THE REAL PERSONAL BRANDING PODCAST

Confidence Through Identity Shifts with Angus Nelson

On today’s episode of the REAL Personal Branding podcast, Lauren interviews Angus Nelson, executive coach, speaker, and author of the upcoming book “Confidence Comes Later.” Angus helps high-performing leaders reclaim their clarity and purpose by reconnecting with who they truly are, not just what they’ve built.

Angus shares his deeply personal journey through burnout, addiction, and divorce, and how those experiences helped him rebuild a more honest, grounded life. He and Lauren talk about how confidence often follows action, how to rewrite the internal stories that hold us back, and why slowing down can be your boldest move. Angus opens up about detaching identity from achievement, navigating impostor syndrome, and telling your story without oversharing.

They explore how personal branding becomes more powerful when aligned with your inner truth. This episode is full of honest perspective, useful mindset shifts, and practical encouragement, especially for leaders in a season of change.
