“Own your own URL. Everything else is borrowed land.”

Personal branding isn't about going viral — it's about showing up, standing out, and staying real. On this episode of Inside the Process, digital strategist, writer, and LinkedIn video pioneer Goldie Chan joins us backstage at Playbook 2024 to share how she built a globally recognized personal brand—starting with daily videos and lime green hair. We talk about gimmicks vs. substance, how to show up authentically without oversharing, and what it really takes to gain traction on LinkedIn (spoiler: it's not pods). Goldie also dishes on staying consistent, playing the long game, and why owning your own platform might be the smartest branding move you make.
