In this episode, I sit down with Tyler Mount—nation’s leading expert in personal brand building and corporate marketing—for a raw and revealing conversation about building a world-class business by refusing to fit in. From a tiny Texas town to running a top creative agency serving clients like Ryan Serhant, Spencer Rascoff, and 1 Hotel, Tyler unpacks how embracing authenticity helped him scale Henry Street Creative and consult for over 1,000 brands across 14 countries.
We go deep into failure, ego, imposter syndrome, and the bold decision to leave NYC at the height of his success. Whether you're building a brand, leading a team, or redefining your own version of success, this episode is a masterclass in unapologetic leadership and brand-first growth.
