Substack Live: Elevate Your Personal Brand With Speaking 🙌🏽

You can have the sharpest positioning in your industry and still be invisible, because nobody has ever heard you say it out loud.

I'm going live with Anjeanette Carter, founder of STRATIS Media, who helps founders, CEOs and service-based entrepreneurs turn LinkedIn into a client engine instead of a place they post into the void. 🧠

This one is 2 experts, not an interview. Anjeanette takes the brand half. I take the speaking half.

The through-line is simple: know your brand, then show your brand. 👏🏾

📅 TODAY | 4:00 PM ET, 1:00 PM PT | Online | FREE

Bring a question and we'll take it live.

Two birthdays, one day apart. 💜

Yesterday my Ammi, Imtiaz Umar, turned 82. Today my partner, Ananda Umar, turns 50.

I wrote a full tribute to each of them, because these are the 2 people who shaped how I lead, how I listen, and how I show up for everyone else. Everything I teach about connection, I learned at home first.

For my Ammi, it's the friends who called her every single day for decades.

For Ananda, it's 50 years of a person getting steadily better at being herself.

Most people building on Substack have readers. Very few have revenue.

On Thursday October 15 I'm hosting Philip Hofmacher, who went from zero to over 50,000 subscribers and more than 2,000 paying ones in under two years. He hit Substack Bestseller status in under 60 days. He's the co-founder of Write Build Scale and he's joining us from Vienna.

REGISTER HERE: https://www.thoughtleadershipbranding.club/events/

This is for anyone who has been publishing consistently, has an audience that reads and replies, and still hasn't turned any of it into income.

What we're covering (featuring Bobby Umar as host):

1⃣ The real difference between a free reader and a paying one

2⃣ How to structure a paid offer without walling off the people who supported you first

3⃣ What belongs behind the paywall, and what has to stay in front of it

4⃣ The growth mechanics that compound, and the ones that only look like they do

5⃣ How to price, when to launch, and what to do in the first 60 days

WHO IS THIS FOR: small business owners, coaches, consultants and writers who are already publishing and want the audience to start paying for itself. You don't need a big list. You need the right structure.

Thursday, October 15
4:00 PM ET
Online, free to attend

🚨 TODAY at 11am ET

When someone needs exactly what you do, are you the obvious choice? Or one of three names they're comparing on price? 🤔

That gap is where good work quietly loses out. Not on quality. On positioning.

I'm going live on Substack with Derek Hughes, who writes The Irresistible Writer to more than 8,000 subscribers and teaches writers how to turn words into income. 🙌🏽

Derek takes the audience half. I take the brand half.

We're getting into what makes someone the default choice in a crowded market, why being better is not the same as being obvious, and what to change first if you're competing on price. 🎯

🚨 STARTING AT 4pm ET TODAY‼️

The TLB Club Masterclass is BACK, and this one is a little different. 🙌🏾

Four people taught this club how to work LinkedIn DMs. Richard Moore, Candyce Edelen and Darren Gibb. Different years, different rooms, and they did not agree with each other.

Every one of them left behind ONE tip I still use in 2026.

🎯 Topic: "4 LinkedIn DM Experts, One Tip Each That Still Works"

Today I'm taking the single best tip from each of them, adding my own, and showing why all four still hold up in an inbox that is now mostly machines. 🧠

Four specific moves, not four theories. One of them takes about 10 minutes and most people have never tried it. 👏🏾

📅 TODAY | 4pm ET | Online | FREE | Open to everyone

Come with a DM that worked, or one that didn't. Bring a friend.

Most people think pricing is a number problem. It isn't. It's a clarity problem wearing a price tag.

Episode 10 of The Power of Connection is live.

I open with two clients who got it wrong in opposite directions. A therapist with 30 years of experience charging $500 for a three-hour workshop, who I later coached up to $2,500 an hour. And a speaker asking $10,000 a keynote with no speaking history, who got silence from every organizer.

Overpricing doesn't get you a no. It gets you nothing at all.

Also in here: why one offer beats five half-offers, when to publish your price, and how to handle an objection without ever discounting.

The moment you know your value, everyone else will know it too.
