Authenticity For Speakers: Faking It Isn't Making It - Bob Gentle

Authenticity For Speakers: Faking It Isn't Making It - Bob Gentle

On relaunching my podcast and re-branding as Podfluence, I knew who I wanted as my first guest and am super grateful he agreed. Bob Gentle is not only a friend but one of the most insightful business coaches/consultants I've met. He's really well-clued into what's going on in the business world and knows a great deal about leadership branding.

I wanted to speak to Bob because he's a fellow podcaster with a show I still enjoy listening to and he's also appearing on more shows as a guest and is someone who not only believes in the power and potential of podcasting but has actively grown his business and professional authority with podcasts. Those things make him an ideal first guest for Podfluence.

In this episode we discuss:

  1. Why being really authentic is hard
  2. What makes someone charismatic
  3. The law of balance in business
  4. Is there still value in podcasting
  5. The fear of niching
  6. The #1 difference between you and the names on the books on your bookshelf

and a few other things besides.

I mentioned I'm a fan of Bob's podcast, and it's true. It's called The Personal Brand Entrepreneur Show and you can check it out here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-personal-brand-business-show-personal-branding/id1439009077

I highly recommend Bob's Facebook Group The Personal Brand Business Dojo
