So I sat down with Goldie Chan, yes, the green-haired legend of LinkedIn, to talk about introverts, fake extroverts, and why L.A. somehow demands you be “on” all the time, even when you’re just trying to buy a latte. If you’ve ever had a conversation with someone in L.A. who sounds like they’re auditioning… this episode is for you.
Goldie showed up with her brand-new book, Personal Branding for Introverts, and within five minutes I learned three things:

1. Goldie is painfully honest in the best way.
2. She will quietly judge your journaling habits.
3. She once lectured an A-list actor about car maintenance without knowing he was famous. Beautiful.

We talk about what drains us, what fills us, and why introverts pretend to be “fine” in social settings while mentally locating the nearest exit. We cover cities, too, L.A.’s sparkle, New York’s chaos, Texas’ friendliness, Japan’s calm etiquette, basically a travel guide for people who love people but also love hiding.
You’ll hear us get into journaling, notebooks we absolutely didn’t need to buy, how to present yourself online without feeling like a circus act, and Goldie’s three-keyword method that makes personal branding way less painful.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I tired after talking to three people?” or “Why did that party have eight ring lights?” …you’re not alone. Same.
This episode is basically a support group with microphones.
Hit play. Introverts, unite (quietly, in your own corners).
