The Thought Leader Club | Content Creation & Personal Brand Strategy For Side Hustles and Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurship

This thought leadership podcast is for online entrepreneurs, personal brands, and side hustlers who are ready to increase their visibility, build an audience, and become a recognized name in their industry. You will learn how to make money online and be a consistent and prolific content creator as a service-based entrepreneur, coach, podcaster, author, or speaker. Do all this while maintaining work-life balance so you can quit traditional career paths (and what others expect of you) in order to pave something truly exceptional. In each episode, thought leadership coach Cheryl Lau shares candid lessons, thought-provoking perspectives, and actionable tips and strategies to build a body of work that lets you grow a successful online business and create a lucrative personal brand. I want to help you grow your online business, provide value to your clients, and work through any insecurities that come up in your entrepreneur journey. It’s time to start taking inspired, consistent, and prolific action and become known for your unique thought leadership, ideas, story, and expertise. About Your Host I’ve quit two prestigious career paths (law school and PhD/academia) to pave my own entrepreneurial career. I literally went from being the Asian parent’s dream child to their biggest disappointment. Yet, since starting my business and brand in 2019, I’ve forged a new path and created a business & career that not only makes me proud… but also makes my parents proud. In just a few years, I’ve been featured on the TODAY Online, spoken on the CNA 938 radio, and have held workshops for the University of Toronto - Victoria College, the Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Center, and the Asian Wander Women to name a few. My podcast, The Side Hustle Club (Now known as The Thought Leader Club), was also the recipient of the 2023 Golden Crane Award (from the Asian American Podcasters Association). All of this was only possible because I put myself out there and am now known for my unique thought leadership, I’ve built a body of work that compels best-fit clients to work with me, and I’ve ultimately built a business & career that I’m so, so proud of. I’m ready to help you do the same. Your Next Steps Join us in the next cohort of the Thought Leader Club - A 4-month weekly 1:1 and community program. This is THE room to: ✨ Start putting in the reps to create your thought leader career and become prolific and consistent at building thought leadership. ✨ Build a body of work that lets you become known for your unique thought leadership, your story, and how amazing you are at what you do. ✨ And ultimately set yourself up for making your 1-3 year dreams a reality.

165. Quit Story: Life After Prison - Taking Ownership of His Life & Career with JP Watkins

3/14/2024
JP and I crossed paths on the internet around late 2018. He was one of my first β€œbeta coaching clients” back then, and I always enjoyed my conversations with JP. We lost touch over the years and reconnected in early 2024. During our catch up, I got to hear JP’s story in more detail. And honestly, I was at loss for words. JP’s story is filled with character and resilience, and I am beyond grateful to have him as our guest on episode 165 of The Thought Leader Club Podcast to share exactly that. In this conversation, you’ll hear about: What led JP to do the current work he does today, and his thoughts on the importance of confidence vs English skill when it comes to helping ESL folks The real sh*t that JP navigated from his younger days that shaped who he’s become I’ve always remembered JP as someone who was well spoken and would drop nuggets of wisdom - So, we also touched on why JP thinks he’s good with words And other profound stories of resilience and taking ownership over your life’s direction Enjoy :) P.S. And if you loved the episode, you can 1️) Leave a 5-star rating and an awesome review, and 2️) Share the episode on your social media About JP: Hello I'm JP. I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. I grew up with a single mom who raised 7 children. Childhood was challenging and I was kicked out of public schools because of my poor reputation and eventually graduated to selling drugs. By the time I was 25 years old, I had 4 children by two different women. Eventually, I got convicted of selling drugs and served a short stint in the penal system. After I got out I was determined not to return. I volunteered as a way of "showing" rather than telling me I had changed my life around. Overtime, I earned my GED, BA, and Masters Degree. Yet, my peppered past limited my opportunities to teach at the college level even though I graduated magna cum laude with 3.8 GPA. By the grace of God I was able to do maintain good grades while often working 2 jobs, sometimes 2 full time jobs. I was born and raised in the USA, but I currently live in the Philippines. Currently, I help diffident emerging leaders communicate with confidence and eloquence to their international colleagues. I hold a master's degree in History from The University of Akron as well as a TOEIC and multiple TEFL certifications. I am a leadership coach, ESL teacher, self-published author of a series, public speaker, and educator with several years of experience in hiring, interpersonal skill training, confidence coaching, and supervising staff as well as teaching various topics: US History, Business Etiquette & Leadership (tactful performance conversations and conflict management scenarios), interview preparation (via mock interviews), cultural nuances about the historical social issues in USA, professional development, and personal governance.

163. Quit Story: Asian Immigrant with an Unconventional Art Career & Path to Entrepreneurship with Betty Xie

3/10/2024
A few years ago, Betty blew my mind when she shared the following metaphor: β€œIf you think about the fundamentals of a palette, you really just need the three basic colors - red, yellow and blue. And if you have those three colors, you can make a thousand, millions different shades, all shades come from those three colors. So bringing that parallel to talent, we just need what you already have, the shades that you already have to make a thousand different beautiful possibilities.” THAT is the type of coach Betty is: She is a coach that advocates for people to be compassionate and kind to themselves, and to leverage what they DO have to create amazingness in this world. Needless to say, Betty is brilliant and I am delighted to invite her onto the show to share not just other brilliant nuggets, but also to dive into her story On episode 163 of The Thought Leader Club Podcast, you’ll hear about: Growing up in different cultures/locations, immigrant parents, and the other early experiences that shaped Betty into who she is today The decision to go into the humanities, to pursue post graduate studies, what peeps around you were doing, etc The multiple hats that Betty wears, including flmmaker, fundraising consultant, coach, business owner, and many more And other conversations about creating an award-winning podcast, traveling, and so much more~ About Betty: Betty Xie is a filmmaker, fundraising consultant, career coach and podcaster.
