🏆 Recognized by… who?

Ever notice how everyone is suddenly “award-winning,” “featured,” or “recognized by industry leaders”?

🎙️ Podcasts no one’s heard of.

📰 Magazines that seem… oddly pay-to-play.

🏅 Rankings where you can buy your way to the top.

Some of it is legit — no doubt.

But let’s not confuse spotlight with substance.

👉 Real recognition isn’t always loud.

It shows up in your work, your values, your results — not just your banner image.

Keep doing the work.

Let the noise fade.

Let the impact speak.
