Work of Art by Rachel Bell

Rachel Bell

Welcome to WORK OF ART - hosted by Rachel Bell (aka - me). I teach the art, science, and magic of building a personal brand that allows you to get paid for who you are, not just what you do. I've built an $8M brand using my creativity and imagination — along with the principles of influence, magnetism, and marketing. In this podcast, I'll show you how you can do the same thing. Let's make your brand - and life - into a work of art. xx

  1. Your Personal Brand Playbook of 2026

    Your Personal Brand Playbook of 2026

    I'm showing you how to build a magnetic brand and a bank account using your creative genius—no more building your brand backwards by chasing viral hooks while losing your soul to the AI noise of 2026. In this episode, I'm giving it to you clean with a bottom-up approach that focuses on your roots so your creative fruits can actually sustain themselves. Buckle in, because we're moving past the surface-level shizz to dive into the six foundational pieces—like personal mythology, brand archetypes, and real-ass magnetism—that turn your brand into a compounding investment and ensure you get paid the most for what comes easiest to you. I break down why the traditional "top-down" approach of focusing on tactics and aesthetics alone leads to a seething sense of incongruence and vanity metrics that don't equate to revenue. I share how to address the root of your brand by moving from performing for the masses to niching down and communicating your true essence.  Listen in as I share the six-part framework I use inside Creator Catalyst to help you stop chasing trends and start building a brand that is a compounding investment for your entire life. Here's a glance at what you'll learn from me in this episode: •    The Bottom-Up Philosophy: Why addressing the somatic roots of your brand is non-negotiable before you ever touch a posting schedule. •    Personal Mythology: How to use storytelling—the most ancient human technology—to build a world where your audience finds belonging. •    Philosophy and Principles: Why being polarizing and standing for your anti-values is exactly what creates deep trust and magnetism. •    Magnetism and Paradox: How to combine universal archetypes with your personality "plot twists" to become completely unforgettable. •    The Genius Trifecta: Identifying your medicine, skills, and mastery so you can get paid the most for what comes easiest to you. •    The Triple Threat Content Method: A system of Authority, Artistry, and Audience posts to keep you energized instead of exhausted. Timestamps: •    00:00 – Introduction •    01:17 – Why most people build brands backwards and end up with zero community. •    05:16 – Front stage vs. back stage self: The high cost of brand incongruence. •    07:54 – Element 1: Personal Mythology and the ancient technology of storytelling. •    16:23 – Element 2: Using philosophies and principles to transform from a vendor to a thought leader. •    19:39 – Why standing for your anti-values is required for deep trust. •    21:50 – Element 3: Magnetism—Universal Archetypes meets the multi-dimensional paradox. •    25:19 – The Alex Hormozzi Case Study: Why the "Gym Bro" paradox is magnetic. •    28:14 – Element 4: Identifying your Zone of Genius (Medicine, Skills, and Mastery). •    34:14 – Element 5: Signature Style and the visual identity blueprint. •    36:44 – Element 6: The Triple Threat Content Flow: Authority, Artistry, and Audience. •    40:17 – Building a brand that doesn't require a rebrand every six months.

  2. I'm ACTUALLY back this time....bitches

    FEB 2

    I'm ACTUALLY back this time....bitches

    If the title feels aggressive, good—I'm actually back, bitches, and I missed the living sh*t out of this. It's 2026, and we are officially done with the era where work equals suffering; the only sane option left is to turn your business into a masterpiece. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my radical healing journey, why I killed "Payday with Rayray" to launch Work of Art, and how you can survive the current "trust recession" by treating your brand like world-building. Buckle in, because I'm about to show you how to resurrect your inner artist and get paid for your creative genius before I peace out for motherhood (yep, there's a baby bump involved). Here's a glance at what you'll learn from me in this episode: The Rebrand: Why I shifted from "Payday" to "Work of Art" and why treating your business like an art project is the secret to longevity. The "Trust Recession": Why buyers are skeptical, why connection is the only currency that matters in 2026, and how to build it through a screen. World Building: How to view your personal brand like a fantasy novel (think Harry Potter) to create a community that people never want to leave. The Root System: Why most people fail at branding by focusing on the fruit (money/content) instead of the roots (who you intrinsically are). The Big Announcement: The details on my pregnancy, my upcoming RETIREMENT, and why this is your last chance to work with me. Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 00:53 - Aggressively returning to the podcast and the table flip of 2023. 03:42 - Why work can be your heaven or your hell, and choosing to make it art. 09:00 - Resurrecting your inner artist 14:50 - The irony of my financial success 18:24 - The Trust Recession: Why shortcuts are destroying influence and how connection saves it. 21:25 - Personal Branding as World Building: Creating a universe for your community. 23:50 - Creator Catalyst: The mastermind for the face of the business. 27:55 - The Plot Twist: I'm pregnant, expecting in May, and retiring (again).
