If you’re an expert entrepreneur or service-based business owner, here’s the Mic Drop Truth:
People don’t buy from the best brand. They buy from the brand they trust.

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I’ll show you five simple types of videos that instantly build trust and buying confidence with your future clients—without chasing trends or performing for the algorithm.

🎥 The 5 Video Types That Send Powerful Trust Signals:

• Clarity Videos – “Here’s what we believe. Here’s how we help.”
• Proof Videos – “Here’s what working with us looks like.”
• Presence Videos – “Here’s who you’ll be talking to.”
• Transparency Videos – “Here’s what others won’t show you.”
• Relatability Videos – “Here’s who I really am.”

When you send the right trust signals, your next client already feels like they know you—before they ever book a call.

This week we’re diving into the one marketing skill most expert businesses are still ignoring…

👉 And it’s not ads. 

👉 It’s not shouting louder or going viral. 

It’s showing up in a way that others won't on video so you become the most known and trusted brand in your field.

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I sit down with bestselling author and trust-building trailblazer Marcus Sheridan—the author of They Ask, You Answer and Endless Customers—to unpack why the future of marketing isn’t about louder content... it’s about radical transparency and human connection.

We dive into:
 ✅ Why 82% of all internet traffic being video is your wake-up call
 ✅ The single habit that separates the top 5% of businesses from the 95%
 ✅ How showing what others won’t (on video) gives you an unbeatable edge
 ✅ The "self-service revolution" that's rewriting how customers buy
 ✅ Why becoming your own media company isn’t optional anymore

Marcus doesn’t just preach content strategy—he built the fastest-growing pool company in the U.S. by showing everything his competitors were afraid to reveal.

If you're an expert, consultant, or service provider trying to grow your business in a crowded market… this conversation will change how you think about marketing forever.

Stay until the end for the #1 question Marcus asks every business owner about their content—and why it might be the most profitable question you ever answer.

Being relatable does.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why “professional” is not the same as powerful
✅ What makes videos memorable (even without the gear)

You don’t need to go viral.

You don’t need a trending sound, a big production budget, or a complicated funnel strategy.

Because the most powerful way to grow demand for your business?

👉 It’s one honest, human conversation at a time.

In this episode, I’ll show you why trust, not reach, is the foundation of a standout personal brand — and how short-form video can amplify the trust you’re already building behind closed doors.

Whether you’re on a call with a client, answering a common question, or sharing your take on something that matters — those real moments are your most valuable content assets.

And if you're thinking:
“I’m not sure I’m ready to be the face of my brand…”
“I don’t have time to create new content every day…”

This episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why scaling your content won’t help if you’re not scaling trust
• How to turn everyday conversations into powerful marketing assets
• Why you don’t need to be a performer — just a professional who listens well
• How expert entrepreneurs are earning attention without the content machine

🎯 Belief Shift:
You don’t need more content.
You need more conviction.
And the simplest way to build it — is to let people see you doing what you do best.

This is your permission to stop performing and start showing up.

What if the real reason your content isn’t landing has nothing to do with the algorithm—and everything to do with how you’re showing up?

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, we break down the attention revolution happening right now—and what expert entrepreneurs can learn from a surprising source: a grassroots political campaign in New York City.

Zohran Mamdani didn’t have a massive budget, party backing, or name recognition. But he crushed his opponent—a former governor—by doing one thing most expert brands aren’t doing: earning attention instead of buying it.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why traditional visibility strategies are failing
• How to use short-form video the way it’s meant to work
• The power of platform-native storytelling (and how to apply it to your brand)
• The simplest format you can borrow from Mamdani’s campaign right now
• Why listening is the most underrated marketing strategy today

This isn’t about politics. It’s about learning how attention actually works today—and using that to position your expertise in a way that breaks through the noise.

🎙 Plus, hear the powerful “man-on-the-street” clip that helped turn Mamdani’s campaign into a viral movement—and how you can apply the same principle to your own message.

📍Whether you’re building your authority on LinkedIn or looking for your next high-value client, this episode will help you rethink the way you show up… and how to make people actually care.

The internet’s louder than ever.

But real experts — the ones who’ve built trust, results, and reputation offline — are getting drowned out by the content machine.
