Danielle Letayf, founder of Badassery, a podcast guest agency, works with leaders and entrepreneurs who are pivoting their careers, reinventing their personal brands, and looking to share their stories with the world.
First, let’s give it up for that company name, right?
Second, it should be no surprise that Danielle’s clients feel Imposter Syndrome when they get on stage or record a podcast, but should the founder be feeling it too?
While that might not be surprising, her way of channeling it into a fuel is surprising.
And for many of us who are on this journey to live more fully into our possibilities, putting ourselves on stage or in front of a mic feels inevitable. So too does a date with Imposter Syndrome feel inevitable.
"The feeling of Imposter Syndrome is just the step before a big piece of growth."
In the latest What Do You Know To Be True? episode, Danielle shares that this path is not an easy one for her clients. It is one that requires...
➡️courage
➡️vulnerability
➡️adaptability
➡️the resilience
...and she needs to be able to dance with and go toe to toe with her clients as they need.
And Danielle is not coming at this as a dispassionate observer, she’s had to go down that same path herself as she's had to reinvent her business.
One might call her the original badass at Badassery.

And while her clients need to adapt and embrace their new stores, adaptability is also part of Danielle’s secret sauce in how she approaches each individual she works with.
Danielle shares three key lessons in this conversation for the process of developing your personal brand:
1️⃣A willingness to go into uncomfortable places
2️⃣The courage to do the hard work
3️⃣It will be a grind
As you can imagine, if you were getting up on stage or about to be interviewed on a podcast, you might have a little imposter syndrome.
If you’re lucky enough to know Danielle, she’d likely share her surprising attitude towards Imposter Syndrome, which she shares in this conversation too.

In this episode, Danielle answers the following questions:
➡️What does rewriting your story mean?
➡️How do you rewrite your own story?
➡️How do you develop your personal brand?
➡️ Who can help me develop my personal brand?
My favorite quote from the episode: “A badass is not someone who is complete, but rather someone who is willing to grow even when they now it will hurt.”
If this quote feels similar to the Teddy Roosevelt “man in the arena” quote, it should. Not because Danielle lifted it, but because they are both talking about the courage it takes to be vulnerable especially because it will hurt in the middle.
