Key Quotes & Takeaways:
"It's going to take an awful lot more for me to rally behind a logo than it is for me to rally behind a person."
"That's probably the direction you should be going, reframing imposter syndrome, not as an alarm, but as a beacon, because it's only going to be triggered by the things that are genuinely thought leadership."
"A lot of people will tell you you should, you should, as an expert business, position your business for somebody that's a bit like you or perhaps a step behind. And I think that's terrible advice."
"I would look at the platform that I feel most aligned with, most comfortable, and that has already demonstrated some embers of success for me."
