Personal Branding Expert Reveals How to Stand Out in an AI era

What happens when the one skill standing between you and career resilience isn't your expertise, your credentials, or your network — but your willingness to show up imperfectly, consistently, and publicly in a world that rewards the confident over the competent?

In this episode of The Exit Interview | On Air, hosts Shana Ayabe and Kisha Imani Cameron sit down with Goldie Chan, the original OG of LinkedIn personal branding, LinkedIn Top Voice, author of Personal Branding for Introverts, and motivational speaker who has built an empire by teaching people how to stand out in an AI saturated world.

From posting 800+ consecutive daily videos to negotiating offers most people leave on the table, Goldie shares the exact personal branding strategy she used to stand out when no one believed LinkedIn video would work.
