From 0 to $1M with Words: How Authority-Led Content Built a Business | #105: Pierre Herubel
Pierre Herubel is a B2B content strategist who built and sold a $1M agency in just 14 months, all without relying on ads, funnels, or gimmicks. He now helps businesses attract buyers by positioning themselves as trusted authorities using his Authority First content framework. It is based on how modern buyers actually make decisions through content, not cold outreach.
From working at an embassy in Paris to building a brand from Bangkok, Pierre’s journey blends practical insight with real results. In this episode, he shares how to create content buyers care about, grow a personal brand that drives leads, and avoid the common mistakes most people make on LinkedIn.
