Anti-Burnout PLAYBOOK For Personal Brands 🔥 GUEST! Caleb Ralston | Ep. 455

Most people cranking out content feel like they’re on a hamster wheel, and this one is Jay Schwedelson basically turning his own burnout into a live strategy session with Caleb Ralston . They get into why copying 400-post-a-week creators is wrecking your brain, how to reverse engineer a cadence that actually fits your life, and what it really means for a personal brand to “work.” If you care more about leads, trust, and reputation than vanity metrics, this convo will mess with how you think about content in a good way. ㅤ Check out Caleb’s free 6-hour-and-22-minute YouTube course on how to build your personal brand, grab the companion workbook by dropping your email, and use it to level up before you ever think about hiring a media team. ㅤ Best Moments: (00:16) Jay admits he “got the guy” behind some of the biggest personality-led brands because he wants to reverse engineer what actually works for personal brands. (03:00) Caleb explains why copying top creators’ insane content routines is like trying to train like the greatest athlete on day one and guarantees you will quit. (04:15) The low-volume, high-effort strategy that grew Caleb’s YouTube to over 50,000 subscribers from just seven videos by focusing on depth over constant posting. (08:58) Breaking down the Brand Journey Framework so you finally define why you are building a personal brand and what success is supposed to look like. (13:23) A behind-the-scenes example of a video designed with one job only: get talented creatives to DM Caleb so he can place them on client media teams. (16:01) Why views and followers are useful signals but become dangerous distractions when sales, conversions, and cost to acquire a customer are going the wrong way. ㅤ Check out Jay’s YOUTUBE Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelson Check out Jay’s TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@schwedelson Check Out Jay's INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/
