Standout Business Show — Video Marketing, Personal Branding & Content Marketing Strategy for Your Expert Business

Brad Powell

The internet doesn’t reward expertise. It rewards noise. 😱 That’s why so many real experts stay hidden online while the loudest, less experienced voices grab all the attention. 🫠 The usual fixes, posting more, chasing trends, outsourcing your voice, only make you blend in, not stand out. You don’t need more content, you need more trust. And the best way to earn it is by turning your lived expertise into authentic, relatable video that makes you the most known & trusted authority in your field. ❌ This is not a podcast about how to grow your social media following. ❌ This is not a podcast about becoming a content creator. ❌ This is not a podcast about hacking the algorithm. It's a show for expert entrepreneurs who want to: ✅ Build trust without becoming a performing monkey on TikTok. ✅ Share their ideas without sounding like everyone else. ✅ Turn their lived experience into their greatest marketing asset. If you’re an expert entrepreneur who wants to be seen as the go-to authority, without chasing trends or becoming a content creator, this show is for you. Every week, I’ll show you how to turn your lived experience into trust-building video that feels real, effortless, and impossible to ignore. I’m Brad Powell, and this is The Standout Business Show.Let’s put your voice where it belongs: front and center. Hosted by Brad Powell Video branding architect + creator of The Standout Expert System™ & The Mic Drop Flywheel™ — helping experts turn everyday conversations into high-authority, trust-building content.

    201. The One Strategy Every Video-First Brand Is Using Now

    This week we’re diving into the one marketing skill most expert businesses are still ignoring… 👉 And it’s not ads.  👉 It’s not shouting louder or going viral.  It’s showing up in a way that others won't on video so you become the most known and trusted brand in your field. In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I sit down with bestselling author and trust-building trailblazer Marcus Sheridan—the author of They Ask, You Answer and Endless Customers—to unpack why the future of marketing isn’t about louder content... it’s about radical transparency and human connection. We dive into:  ✅ Why 82% of all internet traffic being video is your wake-up call  ✅ The single habit that separates the top 5% of businesses from the 95%  ✅ How showing what others won’t (on video) gives you an unbeatable edge  ✅ The "self-service revolution" that's rewriting how customers buy  ✅ Why becoming your own media company isn’t optional anymore Marcus doesn’t just preach content strategy—he built the fastest-growing pool company in the U.S. by showing everything his competitors were afraid to reveal. If you're an expert, consultant, or service provider trying to grow your business in a crowded market… this conversation will change how you think about marketing forever. Stay until the end for the #1 question Marcus asks every business owner about their content—and why it might be the most profitable question you ever answer.

    198. The Attention Advantage: What Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign Can Teach You About Standing Out

    What if the real reason your content isn’t landing has nothing to do with the algorithm—and everything to do with how you’re showing up? In this episode of The Standout Business Show, we break down the attention revolution happening right now—and what expert entrepreneurs can learn from a surprising source: a grassroots political campaign in New York City. Zohran Mamdani didn’t have a massive budget, party backing, or name recognition. But he crushed his opponent—a former governor—by doing one thing most expert brands aren’t doing: earning attention instead of buying it. Inside this episode, you’ll learn: Why traditional visibility strategies are failingHow to use short-form video the way it’s meant to workThe power of platform-native storytelling (and how to apply it to your brand)The simplest format you can borrow from Mamdani’s campaign right nowWhy listening is the most underrated marketing strategy todayThis isn’t about politics. It’s about learning how attention actually works today—and using that to position your expertise in a way that breaks through the noise. 🎙 Plus, hear the powerful “man-on-the-street” clip that helped turn Mamdani’s campaign into a viral movement—and how you can apply the same principle to your own message. 📍Whether you’re building your authority on LinkedIn or looking for your next high-value client, this episode will help you rethink the way you show up… and how to make people actually care. 🎯 Want to create Mic Drop Moment videos that turn strangers into dream clients and elevate you as the most sought-after brand in your market? 👉 Book your Standout Call here: https://standoutcall.com Because when you start showing up with clarity, confidence, and the right content—your ideal clients won't just notice you.
