In today's episode, I sit down and share what I've learned about working with sponsors and brands as a therapist. It's a whole new world and it's definitely not something we were taught how to do in graduate school. So I wanted to share what I've learned thus far and what I wish I would've known. In today's episode, I cover: How I started out working with brands and getting sponsors What I've learned after doing it for over a year My advice for those therapists wanting to learn more, and how to get started If this is an area you want more help with, I'd highly recommend applying for the Scale Up Mastermind which starts September 16th. We are bringing in a guest expert on this topic to help us dive deeper, make better pitches and make more income while working with brands.
