Rejecting rejection and building real resilience - with Charley Brennand, Paid Media Consultant and Founder of The Performance Academy

Confidence doesn’t come from reading the right materials or waiting until you feel ready.It comes from showing up, asking better questions, and staying in the room when it’s uncomfortable.PPC practitioner and community builder Charley Brennand shares how she broke into marketing without a traditional route, ran head-first into gatekeeping, got fired early on, and kept going anyway.We talk about:- why “soft skills” aren’t soft at all- what actually builds confidence over time- learning by proximity rather than permission- why being turned away can become fuel rather than a stop signSubscribe to get the Extended Cut, where we go deeper on how Charley reframed rejection, built credibility without the traditional track record, and learned to find her voice by showing up when it would have been easier not to.
