Episode 1 of Push Past the Cringe is live and I’m not going to lie…

Hitting post on this was uncomfortable in a way I didn’t expect.

I’ve spent 5+ years telling other people to show up consistently. To post even when it feels scary. To stop waiting until it’s perfect.

And here I am… finally taking my own dang advice šŸ’šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Because the truth is I had a podcast with over 140 episodes. I had what most would call a brand.

But somewhere along the way I felt like I fell off the face of the earth.

I guess moving back to the states and getting reverse culture shock will do that to you.🫠

But here’s what that time away taught me.

I didn’t just want to be a service provider anymore. I didn’t want to just post about business or be an information bank.

I wanted to build a creator brand. One that felt like me, allowed me to work with brands I love, and proved that you could build a business around your life and not the other way around.

So that’s what I’m doing. Out loud. In public. Whether it’s cringe or not.

This series is for every service provider, freelancer and creator who has every skill, every tool, every reason to build something of their own - yet keeps finding every excuse not to.

We’re done waiting for someday.

With the launch of Tropic Media Co, I figured it was the perfect time to reintroduce myself. 

Welcome 🌓Here’s my two-minute story of how a random Facebook ad, a breakup, and a one-way flight to Bali completely changed my life and career. by @shannonsegall

Tropic Media Co is officially LIVE 🌓

After months of planning (and way too long in limbo), I’m so excited to share this new chapter with you.

Tropic Media Co is my new marketing studio - built for creatives and founders who want to grow online with strategy that feels like them. Think: content creation, IG + TikTok management, and custom strategy support.

If you’ve been wondering why I now have two accounts, here’s the quick breakdown:

→ @tropicmediaco is where I help brands grow through content and strategy
→ @shannonsegall is still the place for the behind-the-scenes — freelance life, travel, unfiltered thoughts, and building a brand that feels like me

This rebrand has given me the creative space to fully show up in both worlds.

Hope you love what’s coming.

So you think your life is too boring to film?

I used to think that too. Truth is, your favorite creators are still just filming their own lives, their routines, their personality, their perspective. That part hasn’t changed.

What’s different is why you actually watch and keep coming back.

Nobody’s sticking around just to witness someone’s life (unless you’re a Kardashian).

They’re sticking around because something about it entertains them, teaches them something, or makes them feel a little less alone in whatever they’re dealing with.

That’s the part most people miss. It’s still your life. It’s still you.

You just have to ask who’s actually watching and what they could take away from it, instead of posting and hoping for the best.

So no, you don’t need a more interesting life to become a successful creator. You need to stop posting your life at people and start thinking about what’s in it for them. by @shannonsegall

Either you accept posting will be cringe or you cringe 10 years from now knowing you never tried.

Day in my life living in San Diego

Finally got my biannual balayage and haircut done after way too long (thanks @shayeedoesurhair ).

Grabbed brunch at Palmys, then met up with a friend to close out the day at the beach. by @shannonsegall

I taught personal branding for years yet hid behind tips and tricks for my own account šŸ™ˆ

It wasn’t until I realized I had produced over 140 podcast episodes that I understood the ā€œbrandā€ I was building wasn’t what I wanted.

I wanted to share more than just social media marketing tips, but I’d boxed myself in too much to figure out how.

So I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what the creators who actually blew up were doing differently.

Spoiler, it wasn’t better tips or a more consistent posting schedule.

It was that they stopped hiding behind being useful and let people actually know them.

So that’s what I’m doing now with my new Cringe Files series, documenting the actual shift from service provider to creator brand, mistakes and all.

If you’ve been hiding behind being useful too, maybe this is the nudge you needed. by @shannonsegall

A not so typical Saturday in my life in San Diego. 

I somehow went from a Padres game to acquiring a friend of a friends dachshund (my absolute dream dog) and made a visit to the vet ER. Thankfully pup is on the mend and I now have fallen in love with a dog that’s not mine. by @shannonsegall

You can post a tip a day and still never build a real audience.

A brand needs content that gets you discovered, content that proves you know your stuff, and content that shows the human behind the account.

Which one of those three are you missing right now? by @shannonsegall
