Dean Graziosi argues people don't want polished role models anymore, they want real ones. He shares his own struggles—his mother's death, a health crisis with his daughter, a torn Achilles tendon, mental health battles—and says revealing these authentic experiences quadrupled his following by building genuine trust.
We don't need no damn role models no more. Stay with me. People that's playing a role, we need real models. Somebody that needs to see a good example of like, bro, you went through this too? And how did you get through it? Wow. My following grew tremendously, times 4, when I showed people the journey of me losing my mother, almost losing my daughter, losing my grandmother, me going through a torn Achilles, me going through some mental health issues, my following grew. You know why? Because my audience trusted me more. They knew I wasn't just talking about it, I was actually living it. So you have to make that decision right now for yourself to stop accepting less, and I know that seems so simplistic, but we do it right now.
