Shownotes

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re getting honest about something every high-level professional has felt—but rarely says out loud:

“How is someone with half my talent getting better clients than me?”

Today’s episode tells the story of Grant McDowell, a seasoned wealth advisor quietly grinding behind the scenes… and Ember Luxe, a former junior rep turned luxury “Rich Girl Tax Tips” influencer who’s now speaking at family office summits.

This isn’t a story about social media.

It’s a story about visibility, status cues, and perceived value in the rooms that matter.

Inside, you'll learn:

  • Why being “the best-kept secret” is not a compliment—it’s a career risk
  • How the market rewards clarity and positioning more than credentials
  • The subtle ways affluent clients assess social proof (and why you’re not showing up)
  • How to build quiet authority that elevates you above the noise—without selling out

If you’re tired of seeing flashier, less capable people get the spotlight—and you’re ready to become the trusted advisor behind the scenes, this episode is for you.
