Ep. 88 - From Invisible to In-Demand with Melissa Guenette

You’ve got something powerful to share—but how do you get it
seen, heard, and respected in today’s crowded market? In this
conversation, A-List Media Solutions founder Melissa
Guenette joins Majeed to pull back the curtain on what
really works when it comes to getting in the media, landing
speaking gigs, and showing up like the expert you are.


Melissa shares how she helps entrepreneurs and thought leaders
level up their personal brand through strategic media placement,
stage presence, and signature style—plus how to tell the
difference between earned credibility and pay-to-play exposure.
This episode is packed with actionable insights, powerful truths,
and a few wardrobe tips that could change how people see you
forever.


Key Takeaways:




Why earned media still carries more weight than paid
placements—and how to land it




The secret to building a signature look: “If no one can dress
up as you for Halloween, it’s not iconic enough.”




Paid stages vs. earned keynotes: why both have a place (but
only one leads to long-term influence)




How to dress like you own the company (not like you work at
it)




Why transitional outfits matter for modern entrepreneurs who
travel and speak
