The Correct Way to Build a Brand in 2025 w/ Dennis Postema
Dennis Postema believes the biggest mistake creators make is staying invisible. As founder of the Motivation and Success TV Network, Postema helps podcasters and entrepreneurs turn shows into global television programs and attention into opportunity. In this episode of Digital Hospitality, he joins Shawn Walchef to talk about the power of distribution, the importance of personal branding, and how self-funded creators can finally start monetizing their message. From collaborating with mentors like David Meltzer to building a network of over 50 shows, Postema proves that visibility and storytelling are the ultimate business advantage.
Interview Takeaways:
- Visibility Beats Perfection: Dennis Postema built Motivation and Success TV to help creators get seen. “If you’re the best-kept secret, it doesn’t matter,” he says. Distribution and exposure are the real keys to growth.
- Monetize Early and Smart: Forget waiting years for sponsors. Postema helps hosts turn interviews and partnerships into revenue within 30 to 60 days, teaching creators to see every guest as an opportunity.
- Your Brand Is the Business: From Steve Jobs to Ryan Reynolds, Postema says the secret to long-term success is personal branding. “You can do anything when you have a personal brand.”
