Everyone talks about "authenticity" across social media, yet so few of us know how to follow through. Why? Because being yourself in front of the whole world on social media feels scary. This is why you see so many people brand themselves as someone we think will be more appealing than their real selves. 

Today on the podcast, Jessica Zweig, Founder of The SimplyBe. Agency, a personal branding company, joins Tyler to discuss a no B.S. approach to increasing your self-worth and net worth by simply being yourself.
