No One Does Things Like You

May 7, 2026 · 19 min

Show notes

The market's not saturated & you're not late. Don't let the fear of being one of ten thousand people doing the same thing stop you from creating. Very few industries are monopolies, and yet every one thrives in its own way. Consider fitness influencers; people (often without training) shipping the same 100 exercises combined in marginally different ways and making millions building a brand around it. The content and your credentials and how many others are doing the "same thing" doesn't really matter, because no-one possibly can be doing things like YOU.

In this episode we talk about imposter syndrome, feeling behind, how to be brave enough to show up authentically, and what's actually stopping your audience from finding you.
