🎙️ Embracing Video and Curiosity in Business
with Rachael Bryant | The Art of Value Whispering Podcast (episode 283)
If you're an introverted business owner, the idea of showing up on video can feel…a lot. Too visible. Too loud. Too exposed.
But as Rachael Bryant and I explore in this episode, video isn't about being "camera ready" — it's about being you, in a way that lets your future clients see, hear and feel the value you bring.
When you shift the focus from performing to connecting, video becomes far less intimidating and far more effective. And as Rachael explains beautifully, you already have everything you need to start.
Join me in this episode to learn how to make video feel natural, grounded and genuinely aligned with how you work best — even if it feels daunting right now.
