In this inaugural episode of the "Identity: The Art of Becoming" podcast, host Regina interviews Álvaro Gordoa, rector of the Colegio Mahón Imagen Pública and a pioneer of the public‑image discipline in Mexico. The conversation explores why being well‑perceived is a fundamental human need and how the field professionalised that need through the first school of public image. Álvaro shares personal anecdotes – his first YouTube video, the creation of his first book, and the evolution of his personal brand – to illustrate how he confronted impostor syndrome, fear of criticism, and the “fake‑it‑till‑you‑make‑it” mindset. They discuss the tension between authenticity and the professional persona, arguing that every person plays multiple roles and that a successful brand is a deliberately crafted, yet adaptable, version of oneself. The dialogue moves to strategic personal branding: the importance of foresight, curiosity, long‑term planning, and a structured process (prevision, planning, organization, direction, control). Álvaro stresses that a brand must outlive its founder, separating the institutional brand from the personal one, and highlights the need for digital hygiene – managing multiple social‑media accounts, respecting others’ digital images, and preparing for the lasting impact of a digital footprint. Throughout, they provide concrete advice for newcomers: study the discipline, develop a clear strategy, be consistent, patient, and ethical, and treat digital reputation as a strategic asset rather than an afterthought. The episode ends with a reminder to separate personal and professional images, to be mindful of what is projected, and to take responsibility for one’s own and others’ digital reputations.
