My guest this week is Brian Irving, the Chief Marketing Officer of Lyft.  Brian has over two decades of experience building and marketing iconic global brands, including Meta, Eventbrite, Apple, Google, Levi's, and Airbnb. As CMO at Lyft, Brian leads all marketing, creative, and communications efforts for the brand. This includes developing strategy and executing product and brand marketing, overseeing the creative studio, managing social media, and handling external communications. Prior to joining Lyft, Brian was responsible for "branding the metaverse"—a phrase I love—while promoting a range of new product initiatives in the sector, including Oculus, Quest goggles, Ray-Ban smart glasses, and the Horizon VR world. At Meta, he led the Quest Pro launch, bringing the first-ever integrated sports partnership to the company with a multi-year content marketing and product deal in collaboration with the NBA. Previously, Brian was the CMO of Eventbrite, where he played a key role during the company's IPO and launched its first-ever brand campaign, Made for Those Who Do. At Airbnb, he introduced a new marketing and product positioning strategy called Live There, which encouraged travelers to "travel like a local" rather than being a tourist. Brian's path into marketing was nontraditional. He started as a financial analyst and business planning manager before transitioning into account management roles at Digitas and RAPP. Eventually, he moved in-house to lead brand marketing. Currently, Brian is based in San Francisco, where he lives with his son and his dog.

We talk a lot on this podcast about challenging industry "norms" and breaking the "rules". Taking a stance on what you believe in, even if it's not the popular opinion.  And there is no industry that's more relevant in than health & fitness- especially when it comes to health & fitness for women. We have all grown up being told our bodies should be smaller, that our worth is tied to a number on a scale. That exercise should be about being smaller, or punishment for eating, or focused solely around burning calories.  Thankfully that is changing, and my guest on today's episode is leading the way in a new way of thinking. Lynsey Ferguson is a women's health and exercise coach with two decades of experience in the industry. With a degree in sports medicine and specialist training in working with women who are pre and post natal, as well as women in the peri-menopause and menopausal stages of life she has a wealth of experience and specialist training and is working hard to get a new message out: one about the long term physical benefits, the mental health benefits, the confidence boost and ability to live your life to the fullest.  Lynsey and I chat about breaking outside traditional measures of "success", whether that's around fitness, entrepreneurship or in life in general. We talk about backlash for speaking out in a new way, why finding unique messaging is important and how the longer you're in business, the more confident you become to do things your own way.  Lynsey also shares lots of insights into how to start incorporating little bits of exercise into your day- and how to get started with weight training if it's something you've always wanted to do, but thought wasn't 'for' you.  Thanks for joining the conversation!   Don't forget to like/follow the podcast to stay up to date on new episodes, and if you like what you hear please give us a share!Episode Links: Guest:Lynsey Ferguson: Women's Health & Exercise CoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themightymamacoach Connect with me: Rhiannon Louden: Mentor, Brand Strategist & Photographer, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rhiannonlouden.co.uk & https://www.instagram.com/rhiannonealeWebsite: https://www.rhiannonlouden.co.ukSubstack: https://theraremumchronicles.substack.com/ Intro/Outro music credit: https://www.purple-planet.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/courage-chaos--4358445/support.

I remember when I was growing up, I don't think I could name a single CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Today they have become household brands. Who doesn't know Mark Cuban, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk? And because their personal brand is so important, it's intricately tied into their corporate brand. That's why everybody needs a brand strategist. Serah D'Laine is in the studio. She's a personal brand strategist, a business coach, and an international speaker.
