In today’s episode of The Art of Passive Income, Mark and Scott talk to Dorie Clark — DorieClark.com.

Dorie has a long list of attributes, including: adjunct professor of business administration at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, author, former presidential campaign spokeswoman, frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, Time, and Entrepreneur.

She is also a marketing strategy consultant and speaker for clients including Google, Microsoft, Yale University, Fidelity, the US State Department, and the World Bank! The New York Times described her as an expert at self-reinvention and helping others make changes in their lives.

We discuss:

— The three components you need to be a recognized expert.

Little bets strategy to find your breakthrough idea. Take a lot of little bets to find the one that gets the most traction.

— The difference between a thought leader and a self-promoter.

Thought leader — the thought part means you are known for your ideas. That is the content of it. It’s not just pure celebrity. It’s not a shallow celebrity. You are known for your ideas. A thought leader actually means, inherently, if you are a leader you have to have followers otherwise this is an inaccurate term.

Plus, we delve deep into robots and the future of our jobs.

Robots and Jobs — I think it’s interesting and important for all of us because it fundamentally gets at an issue that when we talk about reinvention, when we talk about personal branding, this is at the core of it. You have to brand yourself because there is a lot of competition from other workers, whether that’s in the United States, whether that’s people from abroad, from countries that are operating in a lower price environment, you have to give people a reason to work with you if you are not always going to be the lowest price option. I think we take that times ten or times a hundred if we look at robots.

Listen in now as we delve deep into these subjects and more!
