What happens when you stop consuming and start creating?
In this conversation, Daniel shares how he overcame the fear of being judged online and began building a public presence while developing an AI-focused business. We talk about the uncomfortable early stage of creating content, why you do not need to have your whole business figured out before you begin, and how a small audience can become powerful digital capital.
We also unpack building in public, learning what actually holds people’s attention, using your audience to understand what they need and why the fastest way to get better is to be willing to start badly.
If you have been sitting on an idea, feeling stuck in your career, or waiting until you feel “ready” to post this episode is for you.
