BIO: Amelia Sordell is a speaker, content creator, and Founder of Klowt, the first-of-its-kind personal brand marketing agency. STORY: Amelia lived all her life seeking external validation, and instead of making her happy, it left her very empty. She eventually decided to invest in herself and now is thriving. LEARNING: Selfishly invest in yourself before everyone. Always ask yourself if what you're spending time on has any ROI.   “You can't serve people in the way that you're meant to if you're not first looking after yourself.”Amelia Sordell  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ameliasordell/ (Amelia Sordell) is a speaker, content creator, and Founder of https://klowt.com/ (Klowt), the first-of-its-kind personal brand marketing agency. Her desire to oversee her career and live by her own rules led to launching her first business, a clothing brand, at the age of just 21. After the business failed, Amelia's resilient attitude meant she pivoted her career to become a Tech Headhunter, where she quickly discovered the reach and positive power that an individual personal brand can have on the overall company. It wasn't long before people outside the organization began to contact Amelia for her help in building their brands online. Now 31, Amelia has built a 6-figure personal branding agency - Klowt with a team of 7 during the middle of a pandemic, all off the back of her own personal brand. With a strong following on LinkedIn and with views of 40 million, Amelia and the agency have worked with Tech Startup Founders to FTSE Leadership teams, such as The National Lottery, on building personal brands that deliver actual results so they can scale their lead pipeline, generate more referrals to position themselves as an authority and accelerate their businesses growth. A strong leader and public speaker, Amelia also often comments on discussions around fairness, equal opportunities and pay, hiring and retaining great talent, the realities of running a startup, and women's issues online. Worst investment everAs a 13-year-old girl, an incident happened, and Amelia suffered tremendous trauma. As a result, she constantly sought external validation from others, particularly men, in relationships, friendships, and online. Amelia was obsessed with how people perceived her looks to the point of losing a lot of weight and ended up with a bad case of bulimia. Amelia believed that if she could control the external narrative she was telling people, she wouldn't have to deal with her internal feelings about how she felt herself. She just wanted people to like her. Amelia lived like this through to her 30s, and it affected her actions, behaviors, friendships, relationships, the jobs she took, etc. She finally got to a point where she realized she wasn't happy. Not in her marriage, her home, her job, everything. She found herself constantly wondering what she was doing with her life. Amelia checked all the things she was spending her time on and realized she didn't enjoy any of them. She loved her kids and loved spending time with them. But that was about it. There was nothing else in her life that was making her feel happy. She was at a harrowing point in her life. Amelia decided to look inward and invest in herself. She filed for divorce, quit her job, and started a business. Lessons learnedSelfishly invest in yourself before everyone. Always ask yourself if what you're spending time on has any ROI. ROI doesn't need to be cash. It could be happiness, fitness, good health, the overall sense of well-being, etc. You can't serve people how you're meant to serve them if you're not first looking after yourself. Andrew's takeawaysYou have a right and the ability to have everything in this life. But you've got to make a choice. Actionable adviceWrite down a list of the things that trigger you to feel unhappy, depressed, or trapped. Underneath that, you write down what makes you feel calm and happy. And then underneath

With over 20 years of experience in the Fitness industry - Marc Diaper's career has been linear, but there is nothing about him that is ordinary. I was lucky enough to stumble across Marc on a clubhouse stage in UK Lockdown 1 at the start of the pandemic in 2020… Since then, I have been following Marc's journey, learning from his leadership and his attitude towards branding and marketing himself - and London's most recognisable gym brand, Gymbox. This conversation is a little different from the ones we've had on Branded by Amelia Sordell. And that's why it's so fascinating.

I absolutely loved the HONESTY & no BS CHAT – so many home truths about PERSONAL BRANDING and SOCIAL MEDIA content and how you can get ahead in 2022. We discuss everything from Tequila, Social Media & Personal Branding content to running your own business, learning from your failures and navigating the ups & downs that life throws at you. This week's episode is the fabulous Amelia Sordell who started her business Klowt in a small corner of her bedroom in the middle of a global pandemic. She did it because she believes, unequivocally that the future of branding is personal. That people buy from people. But more importantly, they buy from people they trust. And that is what Personal Branding does, it builds trust. Builds trust to generate customer leads, position yourself as the employer of choice, become an authority and be recognised as the company all the other companies want to be. It's human-centred marketing that delivers real results.

In this brand-new episode I'm joined by a good friend and colleague Amelia Sordell, pretty much the #1 personal branding guru on LinkedIn right now, and who has been my number one target guest to get on this show for a while. There are a number of reasons I wanted her on the show, starting with the fact that Amelia's background includes headhunting internationally so she is able to share with us some great recruitment advice which will be invaluable for those listeners currently job seeking and interviewing, including advice around employer branding which is all about how employers and candidates position themselves with each other.  Amelia has also recently launched her own business which I know resonates for many listeners who are thinking about starting out on their own rather than traditional job seeking and finally she is also a mum of two young children so she shares some great insights about the elusive work life balance we all so desperately try to achieve. Enjoy the episode!
