In this episode, I sat down with my good friend and image consultant Jonathan M. Hall to talk about one of the most slept-on parts of your brand: how you show up.

And no—we’re not just talking about clothes. We’re talking about presence. Energy. How people experience you before you ever say a word.

You can post every day and say all the right things, but if your image doesn’t match your message, people will feel the disconnect. Jonathan and I dug into how your appearance, posture, grooming, and even your mindset are shaping your brand—whether you realize it or not.

We talked about:

• The psychology behind first impressions (and how fast they happen)
• Why what you wear does matter—and how to still be you
• The difference between authenticity and unawareness
• How to command a room without saying a word
• The biggest things people get wrong about personal style and branding
• Why investing in your image is not a luxury—it’s a strategy

If you’ve ever felt like your content is solid but your brand still isn’t breaking through, this is probably the episode you needed.

Let me know what stood out in the comments. And if this helped you think differently about your image—share it with someone still stuck in “play clothes” mode.
