This is gold! I'm 2 years post corporate after 25 years in big tech, restarting my Substack (today!). So much here resonates! (and works, I've helped someone else do it). It's a funny conundrum to be a phenomenal marketer for other people, and have such a hard time marketing myself. Really appreciate your candor, I feel a lot better knowing the missteps I've made area pretty expected and normal.
Oh! ps. the HD 2/4 response is SO good, that's me and I wasn't sure what to do about it. This helped. Now if I can get over hating LinkedIn and actually open the app....
Hi Brenda! So glad it resonated! As heads up I am releasing a personal brand mini course based on human design profile on July 1 - I will tag you in case you are interested!
I stumbled upon this article thanks to the algorithm and I'm glad I did! It's already given me lots to work with and I'll be checking out all the resources you've linked as well!
I just tell myself I'll never be rich nor famous so I should do whatever I want to and my writing has definitely benefited from it lmao and if I get rich or famous, hey that's awesome lmao I'm probably an elite writer comparatively speaking but a real artist doesn't compare, they create so who knows and who cares lol
Jules, there are so many pieces of gold in this! I love how you’re always blending personal experience, practical app suggestions and frameworks. Ps. Love the new format x
As a pure generator with an undefined solar plexus, your anecdote made me realize how easily I can confuse someone's excitement for my sacral response. I need to observe that more closely!
So helpful! I sent the article to my e-reader and highlighted so many sentences and paragraphs that I had to log on here to say thank you! I'm trying to be more strategic and take an active role instead of waiting for people to find me, which rarely works, unfortunately. It's easier said than done, of course, but this post nudged me in the right direction.

Yes please do!
Julie’s VOICE framework nails it—waiting for discovery is career suicide.
Build authority while you’re still employed, then leap with a pipeline, not just hope.
Glad it landed well Wyatt!
Superbly laid out and tremendously detailed. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and journey. Looks like I have work to do.

Love that approach!
i’m a ¼ generator & often get overwhelmed by a lot of self-promotion stuff. thanks for this essay, it really put things in perspective 🥰
I am so glad it resonated! I am writing a future post about how to brand yourself by using your human design profile lines!
