    Authenticity Isn’t a Buzzword, It’s a Business Model
    Jul 8 2025

    What if the smartest pitch you ever sent didn’t sound smart at all—but sounded real?

    In a world where inboxes are flooded with AI-polished messages, Lauren Passell makes a strong case for going the other way: writing like a human, listening like a fan, and leading with a story—not a sales hook. This episode unpacks how to stand out by showing up differently, not louder.

    Your reputation is your most valuable asset — but also the most fragile.

    In today’s world, a single tweet, leaked email, or bad headline can trigger a crisis faster than you can hit "refresh." But reputation isn’t just about avoiding scandal — it’s about building trust, culture, and resilience before anything goes wrong.
