#309: Is it possible to maintain visibility and authenticity at the same time?

In this episode I’m joined by content creator and entrepreneur Jaz Smith to talk about what it actually looks like to build a brand around your real life.

We get into her evolution from working in real estate to becoming a full-time creator, what shifted when she started treating social media like a business, and how she balances visibility with authenticity in a world that often demands both.

Jazmyn shares the behind-the-scenes of growing her platform with intention, the pressure of always being “on,” and why some of the most powerful career moves don’t look like work at all.

This conversation is such a refreshing reminder that growth can be strategic and human.

We Talk About…

  • Her pivot from real estate to full-time content
  • The exact moment she started treating TikTok like a job
  • How she planned her dream wedding on her own terms
  • The parts of her life she doesn’t post
  • Navigating friendship changes in your 20s and 30s
