    authenticity vs performance: when influencers stop 'influencing'

    Perhaps, the true currency of a personal brand is authenticity. A label might get you impressions and trust initially, but it’s ultimately verifiable. Authenticity holds real value. It’s what keeps people relevant long after the trend has faded. 🎙️ Follow Between The Covers ⭐️ Follow Mia Resources mentioned: authenticity is too expensive the lost art of authenticity Have A Sip: Cuộc Sống Là Một Chuỗi Những Bài Kiểm Tra | Dương Ngọc Trinh How To Build A Personal Brand Before It's Too Late ft Chris Do Chapters: 00:00 intro + episode premise 02:25 recent online discourse around influencers in Vietnam 05:26 wtf is authenticity? 07:53 to be authentic is to look shame dead in the eye 11:00 building a personal brand means coming back to the source 13:45 internet persona + social media niches 15:25 the downside of being a lifestyle influencer 17:25 does being authentic mean oversharing? 20:10 the real currency of a personal brand

    the art of beginning anyway

    Fear is the antithesis to curiousity. Sometimes, to grow is to decide to 'just ship it', and to become something is to act like we are that thing. 🎙️ Follow Between The Covers ⭐️ Follow Mia Resources mentioned: What Is Imposter SyndromeImposter Syndrome As Defined By Dr Gabor MatéWhere Does Imposter Syndrome Come From & Why It MattersImposter Syndrome Is The Price of Showing UpDavid Larbi, Mindful Moments Podcast Episode 58James Clear, Atomic HabitsRick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way Of BeingBravata, D.M., Watts, S.A., Keefer, A.L. et al. Prevalence, Predictors, and Treatment of Impostor Syndrome: a Systematic Review. J GEN INTERN MED 35, 1252–1275 (2020).
