    Maggie Sellers Reum: I Was Tired of Being Told "NO", So I Became Hot, Smart, & Rich

    Maggie Sellers Reum was the number one BDR at Salesforce when her boss pulled her into a room and told her she was "smarter than she looks," and that she'd need to change the sound of her own voice to get ahead. That moment set her on her mission. Jun sits down with Maggie - founder of Hot Smart Rich, investor, startup advisor, and creator - to talk about turning rejection into fuel, why she teaches women to never settle, and why she refuses to niche down with her content. She also gets tactical about what makes a business sellable and why ownership beats the brand-deal hamster wheel.

    Leana Deeb: I Refused to Stay in One Box (And My Audience Grew)

    Leana Deeb built an audience of 10M followers in 14 months. Then, she made the kind of pivot most creators are terrified of: she deleted everything. In this episode, Leana - creator, podcast host, and entrepreneur - talks about why she walked away from the identity everyone knew her for, how starting with a blank slate was the greatest thing that has ever happened to her career, and how staying true to her faith grew her audience instead of shrinking it. Jun and Leana also get into the parts people don’t see: watching your numbers drop, mastering detachment, staying disciplined when life gets heavy, becoming “the niche”, and the pressure of becoming successful young while taking care of your family. This one is for the creators who know they’re ready for a shift but are too scared of what they might lose.

    Chris Do: I Stopped Creating For My Followers. They Showed Up Anyway

    Step one to building a personal brand? Go see a therapist. That's where Chris Do starts: the inner work.  Jun sits down with Chris - designer, teacher, the one who's been building in the personal branding space for over a decade - and they go deep. They riff about why most personal branding advice is just a sales pitch in disguise, why Chris stopped creating for his audience and they showed up anyway, and how caring less about what other people thought made him more respected.  Then, Chris runs a personal branding masterclass, starting with how to find your origin story, breaking everything you know into 5 pillars, never running out of content, and his take on pricing that'll change how you charge. Whether you’re years into building a personal brand or don’t even know where to start, you don’t want to skip this episode.

    AskCatGPT: How I Use Claude For My Content And $1M Business

    In the first episode of Creator Unplugged, Jun sits down with Cat Goetze (aka AskCatGPT) to pick her brain about building in public and using AI for both content and business.  Here's the thing: most creators are using AI wrong. Cat uses it to find her blind spots, poke holes in her own thinking, and tell her why she's wrong - and she explains how you can do the same.  She also gets into the messy behind-the-scenes of building her business "Physical Phones", the systems holding the content and the operation together, and how that first launch did $120K in pre-sales in 3 days. She then gets really tactical on her content strategy: Where her ideas come from, how she scripts and films, and why she only sells products that look good on camera. Jun and Cat also talk about how they each use Claude as creator-operators, and the parts of their work they’d never hand over to AI.  Chapters: 00:00 Intro 02:00 What building in public really means04:05 Where Physical Phones came from08:57 The pressure behind a $100K launch14:03 Sourcing, 3PLs & the first hires18:45 Separating the brand from the business23:40 Customer trust, weekly "cat calls" & email updates28:41 Ideating content that converts33:38 Starting on camera at age 1340:01 Taking intentional phone breaks48:04 Using AI to expose your blind spots56:43 AI on the operations side1:05:07 How creating changed her personallyIf you’re looking to level-up your AI game in your content or business, this episode is for you.
