Could your ability to close more deals have less to do with your pitch, and everything to do with who you know you truly are? In this episode of Sell Anything, JL sits down with Kelsey Edwards, an actress, singer-songwriter, and creative coach who has helped 1000’s of creators build magnetic personal brands. With over 20 years in the industry and a deep understanding of mindset, Kelsey shares how fear, identity, and subconscious beliefs quietly shape how we show up, and how well we sell.
Together, they cover the link between self-perception and sales performance, why creators and closers alike fear visibility, and how nervous system regulation can directly influence becoming a brand that stands out. Whether you’re in sales, coaching, content, or leadership, this is the mindset shift that can generate a more fulfilling sense of success.
