Podcasts about Personal branding

In this episode of The Better Leadership Team Show, I sit down with Alyssa Gelbard, Founder and CEO of Point Road Group, to explore why personal branding is far more than a marketing exercise. We discuss how leaders shape company culture, build trust, attract talent, strengthen customer relationships, and drive revenue through the way they communicate and show up every day.Alyssa shares practical insights on executive presence, LinkedIn credibility, leadership communication, personal brand awareness, and the common mistakes that unintentionally undermine trust. We also discuss why leadership teams must align around a consistent company story and how personal branding impacts both internal team dynamics and external business relationships.If you want to strengthen your leadership team, improve organizational alignment, and create greater influence as a leader, this conversation provides actionable strategies you can begin applying immediately.Employee Branding Snapshot Assessment https://assessment.pointroadgroup.com/assessment/17340Website: https://www.pointroadgroup.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssagelbard/Point Road Group: https://www.linkedin.com/company/point-road-group/ Thanks for listening!

Nate Spangle never set out to build a media company. He set out to be the first truck in line at the Indy 500. That single idea, filmed on his phone while walking into work, blew up overnight and became Get Indiana, the brand now known across the state for hyping up small towns, local businesses, and the people most folks would drive right past. In this episode, Chris Anderson sits down with Nate to unpack how a $3,000 truck off Facebook Marketplace turned into a full media company, and why plain old curiosity is the real engine behind all of it. Nate opens up about the loss that reshaped how he sees people, the strategy behind his fastest-growing videos, and the mindset that keeps him swinging even when a big idea does not land. Here is what Chris and Nate get into: How one viral video and a 1986 Dodge truck launched Get Indiana and 15,000 followers in six weeks Why you cannot fake obsession, and how being real beats being polished every time The "delta" strategy: finding the gap between what people want and what nobody else is making Losing his mom at 20, the second chance he got with his grandmother, and how learning to ask better questions changed everything Why chasing a thousand real fans beats chasing a million strangers Building a team, handing off the mic, and turning a one-man brand into a real business The habits that keep him going: a short memory, no sulking, and dreaming so big it makes people uncomfortable Whether you want to start something of your own, grow an audience, or just get more out of every single day, Nate's story is a straight shot of proof that the only way it does not work out is if you quit.

Send us Fan MailMost security teams keep buying tools and still feel behind. That's not because you picked the “wrong” scanner or missed the latest AI feature. It's because many organizations are trying to secure software like it's a one-time project instead of a repeatable manufacturing process. I'm joined by Darius Radford, founder and CEO of Knights Watch Cyber, to make that idea concrete and practical for any software-driven business. Darius breaks down why applications, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms, open source dependencies, and identity are the real battlefield now. He shares the core insight behind what he calls the Secure Software Factory: software isn't “written” anymore, it's manufactured. When you adopt a factory mindset, you build in quality control, governance, automation, standards, metrics, and feedback loops so secure software development becomes consistent instead of heroic. We also walk through the four capabilities he sees as non-negotiable: orchestrated delivery, developer-centric application security tooling, supply chain and artifact management governance, and unified risk correlation that turns endless security data into real context. We go straight at the AI era too. Developers and AI will build the next generation of products together, which makes AI security governance and testing even more urgent. Darius gives practical guardrails for AI-generated code, including input validation, session management, authentication and authorization checks, and permission modeling. We also talk about how a mature DevSecOps approach can help you win deals by proving security by design with repeatable metrics and alignment to common risk frameworks like OWASP. If you build software, lead engineering, or sell into security-conscious customers, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with a builder on your team, and leave a review with your biggest question about secure software development, what are you struggling to make repeatable?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us Fan MailAI is getting faster, cheaper, and easier to access, but that doesn't mean it's safe or ready to run your business unattended. We talk with Wilfred Morgan, an AI systems architect working at the front edge of enterprise AI automation and multi-agent orchestration, about what actually matters when you move beyond prototypes and put AI agents into production. If you've ever wondered why an AI rollout can look “successful” on a dashboard while quietly failing in the real world, this conversation is for you.We break down the jump from prompt-driven generative AI to agentic AI: systems that don't just write a good email, but can execute tasks, pull from multiple sources, and operate like structured digital workers. That power comes with a dependency most teams underestimate: context architecture. Clean data, clear processes, and well-curated knowledge artifacts become the fuel, and legacy data becomes drag. We also talk about the competitive reality that AI-native companies can build modern workflows from day one while larger organizations often wrestle with legacy systems, governance, and compliance overhead.Then we go straight at the risk side: subtle errors, misplaced trust, and why confidence can trick humans into believing incorrect outputs. Wilfred shares a practical evaluation-first mindset inspired by high-stakes domains like aviation and healthcare, plus a grounded checklist for small business owners using systems thinking to map the customer journey and decide where humans must stay in the loop.If this helped you think more clearly about AI automation, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more builders and leaders can find it.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Krysta was talking business with her boyfriend Mike when it clicked: the reason her business feels un-takeable has nothing to do with the business itself — it's the personal brand underneath it. In this solo episode she breaks down why your reputation is the one asset that travels with you across every pivot, and hands you a framework to build it. In this episode we dive into:• Why your business is just a "container" — and your personal brand is the real asset• How founder-led marketing puts you in rooms you weren't invited to• A three-column exercise to find the personal brand hiding in plain sight• The four content lanes that turn your social media into your resumeThe Portable Reputation• Personal brand isn't the soft-girl morning routine or the iced-coffee photo dump — it's your portable, transferable reputation• Your businesses (the Fitness Fix, The Spread) are containers; the through line is how you think, notice, and communicate• "Clarity" was never about niching down forever — it means people understand the world you're building, and range stops feeling like chaos the moment you name the thread that connects itYour Instagram Is Your Resume• Krysta's finance-to-fitness-to-marketing path looks random on paper — but the through line made it inevitable• A gym she'd worked for DMed her to run their marketing after seeing her page — proof she was building an asset without realizing it• Founder-led marketing means becoming visible enough that people understand your values and POV before they meet you• Goldman Sachs projects the creator economy nearing half a trillion by 2027, with VC and PE now backing founder-led brandsBuild Something Portable• Give yourself permission to let your focus change — think next 12 months, not forever• FYX Tip: pair a "portable strength rep" with a "visibility rep" this weekYour Personal Brand Exercise (Want to build the three columns alongside Krysta? Jump to 31:49 in the episode- grab a sheet of paper, 20–30 min):Step 1 — Draw three columns.• Column 1: What you're already paid for or qualified to be paid for (job, business, role, credentials, degree)• Column 2: What people already come to you to explain (topics they've quietly ID'd you as the expert on — hiring, relationships, workouts, money, leadership)• Column 3: What you want to be known for in the next 12 months (not forever — just the next year)The overlap between Column 1 and Column 3 is where your personal brand lives: credible now, pointing where you're headed.Step 2 — Turn the overlap into four content lanes.• Point of view: your hot takes — what you notice, what people get wrong• Proof: the receipts — client results, your own story, lessons from past roles• Teaching: frameworks and exercises people can use• Human context: what makes you a person, not a robotStep 3 — Name your through line.The one thread that lets every topic make sense together (Krysta's: women becoming more of themselves). Then repeat it again and again — people won't connect the dots for you.Step 4 — Pick one platform. Not seventeen. Get good at one, then expand.Step 5 — Commit to creating. Start with one post a week, build to two, then three.This conversation reminds us that the person is harder to erase than the business. Whether you're a founder mid-pivot or an employee who knows the current role isn't forever, you leave with the framework and permission to build something no algorithm or layoff can take. No Such Thing for the week: there's no starting over from zero when people already know how you think.Looking for more?

Have you ever known deep down that something in your life needed to change, but felt completely terrified to take the leap? This week, Jessica sits down with entrepreneur, content creator, and founder of Boxwood Avenue, Chloe Legras, to explore the transformational journey of trusting yourself enough to take aligned action even when fear and discomfort loom large. Chloe shares how a picture-perfect life on the outside masked a growing sense of misalignment within, and how years of inner work eventually led her to make one of the hardest decisions of her life: leaving a marriage, rebuilding from the ground up, and following a lifelong dream to move to France. Together, they unpack the realities of navigating uncertainty, healing childhood wounds, distinguishing intuition from fear, and learning to trust yourself without having complete certainty. This episode is a powerful reminder that your dreams are often waiting on the other side of the leap you've been afraid to take—and that you already have everything you need within you to begin. This conversation also beautifully mirrors the deeper work of becoming visible, authentic, and magnetic, which is exactly what we're exploring in the Be Seen Challenge.

You are great at what you do. Your clients love you. And almost nobody knows you exist. That gap between your skill and your visibility is where revenue disappears. Diane Strand of JDS Productions, has spent 23 years building businesses in one of the most competitive industries in the world: entertainment production. She has worked on sets for General Hospital, Friends, and Walt Disney. She built JDS Productions into a seven-figure media company, launched over 100 actors and producers through her studio, and wrote the book on turning creative passion into profit (literally, it is called Creative Preneur). In this episode, Diane breaks down why creativity is not a soft skill but a growth strategy, why action always comes before confidence, and how the same tools performers use on stage (improv, rehearsal, storytelling, stepping into the spotlight before you feel ready) are the exact tools that scale a business past the million dollar mark. She also challenges the money mindset that keeps women entrepreneurs stuck: stop building cash flow and start building wealth.Chapters:

In einer Welt voller KI-Texte, Content-Flut und austauschbarer LinkedIn-Posts wird eine Fähigkeit immer wichtiger: die eigene Geschichte so zu erzählen, dass Menschen wirklich zuhören. In dieser Folge von Be Your Brand spreche ich mit Storytelling-Experte, Podcaster und New-Work-Chat-Host Gabriel Rath darüber, warum Storytelling 2026 eine der wichtigsten Fähigkeiten für Personal Branding, Sichtbarkeit und Vertrauen ist. Gabriel erzählt, warum eine gute Geschichte nicht daraus besteht, den eigenen Lebenslauf chronologisch nachzuerzählen. Es geht nicht um „Ich habe das studiert, dann war ich dort, dann kam dieser Job“. Eine starke Story zeigt, wofür du stehst, wo du hinwillst, welche Hürden du erlebt hast und warum andere Teil deiner Reise werden sollten. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Konflikte, Brüche, Fehler und Gegenwind oft viel spannender sind als reine Erfolgsmeldungen. Denn niemand verbindet sich mit Perfektion. Vertrauen entsteht, wenn Menschen spüren: Da erzählt jemand nicht nur eine glatt polierte Version von sich, sondern etwas Echtes. Ein großes Thema ist auch KI. Wie kann künstliche Intelligenz beim Schreiben und Erzählen helfen? Wo wird sie gefährlich, weil plötzlich alles gleich klingt? Und warum müssen wir gerade jetzt wieder lernen, selbst zu denken, selbst zu beobachten und unsere eigene Stimme zu entwickeln? Außerdem geht es um Gabriels eigenen Weg in die Sichtbarkeit: von Rostock über Hip-Hop, Marketing, Social Media und New Work bis zu seinem Podcast New Work Chat, den er seit 2018 produziert. Wir sprechen über seine ersten Erfahrungen mit Öffentlichkeit, über seinen Blick auf LinkedIn, über Storytelling-Fehler und darüber, warum nicht jede persönliche Geschichte automatisch interessant ist. In dieser Folge erfährst du unter anderem: • warum Storytelling für Personal Branding so wichtig ist • wie du herausfindest, welche Geschichten für deine Zielgruppe relevant sind • warum Konflikte und Wendepunkte eine Story spannend machen • weshalb „nur glänzen wollen“ auf LinkedIn oft langweilig wirkt • wie du KI sinnvoll nutzt, ohne deinen eigenen Ton zu verlieren • warum Schreiben auch Denken ist • wie du anfängst, wenn du glaubst, nichts Spannendes zu erzählen zu haben • welche drei Storytelling-Fehler du unbedingt vermeiden solltest • warum Sichtbarkeit nicht bedeutet, überall gleichzeitig präsent zu sein • was New Work, Persönlichkeit und Storytelling miteinander zu tun haben Eine Folge für alle, die ihre eigene Geschichte besser erzählen wollen… auf LinkedIn, Instagram, im Podcast, Newsletter, auf Bühnen, in Gesprächen oder in ihrer gesamten Personal Brand. Links zu Gabriel Rath: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielrath/ Website: www.gabrielrath.com Wenn du das Gefühl hast, dass deine Geschichte noch nicht richtig sichtbar wird, lass uns sprechen. Im 1:1 Personal Branding Coaching schauen wir gemeinsam, wofür du stehen willst, welche Themen zu dir passen und wie du deine Sichtbarkeit so aufbaust, dass sie wirklich zu dir passt: https://prleben.de/coachings/ Mehr von mir findest du in meinem Newsletter mit Impulsen rund um Personal Branding, Sichtbarkeit und Positionierung.

Send us Fan MailAI is moving faster than most organizations can govern, and that gap is where the real danger lives. From Omaha, I sit down with Naresh Samlal, CEO of Cloud Source, to talk about the side of AI that rarely makes headlines: what happens when employees upload sensitive files into public AI tools, vendors promise the moon, and leadership is left trying to protect data they can no longer see.We break down why AI supercharges both innovation and cybersecurity risk, especially for regulated industries like healthcare, legal, and financial services. Naresh shares what he's seeing from customers who love the productivity boost but fear giving away their “data gold,” and we explore a different model: bringing AI to your data in a private cloud so it stays containerized, controlled, and governed. We also talk about why the market is shifting back toward privatizing data, how small language models fit into that trend, and what practical guardrails need to exist before you scale anything.Then we go one level deeper into agentic AI. Automation can look perfect on Monday and turn into a mess by Friday if you trust it blindly. Naresh lays out a simple governance reality check: if you can't shut it down in 60 seconds or less, you've got a governance problem. If you care about AI security, private cloud strategy, managed services, and protecting intellectual property while still moving fast, this conversation will sharpen how you think and how you lead. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's rolling out AI at work, and leave a review with your biggest question about AI risk.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

What does jazz singing have to do with LinkedIn? More than you might think. This week's guest, Anna Rössler, has built a career helping senior leaders find their voice online while simultaneously developing her own as a singer-songwriter. Rather than separating her professional and creative identities, Anna has found a way to bring them together, and in doing so offers some valuable lessons about authenticity, confidence and human connection. We explore why so much online content feels performative, how AI is changing the way we communicate, and why the best personal brands aren't really about branding at all. Along the way we discuss experimentation, creativity, stage fright, networking, and the importance of building a life around the things that genuinely energise you. Whether you're trying to communicate more effectively at work, build a presence online, or simply find more balance between your career and your passions, there's plenty to take away from this conversation. Episode SummaryOn this episode, we discuss:Why authenticity is more than simply 'being yourself.'How personal branding is really about building trust.Why social media should be treated as a conversation, not a broadcast.The hidden metrics that matter more than likes and impressions.How to use AI without losing your own voice.Why experimentation beats chasing algorithms.What performing music teaches us about confidence and communication.How side passions can make us better professionals.Why designing your environment is often more important than motivation.The value of creating a life that gives you energy instead of draining it.Guest ProfileAnna Rössler is a marketing and LinkedIn specialist who helps organisations and senior leaders communicate more effectively through content and personal branding. Alongside her marketing career, she's an accomplished jazz and pop vocalist, songwriter and performer. Her work sits at the intersection of communication, creativity and authenticity, helping people find a voice that genuinely sounds like them—whether they're posting on LinkedIn or performing on stage.

Recorded live at SocialWest 2026 in Calgary, Jessica Lortie, Head of Marketing at Toast, joins host Lindsay Smith to dig into one of the most persistent and underreported gaps in the Canadian tech and marketing industries.Toast is a tech HR firm dedicated to closing gender gaps in the sector, working with organizations to diversify their hiring pipelines and running a community platform that gives women in tech the belonging, sponsorship, and psychological safety that workplaces often fail to provide.Jessica shares the data behind a pay gap that tripled between 2016 and 2024, why masculine-coded job titles are quietly filtering women out before they even apply, how Toast's Champions Program is training men to advocate for women in the workplace, and why community might be the most underrated career acceleration tool available to women in tech right now.The gap is real. The data is clear. And the playbook for closing it is already being written.

Pourquoi tes clients ou tes abonnés peuvent t'idéaliser un jour et t'attaquer le lendemain ?Pourquoi certaines personnes te traitent comme si vous étiez amies de longue date ou comme si tu leur devais quelque chose ?Pourquoi être visible peut autant épuiser émotionnellement, même quand tout va bien dans ton business ?Dans cet épisode, je te parle d'un sujet touchy qui concerne toutes les personnes qui accompagnent, coachent, enseignent, entreprennent etc : ce qui se joue, psychologiquement, entre toi et les gens qui te suivent, t'achètent, ou te font confiance.Être visible sur les réseaux, ce n'est pas juste poster du contenu et attirer des clients. C'est aussi gérer des gens qui te mettent sur un piédestal, d'autres qui dépassent les limites sans s'en rendre compte, et ce sentiment bizarre d'être "connue" par des milliers de personnes tout en te sentant complètement seule. On en parle ! Écoute cet épisode pour :1️⃣ comprendre pourquoi certaines clientes ou abonnées te prennent pour leur meilleure amie (ou leur psy)2️⃣ identifier l'effet de transfert et les relations parasociales, deux concepts qui expliquent enfin ce que tu vis3️⃣ comprendre ce que ça te fait, à toi, de porter ce poids émotionnel sans jamais en parler

What does it take to leave a successful career, bet on yourself, and build a multi-seven-figure business from scratch? In this inspiring episode of the She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with Katie Love, Founder and CEO of Love Social Media, to talk about entrepreneurship, personal branding, social media marketing, and creating a business that supports the life you truly want. Before becoming a sought-after social media strategist, Katie was an NBC News reporter covering presidential elections, natural disasters, and major national stories. Despite achieving her lifelong career goal, she realized she was unfulfilled and decided to take a leap of faith into entrepreneurship. What started with zero clients, zero funding, and plenty of uncertainty eventually grew into a multi-seven-figure women-led agency serving hundreds of brands. Katie shares the lessons she learned while building her business during some of life's biggest transitions—including becoming a mother, navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship during the pandemic, and creating a non-traditional family dynamic that allowed her husband to become a stay-at-home dad. Together, Allison and Katie dive into the power of founder-led brands, why authenticity is outperforming polished content, and how business owners can leverage social media to build trust, authority, and meaningful connections with their audience. You'll also learn practical strategies for creating engaging content, improving visibility online, understanding platform selection, increasing engagement, and turning your expertise into business growth. Whether you're building a personal brand, growing a business, or looking for the confidence to take the next step toward your goals, this conversation will leave you inspired to show up, be seen, and believe in what's possible.

Recorded live at SocialWest 2026 in Calgary, Lauren Freund, Campaign Manager at Canva, joins host Lindsay Smith to explore what it actually takes to create content that cuts through in a crowded digital landscape.Canva is one of the world's most widely used design platforms, helping teams of every size create visual content across social media, presentations, video, and more. At Canva Create 2026, the company's latest announcements signaled a clear evolution, from a design platform with AI capabilities to an AI-first creative platform where design is the application.Lauren breaks down her content that connects framework, why the messenger matters as much as the message, how brands can balance digital presence with in-person community building, and why chasing reach and virality is the wrong goal for most marketers.Virality is a byproduct, not a strategy.Edited and produced by Takt.

“Communication is the number one way to remove friction.”If communication is the key to connection, then removing friction is what makes every interaction work. According to Vanessa Van Edwards, the most effective communicators aren't just skilled with words—they know how to align their gestures, body language, and presence to make others feel at ease. A behavioral researcher and bestselling author of Captivate and Cues, Van Edwards studies the subtle signals that shape how we are perceived. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, she joins Matt Abrahams to explore the hidden factors that influence communication, from purposeful gestures and expressive body language to the words, images, and visual cues that build trust and credibility.Takeaways:Great communication goes beyond words. Gestures, facial expressions, visual cues, and even the language we use in emails and meetings can either create friction or build trust, clarity, and connection.Focus on the other person, not yourself. By applying the Platinum Rule—treating others as they want to be treated—and intentionally putting people at ease, communicators can foster stronger relationships, deeper conversations, and greater influence.Activity:Practice the Platinum Rule. Before your next important conversation, meeting, or email, take one minute to answer: “What does this person need from me right now?” Then tailor your communication to their priorities, concerns, and preferred style—not your own. Afterward, reflect on how that shift changed the quality of the interaction.Printable PDF of Takeaways & ActivityEpisode Reference Links:Vanessa Van EdwardsVanessa's Books: Cues / CaptivateEp.137 When Words Aren't Enough: How to Excel at Nonverbal Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:01) - The Importance of Strategic Communication (01:45) - The Power of Gestures (04:10) - A Readiness Check for Speakers (05:56) - Over-Signaling vs. Under-Signaling (08:18) - Dangerous Words in Communication (12:27) - Imagery Cues & First Impressions (15:03) - Virtual Backgrounds Matter (17:33) - The Platinum Rule (19:01) - The Final Three Questions (23:59) - Conclusion

Send us Fan MailIf your teams are shipping fast but the business still feels stuck, the problem probably is not talent or tooling. It is ownership. Grant McGaugh talks with five-time founder and Full Scale CEO Matt Watson about why companies quietly trade ownership for activity, then wonder why outcomes stall even when the roadmap stays full.We get practical about personal branding and LinkedIn strategy, too. Matt shares how he built an audience of more than 70,000 followers by showing up with a clear point of view, earning trust, and avoiding the spammy playbook that floods inboxes. If you sell a service, lead a team, or run a startup, you will hear why being “best known” can matter more than being “best,” and how thought leadership turns into a real pipeline when you do it with consistency.Then we go inside the product-driven leadership mindset behind Matt's book, Product Driven: Reconnect Engineers to Customers, Kill the Assembly-Line Handoffs, and Replace Ticket Management with Business Problem Solving. We also tackle AI in software engineering and why faster code does not equal faster innovation when bureaucracy and unclear decisions create friction. Matt breaks down the leadership essentials of vision, focus, and clarity, plus what it takes to scale through delegation without becoming the hero bottleneck.Subscribe for more conversations on leadership, brand, and growth, share this with a founder or engineering leader, and leave a quick review if it helped.
