The Brand Journey Framework:

1. What do I want to have happen?
2. What would I have to be known for in order for that goal to happen?
3. What would I have to do in order to be known for the thing that makes my goal happen?
4. What would I have to learn in order to do the thing, to be known for the thing, to make my goal happen?

If you can answer those honestly, you’ll know what you’re building toward and why it matters.

Comment “TRUST” and I’ll send you everything you need to make content that actually gets customers inside of our program, Ralston Select 👊

Real talk: most people making content right now are optimizing for the wrong thing. They chase views, go viral, and still don’t sell a thing. Big respect if you’re trying to break that cycle.

Because here’s what nobody tells you... millions of views don’t mean millions of customers. “Going viral” is the fastest way to build an audience that will never buy from you.

That’s exactly what we fix in Ralston Select. Enrollment is open right now, and it’s the program Trevor (my Content Director) and I built to teach you how to make educational content that builds trust and turns into actual customers.

Every concept in this video comes from what we teach inside of Select.

Truth is, most people aren’t “bad at content.” They’re just making it for views first. Ralston Select is where we teach you how to make it for the people who actually become customers (because there’s a big difference).

Comment “TRUST” and I’ll send you the details :)

Comment “CALEB” for the direct link to this episode. 🎙️

Over the course of building Anatomy of a Dream, I watched nearly every one of Caleb’s videos. I studied the way he thought about content, personal branding, and business, and his lessons genuinely shaped the way I approached this journey.

So, to sit across from someone I had learned so much from, and finally ask all of the questions I’d been carrying with me along the way, was surreal.

It meant more to me than I can put into words, and has become a meaningful part of the anatomy of our own dream.

If you’re trying to grow your personal brand, or your brand as a whole, I truly believe this conversation could be the very thing that changes everything for you.

I can’t wait for you to watch it. ❤️

Most brands have no clarity.

They post, they create, they chase trends… but they have no idea what it’s all building toward.

This is why I created the Brand Journey Framework.
It’s four simple questions that provide an immense amount of clarity:

1. What do I want to have happen?
2. What would I have to be known for in order for that goal to happen?
3. What would I have to do in order to be known for the thing that makes my goal happen?
4. What would I have to learn in order to do the thing, to be known for the thing, to make my goal happen?

If you can answer those honestly, you’ll know what you’re building toward and why it matters.

I didn’t start with “branding” in general, I didn’t even go with “personal branding.” 

My pond starting out was “personal branding for educational brands”.

AKA a pond I could actually have potential of owning. 

The problem is most people pick a pond in the beginning they’ll never dominate.

Start small and “pond up” overtime.

The best personal brands build worlds around them.

It comes from your favorite movies, books, and TV shows. We’re not just watching those, we’re living in the worlds they’ve created. That’s Worldbuilding. And it works for your personal brand too.

There are the 7 elements to build a world your audience never wants to leave:
1. Named Concepts
2. Redefined Terms
3. Weakness / Vulnerability
4. Characters & Settings
5. Interest Stacking
6. Legends & Lore
7. Common Enemy

Now you won’t be able to unsee it.

#1 — Stop chasing views

Views aren’t bad…but it’s generally not what we recommend you optimize for first.

Create content that’s meant to create trust with your audience, not just get you views. This will actually get you results for your business rather than just get you to go viral.

Most advice online is for entertainment content.
Educational content and entertainment content are very different. 

Just make sure you know which type you’re making.

#2 — Build an idea machine. 

Get a clear on ideation for your content. 
No amount of editing and team members will fix a bad idea.

The “idea formula” is simple:
The painful problem your ideal customer faces + your unique solution to that painful problem = the idea(s)

That should give you a clear starting point for many different content ideas.

#3 — Train your creative team to be systems and process oriented

Every step of your content process needs to be systematized to create the most efficient process.

And if you have a team, you know creatives are known to have a messy workflow.

We recommend you have a project management process to keep track of ideation, pre-production, production, post production, and performance tracking.

You can set this up with any tool you’d like (Asana, Monday.com, Trello, Notion, etc.)

#4 — Establish roles for the different platforms you’re creating on

The role you assign to a platform determines what you optimize for, what you track (aka what you care about), and what you ignore.

The roles we use for platforms are:
1. Customer Acquisition (attracting customers)
2. Talent Acquisition (attracting future employees)
3. Audience Acquisition (building your audience)
4. Insight Acquisition (getting you learnings to implement)

You generally want to pick one primary role for each platform you make content on. This determines what you track and what type of content you actually make on the platform.

#5 — Sign up for Ralston Select where we teach you how to do all of this and more.

Most people run out of content because they generate ideas based off of what their competitors are doing.

I like to start my ideas with my customer in mind, not my competition.

Here’s the equation I use instead:
Your ideal customer’s painful problem + your unique solution = an idea.

Now it’s not a piece of content yet. Just an idea.

But an idea is big enough to attack from multiple different angles.

And each angle is its own piece of content.

So pick a painful problem your ideal customer actually faces. Pair it with the way you specifically solve it. That’s one idea. 

And one idea can easily create dozens of pieces of content for you.

This is how you stop running out of things to make.

❤️ I’ve got some caveats for you here (all the new creators read #4):

1. I’m not telling you to not take advice from anyone, what I am saying is that the best version of “being on it” is you actually being “in it”. The reality is, the majority of tactic based advice has a very short life span (some things last longer than others) so the fastest way to know what’s working is being in the weeds doing the damn thing

2. How funny that in this video I’m doing what is now called a “Yap” — I love the movement and believe it’s very effective, but not for everyone. It’s been working for me, but mainly due to my schedule and the fact that it’s easier to be on a client call then immediately after record a quick “yap” covering one of the insights unlocked during that call. This is only because we’re actually in the weeds trying shit.

3. I love the content strategist community on IG and I think they’re doing their darndest to get you these tactics that are working as quick as possible…but again, once it’s being widely shared and used…do you believe it will stand out? The answer isn’t a definite no or definite yes, but I’d argue it has less odds of standing out vs doing something DIFFERENT than your competitors.

4. If you’re just starting out, just fucking listen to the strategists and hop on the train a little late, at least you’re still moving. Once you reach a level of comfort and understanding of the platform you’re posting to, thennn you can start carving your own path.
