David Lissah didn’t move to Bulgaria planning to be a content creator — but that’s exactly what happened. By sharing his honest story online, he built a personal brand, launched a freelance business, and discovered the power of authentic content. In this conversation, Lissah shares how staying true to yourself (and setting healthy boundaries) leads to long-term success. He explains why business owners are already creators — and why documenting your journey opens doors. Whether you’re an aspiring influencer or a business owner on the fence about content, Lissah’s story will motivate you to start.

• Authenticity Wins Every Time – David Lissah learned the hard way that forcing content that doesn’t feel right only burns you out. Whether you’re a business or a creator, staying true to yourself builds lasting connections.
• Boundaries Make the Dream Work – From working with his wife to setting strict work hours, David shares why structure and clear boundaries are the secret to making content creation sustainable — and fun.
• You’ll Suck at First — That’s the Point – Everyone starts at zero. The key is to pick up your phone, hit record, and get comfortable being uncomfortable.
