How an introvert became a successful podcaster

Be Real with Vikram Deol

On today's episode of Be Real, I welcome Michael i. Roberts for a fun and valuable conversation about branding, business promotions, books that shaped his life, and conquering the world despite introversion. Michael is a business owner and a podcaster. Through his company, Small Business Celebration, he collaborates with other small business owners to cross pollinate audiences through live digital promotion tools. He invites real people with real experiences to share their stories and make others learn from them. He delivers authenticity, which is one of the main foundations of his business. He’s been able to build charisma through his introversion, and used it as a power to communicate and recalibrate his personal reserve to help himself flourish in an environment that conventionally favors extroverts. He made him and his business stand out, and made a living out of talking to people. He surrounds himself with people who complement his strengths, which has enabled him to achieve what he has now.

Throughout this episode, you will learn the value of positive thinking, acknowledging failures caused by wrong decisions, imperfections, and that trying to be perfect for the image of the business, at the cost of your life, isn't worth it. Life is tough and you can get sucker-punched everyday, but it’s also super rewarding if you don’t give up.
