I’m convinced that building a reputation has been the single biggest reason for the success I’ve had in my career. I can remember posting online 3 days into my first job at 21 years old. It felt mega cringe. And I was such an amateur. But just talking about the things I was learning (this is pre-AI slop btw) meant that people knew who I was and what I did. So if you’re not already talking about what you know on the internet. You’re leaving money on the table. It’s literally free marketing for yourself. What’s stopping you? #Finance #CareerAdvice #PersonalBranding #Jobs #Niche

how to build a reputation.

0:00Hook

The video starts with a clear, concise hook about building a reputation quickly.

“So the fastest way to build a reputation is to pick one thing and say it online until you're sick of your own voice.”

0:07Social Proof

The speaker establishes credibility by sharing his past professional experience and achievements.

“Now I've spent 10 years advising the world's top investment banks. It's how I became the youngest manager in my company's history, and it's how I was getting invited to podcasts and speak it events before I was 25 years old.”

0:21Setup

The speaker transitions into the main content by promising to reveal his step-by-step method.

“So here's exactly how I'd build a reputation from scratch in 2026. 3 steps.”

0:25Content

The first actionable step is provided, focusing on specialization.

“One, pick a lane so narrow it feels risky. Nobody remembers the person who tries to be good at everything. They remember the one person they'd call for one specific thing. So for me, my lane was tech and AI in finance.”

The second actionable step emphasizes visibility and platform choice.

“Two, do it where people can see. LinkedIn, Instagram, Substack. If only your boss knows you're good, that's not a reputation.”

0:44Content

The third actionable step highlights the importance of consistent repetition for recognition.

“Three, repeat yourself. By the time you're bored of saying it, people are only just starting to connect with your name. But once they start recognizing you, it does become fun again. Trust me.”
