Episode Description

You’ve been called inspiring, kind, amazing.People admire you—but they don’t hire you.


In this bold episode of Mindset Medicine, we’re naming what most people never say out loud:


Being liked is not the same as being seen as the solution. And if you’re not careful, your likability is keeping you broke, overlooked, and under-referred.


I’m sharing the full story—from life-threatening health crises to building and selling businesses across countries—and what it taught me about visibility, messaging, and the cost of being too helpful.


You’ll learn:

✔ Why being “inspiring” is no longer enough

✔ How to shift from admired to hired

✔ The subtle language mistakes that make you sound unsure

✔ The ASK Framework to position yourself with authority

✔ How to create a strategic identity that attracts actual business


If you’re done with being the most talented, trusted person in the room who keeps getting passed over—this episode is for you.
