There's a difference between having followers and having people who genuinely *follow* you - who open every email, watch every story, and think of you first when someone asks who they love online. In this episode, I'm sharing real data from the business owners in my Light Up Your Movement sprint, who collectively named over 85 creators they're obsessed with - and more importantly, explained exactly WHY. Spoiler: not one person mentioned content strategy. What they talked about instead is going to reframe how you think about showing up online. IN THIS EPISODE Why "getting followers" and "becoming someone worth following" are two completely different things The 8 themes that came up again and again when people described their favourite creators What "radical transparency" actually looks like - and why showing your working beats showing your wins The permission slip effect: how the best creators make their audience feel like they can do it too Why your content feeling flat might be a joy problem, not a strategy problem The one question to ask yourself: are you talking to your audience, or AT them?
