Ep.008: For When You're Ready to Be More Visible

Last week, Afternoon Culture hosted a workshop in LA that sparked an honest and vulnerable conversation about showing up. During a discussion on what makes a brand truly stand out, someone asked, “Do I need to be visible as the CEO of my company?” The room went quiet, and in that moment, it became clear how many founders and creatives are quietly asking the same question.

This episode explores the tension many founders and creatives feel between wanting to lead boldly and fearing what it means to truly be seen.

Kat shares the journey of building Afternoon Culture and what it took to move from staying behind the scenes to leading with intention and voice. From early doubts and quiet beginnings to powerful feedback that helped shape the path forward, she reflects on what it really means to build a brand that reflects who you are.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your story matters or felt unsure about taking up space as the face of your company or creative project, this episode is for you.

For the Trailblazers is produced by the Afternoon Culture team. Kat Araujo is the Host & Co-Producer & Bryan Kastelan is the Co-Producer & Editor.
