Everyone has gifts. You are blessed with talent, ideas, and unique abilities. Those that leverage their talent can become great. Those that don’t will likely fall short of their potential. The difference between being special and ordinary is often simply a matter of learning the art of being you. 

One of the saddest things is never discovering your gifts. For performers, podcasters, and radio personalities, this can be the difference between amazing success and disappointment. 

When you discover and then understand your gifts, you can find new ways to use them. When your skills power your personality, it can turn into something amazing.

So be alert to recognize those innate talents and abilities, and use them to set yourself apart with a signature style that is truly prolific. There are tw

There are two keys to turning your gifts into assets. The first is to be willing to put in the work and experiment. 

You don't have to be perfect to be prolific. Success awaits those who are the best possible, authentic versions of themselves. It doesn't happen immediately, but through exploration and discovery. 

You will only succeed with a commitment to excellence and a vision for your future. 

The other key is to truly know yourself and find your character's voice. How will you connect in ways nobody else can? What makes you truly unique? 

James Corden turned his enthusiasm for music and the artists that created it into Carpool Karaoke, one of the most prolific features in decades. It was a clever way to package otherwise ordinary interviews with entertainers in a way nobody else could. Using his gifts in this unique way has been the driving force behind Corden's remarkable rise to stardom. 

Carpool Karaoke didn't happen by accident. It was the result of a talented performer knowing his character's voice and discovering a way to use his skills to power his brand.  

Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden once said:

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Many podcasters are discouraged by things they can’t do. In coaching them, I've found that it's usually because they haven't had that light bulb moment where they discover how to use their gifts and share them with the audience.

You can find the thing that launches your brand but not until you identify your gifts and how to use them. That starts with identifying personality traits that can power your future. 

Maybe you're just one breakthrough away, and maybe that breakthrough starts with developing a character profile based on your real-life personality. I walk you through the entire process in my self-guided 5-Star Character Brand course.
