Positioning, Packaging, and the Power of Being You

Sometimes the best blueprint for your life comes from watching how someone else wins by simply being themselves.

Show Notes

In today's Shark Theory, Baylor shares an unexpected encounter on South Congress in Austin—a young author selling books outside a coffee shop whose authenticity, positioning, and presentation ended up teaching a masterclass in personal branding.

What starts as curiosity turns into lessons on how to position yourself where your audience naturally gathers, why authenticity is your most valuable marketing asset, and how the way you "package" yourself determines how people experience your work before they even hear your story.

This episode is a reminder that sometimes the right move isn't following industry norms—it's following who you actually are.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your positioning matters more than your pitch

• How authenticity naturally attracts your real tribe

• Why people buy the energy before they buy the product

• How to "wrap yourself" in a way that elevates your perceived value

• The power of adding personal, meaningful touches to your work
