508: Authenticity Isn’t a Strategy (So Stop Treating It Like One)
Dave Mastovich breaks down the myth of “authenticity as a strategy.” You’ll hear why trying to look authentic is the fastest way to come off fake—and how real authenticity comes from doing the hard work: understanding your why, your customers’ why, and letting that guide both your brand and your personal story.
Dave shares no-fluff insights, real client stories, and a reminder that pretending to be real is still pretending. Stop strategizing your personality. Start owning your truth—on purpose, not as a performance.
Key Takeaways:
- Why “being authentic” isn’t a strategy—it’s a byproduct of real clarity
- How to uncover your true differentiators by asking the right people the right questions
- The two “why” questions every brand (and leader) must answer
- Why storytelling beats slogans—and DJ sets beat BS
- What tequila, engineering, and finance have in common (yes, really)
