Copy of Interview With Forbes Books - Marketing

Hi friends,

Are you tired of the "throw up in your mouth" reaction to thought leaders constantly posting content about...themselves?

Learn how to assert authority as a Servant Leader through thought leadership in a way that has a huge impact and builds trust with people.

Endorsed by retired Ford & Boeing CEO, Alan Mulally, Forbes Chairman Steve Forbes, bestselling author Sally Hogshead and EO founder Verne Harnish, The Authority Advantage challenges assumptions from leaders about personal branding & thought leadership, showing them how to build authentic visibility focused on impact, not ego to build trust in an increasingly skeptical environment – and have a lot of fun along the way.

I’ve got something exciting in the works that I can’t wait to share with you! ??? Today, I am releasing an incredible interview with FORBES BOOKS -Rusty Shelton, co-author of The Authority Advantage.

This conversation changed my perspective on influence, authority, and the real power of servant leaders who confidently use their humility when creating thought leadership—compared to elitist ego maniacs obsessed with their brand or image.

Rusty shares stories about building authentic personal brands, moving beyond ego, and why the best leaders don’t just stand behind a corporate brand—they stand alongside it. Plus, he throws in a hilarious golf story that you won’t want to miss! ?

I do these interviews in my spare time because they are in my Inspiration Zone. Connecting with thought leaders, sharing their insights with other leaders, and making new friends truly keeps me inspired and energized. ??

Also, a massive shoutout to all of you who have been supporting this community—it’s grown to over 12,000 followers on LinkedIn, filled with incredible leaders and managers, and I’m excited to keep the inspiration flowing!

Is anyone else getting turned off by thought leaders' self-promotion these days? Do you ever shy away from taking authority because you want to lead with real impact instead of ego? Let me know in the comments!
