What Kind of Influence Do You Want to Have?
from The Daryl Perry Podcast: Audio Journal on Mindset, Men's Mental Health, Cerebral Palsy and Fitness · host Daryl Perry
In this episode, I reflect on where I fit in the online world and why I've never been interested in building a business around views, viral videos, or brand deals. Instead, I'm building something much more meaningful to me: a business centered around helping people change the way they think and feel about themselves.I share why I see myself as a business owner first, content creator second, and why every podcast, email, article, product, and live stream serves the same mission, helping people learn to love the body they have and appreciate who they see in the mirror.We also explore the difference between influencing someone to buy a product and influencing someone to believe something healthier about themselves. That distinction has shaped every decision I've made with Your Level Fitness.Along the way, I discuss authenticity, setting boundaries between your public and private life, and why understanding your role, whether online or offline, can bring more clarity to the work you do.In this episode:Why I don't consider myself a content creator firstThe difference between chasing views and building a businessWhat "influence" really means to meWhy changing how people see themselves matters more than selling productsThe role authenticity plays in building trustKnowing what to share and what to keep privateBuilding an online presence that reflects your values instead of algorithmsWhether you create content, run a business, or simply want to live more intentionally, I hope this episode encourages you to think about the kind of influence you want to have on the people around you. Long-term impact isn't measured only by numbers. It's measured by the lives you help change.Continue the conversation:Sign up for the Your Level Fitness live streams and join me live at:https://yourlevelfitness.com/stream
