Episode Summary

Vinnie Potestivo — Emmy Award Winning Media Advisor & Content Strategist, Talent Brand Expert, and host of “I Have a Podcast” — joins Connor to talk about the value of a LinkedIn presence, showing up with opportunities, and creating content with purpose. Learn about “strategic luck,” the reciprocal nature of relationships and opportunities, and building a talent brand.

Key Takeaways

Relationships and opportunities are interrelated. Opportunities arise from relationships and vice versa. You can build strong professional relationships from every opportunity.
Success requires more than making something good. You have to talk about it and promote it and amplify it and distribute it. You have to be willing to demonstrate pride in your work and seek recognition for it.
You always have two points for negotiation — or renegotiation. One is license, who is allowed to use creative content and how; the other is personal brand, and the more you build your personal brand, the more leverage you create for yourself and your content.
