## Resource

What does it take to build a voice that people trust, remember, and want to keep coming back to? In this milestone 400th episode, I reflect on eight years of podcasting and share the lessons I've learned from building one of the top-ranked podcasts in the world. I also reveal what surprised me most when I analyzed the success of the podcast, along with the criticism. I walk through the ten qualities I believe create a top 1% voice, from consistency, thought leadership, and selling with purpose to handling criticism, trusting your gifts, and staying connected to the people you're here to serve. You'll also hear why I believe your voice is an investment, how embracing imperfection helps you grow, and why your biggest ideas will inevitably challenge someone. I also share the mindset that has kept me creating for eight years, what I've learned from both praise and criticism, and why building an impactful voice is about far more than creating content. Whether you have a podcast, write online, coach clients, or simply want your ideas to carry more weight, this episode will challenge you to think differently about the power and responsibility of using your voice.
