Business, Mindset, Style with Nina Walder

I spent six years building an audience of 300K+ followers on Instagram. I’ve sold everything from $27 webinars to $10K offers through the app.
Yet, last year, I shifted my primary focus to LinkedIn - where I have less than 2,500 connections.
The result - I’m signing high-level clients faster and easier, even with a tiny audience.
In this episode, I’m sharing my candid, strategic analysis of the two platforms and why the "Dior-level" client you want is probably waiting for you on LinkedIn.
We cover:✦ Why I’m seeing sophisticated buyers leave Instagram and where they are going instead.
✦ How to replace "performance" with "presence" and where you can sign $5K clients easier
✦ The Intent Gap: Why 2,500 followers on LinkedIn are worth more than 100,000 on Instagram.
✦ My strategy for visual experts: How to use your aesthetic eye to disrupt the corporate feed and more.

This is a conversation with my brilliant client Elaine Whitt, an experienced Life Coach and Coach Instructor who has trained thousands of coaches over the years.
Elaine has a deep background in the industry - she's been successfully working with clients 1-on-1 and trained other coaches for years through in-house roles and referrals.
But despite her success, she realized that relying on unpredictable word-of-mouth or another company's brand left her feeling insecure. She wanted to own her own path.
We worked together inside my Brand Mentorship program to help her translate her deep expertise into a standalone business.
In this conversation, you’ll hear how Elaine:
Overcame the "Comfort Trap": Why she decided to launch her own offer despite having a steady stream of referrals, and why she prioritized building assets she could control.

Moved Past the Fear of Visibility: How she navigated the vulnerability of stepping out from behind a corporate brand to stand fully in her own vision and authority.

Skipped the "Busy Work": How she avoided wasting months on websites and complex intake forms, and instead followed the shortest path to sales and results.

Productized Her Genius: The exact process of translating her intuitive coaching style into a clear, sellable framework.

Shifted Her Identity: How mastering marketing and sales didn't just build her business - it transformed her into a sharper, more resilient coach.

Elaine’s story is proof that you don’t need to rely on "hope marketing" or wait for referrals to build a business that lasts.
If you are a true expert in your field and you are ready to stop relying on others for your leads and finally build a brand that is 100% yours - this episode will show you what is possible.
