So how do you cut through the noise? And that's the reason now I have really sort of focused on authority because authority is building the trust with your audience that allows them to want to do business with you.
But as a marketer, because my commonality is marketing as well, is I believe it's not just about authority, but authority marketing.

And I think it's also just refreshing to hear that you don't have to be posting five times a day and just trying to get visibility.
It really has you look inward and think, oh, what can I actually share? Where is my value? And then go from there.
