EP98: Unraveling Identity: Why Who You Are Matters More Than What You Do with Gregory Rutledge

February 11, 2025

Episode Summary:

What if success wasn’t about what you do, but who you are?

In this raw and transformative episode, I sit down with Gregory Rutledge (aka G Wiz) — a visionary, transformational leader, and master connector — to unpack why so many of us are trapped in identities that aren’t even ours.

We dive deep into:
✔️ The real reason ambitious women (especially women of color) feel unseen and undervalued.
✔️ Why the online business world is just corporate BS in a different wrapper — and how to escape it.
✔️ The hard truth: If you’re struggling to “find your niche”, it’s because you ARE the niche.
✔️ The game-changing mindset shift that makes visibility, wealth, and impact inevitable.

This episode isn’t just conversation — it’s a call to action. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disillusioned, or exhausted by trying to play by the rules, this is your permission slip to burn them down and build your own path.

Listen now and get ready to rethink everything.
