that elevate you beyond content chaos into sustained authority and inbound influence.
