Most personal brands look the same for one boring reason:

They rent their opinions.

Not from bad people.
From the same 5 creators.
The same 3 podcasts.
The same “hot takes” that already did a full tour on LinkedIn.

So everyone ends up sounding like a remix of a remix.

Here’s what’s really happening (psychology-wise):

Borrowed opinions feel safe.
Because if it flops, you can blame the source.
“If it worked for them, it should work for me.”

Original opinions feel risky.
Because now you’re exposed.
People can disagree with you, not the idea.

That’s why most posts are either:
• Very agreeable
• Very vague
• Or “controversial” in a way that offends nobody

If you want to stand out, stop asking:

“What should I say?”

Start asking:
• What do I believe that my peers won’t say out loud?
• What do I agree with, but for a different reason?
• What did I learn the hard way that most people only repeat?
•What do I keep seeing that others keep missing?

Here’s a simple rule:

If your post could be pasted under anyone’s name, it’s not your brand.

Your personal brand isn’t your niche.

It’s your point of view, repeated long enough that people can predict you.

What’s one opinion you’ve been borrowing that you’re ready to replace with your own?

Grown several tech companies from 0 to 8 figures I Paid Social Growth Marketer I I deconstruct paid marketing so you can level up.

After 5 years in sales, I moved to marketing.

Frankly, I love it. I learned marketing by starting 2 startups and side hustles. 

Then, I found my Ikagai: Growth Marketing. I became Head of Growth at Userpilot (Grew it to 7-figures and beyond). And then, I moved to become an advisor.

Now, I have grown several tech/SaaS companies from 0 to 8 figures. Currently, I lead paid social and growth initiatives at 3 different D2C tech companies.

Scaling Brands from $3Mn to $25Mn with Meta Ads — Ads Nerd — I Create Un-Ignorable Ads To Reduce CAC

I hate being wrong.

Yesterday, a founder changed my mind about performance and ads.

He built a 7-figure brand without virality. No viral posts. No paid traffic blitz.

Just word of mouth.

The common thread? Storytelling.

He gave customers such an elevated experience they felt guilty NOT sharing it.

Most brands chase clicks and conversions. They forget the best growth lever is a customer who can't stop talking about you.

Performance ads amplify what already works. But if your product doesn't 
create stories worth repeating, you're just buying attention that disappears.

Here's what I learned:
Give people an experience so good they have to tell someone.

That's how brands are built.

Performance is the booster. Storytelling is the foundation.

I changed my mind on brand vs performance.

Turns out, storytelling comes first. Everything else follows.

Thanks to Robbie Bent for this AMAZING session. Othership is indeed of one of my favorite companies.

My 2026 tool that you can't miss as an agency is AdManage.ai.

I simply can't live without it.

How I turn one customer interview into 30+ ad variations in 30 Minutes.

I manage $100M+ in ad spend.

Here's what most brands get wrong: they create content once and use it once.

I do the opposite.

One customer interview becomes 30+ authentic ads. All in 30 minutes.

Here's how: I send customers a Riverside link. They record on their phone. I get studio-quality footage instantly.

Then Riverside’s Magic Clips feature automatically generates short-form clips. Customer testimonials. Before-and-after stories. Objection handlers. Product demos in real life.

All ad-ready. All authentic. All from one recording.

No editor needed. No file mess. Just a library of content that converts.

People crave authenticity. AI-generated content feels fake. Real customers telling real stories? That's what performs.

This is how I scale ad accounts without burning through creative budgets.
