How to turn curiosity, clarity, and AI into your most powerful job search tools.Job search isn't just about landing your next role—it's about understanding who you are and how you want to show up in the world. According to Andrew Seaman, Senior Managing Editor for Jobs and Career Development at LinkedIn, that process begins with curiosity, not certainty. “People assume they need to apply to dozens of jobs with a perfect résumé,” he explains. “But the best applications are rooted in self-awareness and strategy—not spray-and-pray.”Instead of rushing to the next opportunity, Seaman encourages job seekers to slow down, ask better questions, and prioritize conversations over checklists. From informational interviews to profile updates, clarity is key—knowing what you want and telling a story that shows why you're the right fit.With tools like LinkedIn's Job Match and natural-language job search, candidates can now assess how they align with a role—and where they can grow. “It's not just about being qualified,” Seaman says. “It's about showing the value you bring.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Seaman joins host Matt Abrahams for our Catalyze Your Career miniseries to share how to job search with intention. Using Matt's “Four I's” framework—identifying, investigating, initiating contact, and interviewing—they explore how strategic storytelling, thoughtful networking, and AI tools can help you stand out in a crowded market.Episode Reference Links:Andrew SeamanEp.184 Fit or Quit?

Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends!   In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron interviews Trang Nova, a renowned speaker and speaking coach, who shares her inspiring journey from physiotherapy to empowering entrepreneurs and business owners to harness the power of effective communication. Trang discusses common challenges her clients face—including public speaking anxiety, team leadership, and building personal brands—and emphasizes that 93% of a message's impact lies in its delivery rather than just words. She outlines her approach to mindset, articulation, and vocal presence, and offers compelling case studies of clients who have achieved remarkable business growth through improved speaking skills. Trang also shares a practical tip: record and review your own speaking to uncover opportunities for impactful improvement. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Your Voice Is a Business Asset: Effective communication isn't just a soft skill—it directly impacts your ability to lead, sell, and influence. Learning to use your voice with clarity and confidence can elevate your brand and business. 93% of Communication Is Non-Verbal: Trang emphasizes that how you say something—your tone, pace, body language, and energy—has a far greater impact than the words themselves. Delivery drives trust, authority, and connection. Mindset Shapes Your Message: Many entrepreneurs struggle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Building the confidence to be seen and heard is foundational to becoming a compelling communicator and leader. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Tailor Your Speaking Style: There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Trang works with clients individually to help them refine their unique speaking style—whether that means slowing down, speaking up, or pausing more intentionally. Leadership Requires Clear Communication: Business owners who lead small teams must learn to communicate with a balance of warmth and authority. Mastering hard conversations and motivational messaging is crucial for team growth. Practice with Purpose: Trang recommends a simple but powerful exercise: record a 2-minute video of yourself speaking and review it after a day. This builds self-awareness and helps you identify key areas to improve delivery and presence.   One action small business owners can take: According to Trang Nova, one action a small business owner should take is to record a 2-minute video of themselves speaking—whether introducing their business or sharing a story — and watch it the next day to identify areas for improving clarity, confidence, and delivery.

Send us a textSolving the $10,000 Problem: Your Path from Personal Brand to Investment-Ready BusinessWhat separates thriving businesses from struggling ones? According to Grant McGaugh, CEO of Five Star BDM, it's the ability to solve high-value problems while building a multi-dimensional business strategy. In this illuminating session, Grant shares his journey from corporate IT professional to business advisor, revealing how a layoff in 2019 became the catalyst for creating a comprehensive business framework that now serves entrepreneurs worldwide.The cornerstone of Grant's approach is what he calls "the $10,000 problem" - identifying and addressing challenges that represent significant financial value to potential clients. This threshold matters because it's where prospects stop scrolling and start engaging. As Grant explains, "If what you're doing is not solving at least a $10,000 problem, most people will just keep scrolling past you." This insight forms the foundation of the BRAVE Blueprint - a methodology encompassing Brand identity, Research, Assets, Visibility, and Execution.Grant reveals how his business operates across three interconnected dimensions. Personal branding serves as the entry point, creating the know-like-trust factor essential for attracting clients. Business development transforms individual expertise into scalable frameworks, recurring revenue models, and operational efficiencies. Finally, investment banking strategies position businesses for capital raises, strategic partnerships, or eventual exits - requiring demonstrable competitive advantages, protected intellectual property, and reliable financial forecasts.For entrepreneurs feeling stuck, Grant offers a refreshing perspective on business growth: "Senior leaders typically aren't operating in the present, they're operating in the future. They're creating the future that we're going to experience." This forward-thinking approach includes developing specific milestones, building financial reserves, and sometimes considering acquisition rather than organic growth when time-to-market is critical.Ready to transform your business from personality-dependent to investment-ready?

If you enjoyed this episode please leave a 5* rating and review! In this episode, I'm absolutely thrilled to chat with Sarah Holmes, the brilliant owner of two physical shops in Scotland, Pencil Me In and Seasgair. Sarah has done an incredible job of not only marketing her shops to become must-visit destinations but also cultivating a strong personal brand alongside them. We delve into her journey from a childhood dream of being a shopkeeper to running multiple successful retail businesses, her strategies for online and offline growth, the importance of community, and how she's navigated the ups and downs of retail. If you're interested in what it truly takes to build a brand around physical products and create a loyal customer base, this episode is packed with insights! Key Takeaways: Authenticity Builds Loyalty: Showing up as your genuine self, sharing your opinions, and letting customers get to know the person behind the brand is crucial for building a strong, loyal community. Identify & Fill Market Gaps: Sarah's success with her second shop, C Scare, and her custom pencil business stemmed from spotting a need and strategically filling it, rather than just following passion alone. The Power of In-Person Networking: Especially in smaller towns or more rural areas, joining local business groups and actively networking can be invaluable for building support, gaining customers, and fostering word-of-mouth referrals. Consistency is Key in Retail: Maintaining regular opening hours and consistently stocking products that your customers are looking for are fundamental to building trust and keeping people coming back. Coupled with this is the need for relentless marketing. Flexibility Can Fuel Growth: For Sarah's custom pencil business, offering low minimum orders and a high level of customer service for wholesale clients has been a significant factor in its growth.   Episode Highlights: 01:10: Sarah talks about her lifelong dream of being a shopkeeper, a passion that started with a childhood post office set! 08:30: The origin story of Pencil Me In's famous personalised pencils – from outsourcing to buying a foiling machine just two weeks after opening in Elgin and teaching herself the craft. 18:45: Sarah shares how she started using Instagram Stories to connect on a more personal level and how a mini-crowdfunder, promoted only on Stories, helped her buy essential equipment and revealed the strength of her online community. 27:40: Sarah's advice for struggling retail shops: focus on consistency in opening hours and stock, understand your customer journey, and commit to constant marketing. 42:30: Sarah discusses the significant impact that joining a local women's networking group (Moray Business Women) had on her business, especially when starting out in a new area.   About the Guest: Sarah Holmes Sarah Holmes is the owner of two physical shops in Elgin, Scotland & she also runs a successful custom-printed pencil business, supplying individuals and major clients like the House of Commons.   Websites: Pencil Me In: pencilmein.co.uk Seasgair Store: https://seasgair.store Custom Printed Pencils: customprintedpencils.co.uk   Instagram: @pencileminshop @seasgair.store   Mentioned in the episode: Wix (website builder) The Stationery Show London Atomicøn Conference Moray Business Women   I would love to hear what you think of this episode, so please do let me know on Instagram where I'm @lizmmosley or @buildingyourbrandpodcast and I hope you enjoy the episode!

Send us a textWhat happens when compassion meets operational excellence in healthcare leadership? Alexander Fernandez's journey from frontline nursing to Corporate Director at Jackson Health System reveals the transformative power of people-centered leadership in high-pressure healthcare environments.Known affectionately as "The Mayor," Fernandez brings a rare ability to unite clinical and administrative teams while driving measurable results. His leadership philosophy—"the heart behind the hustle"—perfectly captures how he balances human connection with strategic execution. Born into a family where his grandmother modeled compassionate service and his father rose from being a Cuban orphan to becoming the first Hispanic police officer in Metro Dade and eventually a U.S. diplomat, Fernandez inherited both compassion and a powerful work ethic that defines his approach to healthcare operations.While many leaders focus exclusively on metrics, Fernandez builds cultures that sustain performance by reducing turnover and fostering loyalty across diverse teams. "I build trust and structure at the same time," he explains, ensuring operational support recognizes that people are not just numbers. This approach has proven particularly effective when leading complex initiatives spanning patient access, stroke care, workforce staffing, and system-wide technology implementations.Mentorship stands as a cornerstone of Fernandez's leadership strategy. Having benefited from the guidance of a CEO who recognized his potential early in his career, he now pays this forward by nurturing others' growth. His advice to aspiring healthcare leaders? Find a mentor and don't let fear stop you from moving forward. "Confidence comes through experience," he shares, emphasizing that stepping into challenging roles builds the expertise needed to navigate healthcare's complex landscape.Connect with Alexander on LinkedIn under Alexander A Fernandez or email at afernandez3@jhsmiami.org to learn more about his approach to transformational healthcare leadership.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Today, I interview Kristina Milosevic, who once struggled with shyness and fear of speaking up. As a child growing up in Serbia, she often felt more comfortable staying in the background. She was the responsible older sister, creative and observant, but hesitant to be fully seen. That shyness stayed with her into adulthood, where the pressure to meet expectations in a corporate marketing job built up over time.Eventually, that pressure affected her health and landed her in the hospital—a wake-up call that made her realize she could no longer live without her own voice.Kristina realized she had been living by someone else's script. She courageously left her job, started freelancing, and began showing up in new ways. Her first steps onto her own path began with a challenge she had never faced before—creating videos despite the shakiness and discomfort of being seen and heard in a second language. It was the beginning of discovering what she was truly meant to do.Today, Kristina helps others find their voice online. She supports entrepreneurs in building a real presence through social media, video, and personal connection. Her message is simple but powerful: be who you truly are, not who others expect you to be. Speak up, show up, and live your own life.__________________Kristina is a digital marketing coach, speaker, and podcast creator who helps entrepreneurs build an authentic online presence.

As revealed in the dynamic conversation between Sean V. Bradley and Tianna Mick, the path to extraordinary success involves treating car sales like your own business. This article explores how building a personal brand can transform your career, leveraging technology, creativity, and strategic investment. Key Takeaways Developing a personal brand within the dealership's brand is crucial for differentiation and success in automotive sales. Proactively investing in your own marketing efforts can yield significant returns in terms of sales performance. Utilizing artificial intelligence and technology streamlines marketing processes and enhances customer engagement. The Power of Personal Branding in Automotive Sales Creating a personal brand within the automotive industry isn't just a fancy trend—it's a necessity for standing out in a crowded marketplace. Both Sean V. Bradley and Tianna Mick emphasize that most salespeople miss the mark by not establishing their own brand identity. The traditional method of relying solely on dealership leads and foot traffic is becoming obsolete. With technology at our fingertips and the automotive landscape rapidly evolving, sales professionals must differentiate themselves. As Sean notes, "Car sales is like owning your own business." Tianna Mick illustrates this by sharing her journey with the brand "T got your keys," which reflects her personality and values. She highlights the importance of colors, logos, and slogans, as these elements create a lasting impression. "You want to be on the top of mind of all of your customers and all of your prospects' minds," Tianna asserts, underscoring the enduring influence a well-crafted brand can have. Besides personalization, the strategic use of social media amplifies reach and builds credibility. "You pick a brand name that's memorable," Tianna advises, while emphasizing the seamless integration of brand elements across various platforms to maintain consistency and professional growth. Leveraging Technology and AI in Personal Branding Incorporating technology, especially artificial intelligence, is a game-changer for any salesperson looking to elevate their brand. From utilizing AI tools like ChatGPT for creating brand names and logos to integrating them with design platforms like Canva, the possibilities are endless. Sean indicates, "ChatGPT can do this, you know, for free or for practically free," promoting efficiency in establishing your brand. Moreover, AI offers innovative ways to manage customer interactions—Podium's conversational AI being a prime example. For salespeople, AI provides the opportunity to remain engaged with potential customers even during off-hours, ensuring no sales opportunity is missed. As the conversation reveals, AI doesn't just automate processes; it complements your efforts, acting as an omnipresent team member that keeps your operations running smoothly, freeing you to focus on delivering exceptional service and building relationships. The strategy extends to harnessing analytics for targeted marketing. As Tianna experienced, integrating a platform like "Build a Brand" with CRM systems ensures every customer interaction is optimized for success. The data-driven approach not only refines marketing strategies but also enhances service delivery, creating a competitive edge in the bustling automotive market. Investment Strategies for Personal Branding Success Realizing your brand's full potential often requires a financial commitment. Investing in marketing materials and tools is integral to expanding visibility and reinforcing your brand in customers' minds. While discussing budget allocations, Sean shares a proactive approach, encouraging salespeople to approach dealership management for marketing support, emphasizing a shared investment in achieving common goals. "Why don't people lift weights? Because they're heavy," Sean humorously notes, driving the point that investing might seem daunting but is ultimately rewarding. But it's not just about asking for funds; it's about presenting a strategic plan that illustrates potential returns. Tianna supports, "The more car sales I sell you, you get. But I get it," illuminating the mutual benefits of such collaboration. However, even if funding isn't an immediate option, looking at cost-effective methods like custom business cards and creative partnerships with local businesses can still drive significant impact. For sales professionals willing to invest in themselves, leveraging resources smartly can stimulate growth. This could mean setting aside a part of the commission for marketing initiatives or using affordable online platforms for brand promotion. Sean emphasizes that "scared money don't make any money," urging salespeople to be bold and strategic in their financial decisions to ensure exponential growth. By crafting a personal brand, utilizing cutting-edge technology, and committing to strategic investments, automotive salespeople can distinguish themselves from the competition. Tianna and Sean's conversation highlights a pathway to success that combines innovation with personalized service—keys to thriving in today's automotive landscape.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

Send us a textWhat does authentic leadership look like in high-stress healthcare environments? Dr. Devita Price, Director of Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital, reveals the powerful intersection of personal resilience and professional excellence in this candid conversation.Few healthcare leaders bring the unique perspective Dr. Price offers. With experience spanning maternal health, child hospice, and behavioral health, she's developed a leadership philosophy grounded in compassion and cultural humility. But what truly sets her apart is how she's transformed personal challenges into leadership strengths. As a mother of eight, foster parent, domestic violence survivor, and healthcare executive, Dr. Price embodies the resilience she cultivates in her teams.Throughout our discussion, Dr. Price shares practical wisdom on creating psychological safety in high-stress environments through open communication and modeling vulnerability. She addresses critical equity gaps in mental healthcare, particularly in maternal mental health, and emphasizes the importance of listening to underserved communities. Her insights on the evolving skill set needed for Chief Nursing Officers—from strategic agility to emotional intelligence—offer valuable guidance for healthcare leaders navigating today's complex landscape.Perhaps most inspiring is Dr. Price's commitment to authenticity. Currently writing a book about her journey, she views sharing her story as both personal therapy and a way to destigmatize struggles others face. Her message to fellow healthcare leaders resonates deeply: lead with purpose, stay humble, and remember that your impact extends beyond clinical outcomes to building a legacy rooted in compassion, equity, and resilience.Connect with Dr. Devita Price on LinkedIn or email her at Davida.Price@JHSMiami.org, and discover more episodes of the Follow Brand Podcast at 5StarBDM.com.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!
