Social media growth isn’t random and it’s definitely not luck. Influence Declassified pulls back the curtain on how influence is really built online.
Each episode breaks down how social media *actually* works — uncovering growth secrets, strategy shifts, and behind the scenes insights no one teaches you. From content creation and marketing strategy to small business growth and creator advice, this podcast makes social media approachable, actionable, and effective no matter where you’re starting.
05: Manifesting Social Media + Business Growth with Mikayla Jai
In this episode of Influence Declassified, I sit down with Mikayla Jai, a manifestation coach who's grown her multiple 6-figure business using social media. We break down how manifestation, mindset, and intentional energy can become real, tactical tools for growing your brand online.
We're getting into how belief and visualization intersect with actual social media strategy, why your mindset directly impacts your content and consistency, and how to use manifestation practices (without skipping the actual work) to build influence that lasts. If you've ever wondered whether "manifesting" your brand's growth is legit or just a trend, this conversation will change how you think about building influence the "woo woo" way.
