Chapters

This guy was a regular good chef at a restaurant. Now the world looks at him as the master of pastry. You might be wondering what's going to make you an icon. I'm going to tell you the story of this place behind me. It took the place and it took the internet by storm. His name is Cédric Grolet. He's not just a pastry chef, he's an artist. He's the Picasso of pastry. And this guy was a regular good chef at a restaurant, and what he did, he started putting videos of his brand and what he's making on social media, and then his brand blew up. If you're just out there not putting yourself in the content you're making, in the story you're making, you're not building the trust in the story because people buy the story before the product. How many croissants exist? Millions. But his croissant and his pastries are the art. And that's the importance of thought leadership.
