Personal brand has become one of the biggest buzzwords in the creator world. Creators everywhere are launching offers, building funnels, and posting consistently, yet very few are creating something people actually remember.I sat down with Chris Do, Emmy award-winning designer and founder of The Futur, to talk about what it really takes to build a personal brand that stands out. We get into why most creators end up serviceable but forgettable, why branding comes down to differentiation, and the three-part framework behind brands people obsess over. Chris also shares why the real work of personal branding happens internally, how to find your voice phrase, and the trust triangle that decides who audiences believe. Partway through, he turns the interview around and starts coaching me, and we go much deeper than I expected.If you're building a personal brand and wondering why it isn't resonating yet, I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction01:39 What it means to un-bland yourself02:48 Why branding is all about differentiation03:04 Why Apple has a brand and Dell doesn't04:31 How status and identity drive what we buy07:29 How Target built a brand10:42 How Kit positions its brand11:44 Moving from features to meaning14:11 Why most personal brands are really marketing funnels16:11 Why personal brand work is internal16:26 How we lose who we really are19:04 Chris starts asking the questions20:24 How getting sick at 24 changed Nathan's identity21:51 Why we tie our identity to what we do23:03 Who are you outside of your work?23:36 Why you are the gift25:51 How Chris answers "who are you?"26:36 The difference between design and art28:45 Why being true to yourself comes first29:45 Nathan's mission32:24 Why Chris moved from commercial work to content33:36 Why your brand needs to stand against something35:44 Finding your keyword and your nemesis37:03 Why the best heroes have great enemies40:39 The three-part personal brand framework41:49 Chris's own brand triangle42:33 Workshopping Nathan's personal brand43:30 Separating who you are from your company44:44 The story behind Chris's mission47:25 Why all strategy is autobiographical48:13 Nathan on feeling like a burden49:29 Nathan's story about his stepdad53:49 Chris's read on Nathan's story56:36 Finding Nathan's rallying cry59:28 Learning to accept help1:01:26 Why we trust people who aren't perfect online1:02:00 The trust triangle1:04:52 How to find your voice phrase1:08:21 Final thoughtsIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

George Wright III interviews Jerome Knyszewski, founder and CEO of Authority Magazines, about how he built Valiant CEO from an online marketing and reputation need: entrepreneurs struggled to get credible legacy-media features, so he created an open-door WordPress-based publication that has done 10,000 interviews in about four years and never charges to publish. He emphasizes controlling the narrative through guided, strategic Q&A (including FAQs and “should ask” questions), strong content guardrails (no politics, religion, lewd content, certain industries), and an ad-light reading experience to avoid distraction and SEO “bad neighborhood” risks. The conversation highlights the power of third-party validation, comparing it to book endorsements. A pivotal moment came when verified submissions from notable names like Grant Cardone led to producing monthly cover-style issues, which snowballed credibility and attracted more high-profile covers. Audience demand and niche fit drove expansion into a network of about a dozen publications; optional paid upgrades only accelerate publishing timelines.00:00 Third Party Validation00:47 Meet Authority Magazines01:14 Origin Story In France02:06 Building Valiant CEO03:38 Control The Narrative04:52 No Ads Reader First06:58 Crafting Better Interviews10:00 Social Proof Explained11:35 Grant Cardone Cover Pivot15:28 Why The Covers Stand Out18:28 FAQ And Should Ask Questions21:27 Most Founders Lack Messaging23:09 Expanding Into New Niches26:49 Free Publishing Paid PriorityThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Hoe bouw je niet alleen een groot bereik, maar ook een business die blijft groeien?In How to Get the Job (Done)*spreken we ondernemende vrouwen over wat er écht komt kijken bij bouwen, leiden en groeien. Niet alleen over het eindresultaat, maar juist over de keuzes, strategie, twijfels en lessen achter de schermen.In deze aflevering spreken we met Selma Omari. Ze bouwde de afgelopen jaren een sterke personal brand en trouwe community op, kreeg haar eigen NPO-serie, investeert in verschillende businesses en lanceerde onlangs haar eigen fashion label BOLD.Maar een groot bereik is nog geen garantie voor een succesvolle onderneming. Wat Selma bijzonder goed weet te doen, is haar publiek meenemen in alles wat ze bouwt. Haar volgers kijken niet alleen mee, maar bewegen met haar mee, van community naar klant.We praten over hoe je een personal brand bouwt dat mensen vertrouwen, hoe je relevant blijft terwijl je jezelf blijft ontwikkelen en hoe je een audience uiteindelijk omzet in een duurzame business. Daarnaast spreken we Selma over deze nieuwe fase in haar leven: haar ambities als ondernemer, haar nieuwe liefde en wat succes voor haar vandaag de dag betekent.Nieuwe aflevering iedere maandag om 07.00 sharp.Adverteren of samenwerken op deze titel?

In this solo episode, Cassie and Ally pull back the curtain on the career strategies they have been teaching inside their Denison Edge sessions and the MHH Collective, and share how they got there in the first place. From navigating the overwhelming landscape of marketing paths as a student, to making the ask in a way that actually works, to building a LinkedIn presence that keeps you top of mind, to landing your first speaking engagement, this episode is a practical and honest conversation about the moves that have shaped both of their careers. They also walk through exactly how they built the expertise and personal brand that led to ongoing teaching opportunities with Denison Edge, and share what is coming up this fall and into 2027 for anyone who wants to go deeper with them.Key Takeaways:// Your first marketing role is a starting point, not a label. The landscape is broad and the paths are many — follow your curiosity, play to your strengths, and talk to people actually doing the jobs that interest you before committing to a direction.// The make the ask formula works. Be specific, be brief, make it easy to say yes, and follow up. Whether you are asking for a fifteen-minute coffee chat or pitching yourself for a collaboration, the people who make specific and well-researched asks are the ones who get responses.// Your personal brand is always working for you, or it isn't. Posting once a week — about what you are working on, what you learned, what you are reading, or what your honest take is — is the single highest-return habit for any marketer trying to stay visible and relevant.// You do not need more experience to start speaking. You need clarity on what you know. Getting crystal clear on your areas of expertise is what allows you to pitch yourself confidently for speaking engagements, teaching opportunities, and podcast appearances. A repeatable session on one topic is more powerful than a dozen half-formed ideas.// Podcasting is a gateway to speaking. You do not need to start your own show — pitching yourself as a guest gets you comfortable articulating your expertise, your elevator pitch, and your story in a low-pressure format.Enroll in Denison Edge Courses: https://www.marketinghappyhr.com/denison-edge____Join the MHH Collective!

Is “fame” actually the problem—or is it just the word that makes people uncomfortable? Alex Stewart is back with me for a very unserious-serious conversation about fame, attention, impact, personal branding, and why the language you use can completely change how people perceive your work. We get into: * fame vs. attention and why the words we use change people's perception * how to make your personal brand more commercially appealing without watering down what makes it interesting * Mormonism, creativity, achievement, and why Utah produces so many artists and performers * pop culture, celebrity conspiracy theories, and my truly concerning lack of movie knowledge * Lucille Ball, *I Love Lucy*, creative innovation, and betting on your own ideas when gatekeepers say no If you're ready to become the next big thing and want to work with me directly to become a Self-Made Celebrity, apply [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe79UrAQVDKQgnNAR6S816zwmGeKRBMeioAXWzwGNO0ZlUE5g/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=105479472736730256395).

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I talk about why success can hide how much more capacity you have, speaking to the Park West team about self-awareness, humility, and emotional intelligence. I share why building a personal brand matters and why earning trust is more important than closing a sale. I also discuss balancing empathy with candor, helping employees become their best selves, and maximizing joy instead of letting your bank account define you.You'll learn about:• Self-Awareness And Untapped Capacity• Building Your Personal Brand• Earning Trust In Sales• Balancing Empathy With Candor• Choosing Joy Over Financial Status

How do you build a personal brand that helps people remember, trust and recommend you - without feeling as though you're constantly promoting yourself? In this episode, I talk with personal brand strategist Bob Gentle about a more human approach to becoming known for your expertise. Bob's philosophy is simple: "I'm there to serve, not to convert." Together, we explore what happens when you stop treating every piece of content as an opportunity to sell and instead use your ideas, relationships and personality to give people reasons to know and trust you.   You'll discover: • How to build a personal brand without creating an online persona • How much of your expertise you should give away for free • Why "people don't pay for information, they pay for implementation" • How content can help people remember you when an opportunity or referral arises • Why your existing professional network may be more valuable than constantly looking for new people • How being more genuinely yourself can make you easier to trust and refer   I also explore the conversation through the Value Whispering® principle of Recognition Before Reach: before focusing all your energy on finding more people, make sure the right people already understand and remember your value.   If you want to become better known for what you do without making self-promotion a full-time job, this conversation offers a refreshingly different place to start.   About Bob Gentle Bob Gentle is a personal brand strategist who works with leaders, boards, and CEOs to turn leadership visibility into influence, opportunity, and revenue. With nearly 20 years in digital marketing, he helps senior leaders and experts articulate their leadership narrative, build authority, and monetise their personal brand in a way that supports organisational growth.

George Wright III explains how feeling overwhelmed and unproductive often stems from poor time management and urges listeners to treat time as their greatest asset, budget it like money, and be intentional about where it goes. He argues that flexible time is a result of disciplined management and resourcefulness, not randomness, and warns against living reactively. Practical strategies include setting clear goals, using a planner or calendar, prioritizing “big rocks,” creating boundaries, setting time limits, taking breaks, resetting intention when starting tasks, and getting organized. He recommends delegating or eliminating low-value tasks, planning schedules in advance, avoiding checking phones or email first thing, monitoring app and social media usage, and improving sleep with evening routines. Better time management reduces stress, improves health, and increases progress toward goals, relationships, and income.00:00 Why Time Slips Away02:07 Time Is Your Greatest Asset03:30 Budget and Track Your Time04:20 Be Intentional and Resourceful06:55 Core Productivity Habits09:08 Delegate and Plan Ahead10:40 Phone Email and Sleep RulesThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Diese Episode zeigt, wie aus einem klassischen Handelsvertreter durch Podcast, LinkedIn und konsequente Sichtbarkeit eine starke persönliche Marke entstehen kann. Die zentrale Aussage ist: Personal Branding funktioniert nicht neben dem Vertrieb, sondern kann Vertrauen schaffen, Beziehungen vertiefen und das Kerngeschäft unmittelbar unterstützen. Gérard Alsdorf ist seit 2002 selbstständiger Handelsvertreter in der Küchenbranche. Er vertritt Hacker Küchen sowie Wagner & Schöner und betreut ein Verkaufsgebiet in Bayern von München bis zum Bodensee und Richtung Garmisch. Zusätzlich ist er mit dem Podcast „Küchenliebe“ sichtbar geworden, gibt sein LinkedIn-Wissen in Workshops weiter und beschäftigt sich intensiv mit praktischen KI-Anwendungen im Vertriebsalltag. Ein konkreter LinkedIn-Link wird im Transkript nicht genannt.

Building a Personal Brand Won't Fix EverythingThere's a dangerous idea floating around right now: that you can just "build a personal brand" and skip the hard part of actually becoming good at what you do. In this episode, I push back on that.I spent over 20 years inside global branding agencies and corporations before I ever picked up a microphone or camera. I talk about what that path taught me, the good and the bad, including getting laid off three separate times and learning firsthand that corporate loyalty only goes one way.I also get into why personal branding only works once you've actually got something worth amplifying. It's not a shortcut around expertise. It's a way to make expertise visible. And in a market where AI is commoditizing production and job boards are basically broken, visibility matters more than it used to, but it can't replace the real thing.If you're trying to figure out whether to go traditional or go independent, or how to think about building your reputation while you're still earning your stripes, this one's for you.In this episode:Why the traditional career path still matters, and why I'd tell young creatives to spend real time inside organizations firstWhat getting laid off three times taught me about corporate "stability"The real relationship between expertise and personal branding, and why one without the other falls apartWhy I believe every creative professional should be building two careers at onceIf this episode hits home, subscribe to Brand Design Masters so you don't miss what's next.____________________________________WEBSITEhttps://www.philipvandusen.comBRAND•MUSE NEWSLETTER  https://www.philipvandusen.com/museCREATIVE PROFESSIONAL COACHINGhttps://philipvandusen.com/oneononeYOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/philipvandusenBRAND DESIGN MASTERS PODCAST https://podcast.branddesignmasters.com/subscribeLINKEDINhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/philipvandusen/THREADShttps://www.threads.net/@philipvandusen FACEBOOKhttps://www.facebook.com/philipvandusen.agency/____________________________________AFFILIATE PARTNERS:BRING YOUR OWN LAPTOP: Adobe Training with Daniel Scotthttps://www.byol.me/philip  GO HIGHLEVEL: All-in-One CRMhttps://www.gohighlevel.com/philipvandusenTUBEBUDDY: The best YouTube pluginhttps://www.tubebuddy.com/philipvandusen____________________________Philip VanDusen is a branding consultant based in New York.

George Wright III asks listeners to assess how their year is going and why they may feel stuck, emphasizing that overthinking rarely produces solutions and that answers are found through action and progress. He presents “the mastermind” as a single strategy that can change results by providing daily focus, perspective, and mentorship across core areas like mind, body, money, business, and lifestyle. Wright explains that while decisions and commitments matter, consistency is the real key, and consistency is built through habits and non-negotiable daily rituals. He encourages finding the “one thing” domino—such as podcasts or a daily masterminding routine—that keeps you consistent, aligns with timing for breakthroughs, and shifts focus off yourself to reduce limiting emotions. 00:00 Year Check In00:47 Why You Feel Stuck02:27 Action Beats Overthinking03:25 Power of a Mastermind04:28 Podcasts as Daily Mentors06:08 Timing and Core Areas07:00 Consistency Through Rituals08:16 Find Your One Thing10:36 Breakthroughs Need Consistency12:04 Take Focus Off YourselfThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Your Buyer Has Already Made a Decision: How AI, Authority and Differentiation Shape the B2B Shortlist Most service providers assume the real selling happens once they get into the room. The prospect books the call, hears the story, understands the process, and finally sees what makes the business different. The 2026 Atlanta B2B Buyer Preferences Study suggests that much of that decision-making is happening earlier. In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose and Personal Brand, Lisa McGuire is joined by B2B lead generation and conversion specialist John Way and brand positioning and messaging strategist Katie Lantukh to examine how buyers are researching, comparing, and choosing professional service providers. One of the most revealing findings is how prepared buyers already are when they begin looking. Many enter the process with three to eight potential providers in mind. They are not starting from zero. They are narrowing a field. AI is now part of that process. First-time buyers are using it to rank and shortlist providers. More experienced buyers are asking it to estimate costs and evaluate potential ROI. When information is missing from a company's website, buyers may turn to AI for an answer rather than contacting the business directly. That creates a different kind of visibility problem. A website can clearly explain a service and still leave a buyer unsure why that provider belongs at the top of the list. Familiar job titles, generic language, vague pricing, and broad claims of expertise make comparison easier, but they rarely make a business memorable. John, Katie, and Lisa explore what buyers are actually looking for before they reach out, including price, proof of expertise, comparison with alternatives, and a clear sense of what working together will involve. They also look at the role of relationships and referrals, especially within Atlanta's highly relational business community. A referral may open the door, but the buyer will often do their own research before deciding whether to walk through it. That is where differentiation becomes more than a messaging exercise. Sometimes the website is doing exactly what it was built to do. It is representing a version of the business that is no longer current. Lisa introduces three levels of identity-led leadership: self-leadership, authority leadership, and marketplace leadership. Together, they offer a way to examine whether the business has evolved beyond the way it is currently being presented. Who have you become? What have you earned the authority to lead? Can the marketplace recognize that authority without requiring you to explain it in a sales conversation? Those questions sit underneath much of what buyers are evaluating. The conversation also addresses a tension many business owners feel around transparency. Companies often hesitate to share pricing, process details, or direct comparisons because they worry about losing leverage. The buyer research tells a more complicated story. When people cannot find the information they need, some move on while others ask AI to fill in the gaps. Either way, the business loses control of the interpretation. In this episode, you'll hear: What the 2026 Atlanta B2B Buyer Preferences Study revealed about how professional services are being chosen Why many buyers already have several providers in mind before active research begins The ways first-time and experienced buyers are using AI differently What happens when your website makes you sound interchangeable with everyone else Why a strong referral can still fall apart during the research stage The information buyers are actively looking for before they make contact How pricing transparency influences trust and comparison Why some messaging problems actually begin with a lack of clarity about authority What it means when your website reflects an earlier version of your business How to make your value easier for the right buyer to recognize One question from the conversation is worth carrying with you: If AI had to tell a potential client what you should be chosen for, what would it say? And would that answer still feel true to you? Buyers are making judgments long before the first conversation. The more clearly your business reflects what you do now, why it matters, and what makes your work distinct, the easier it becomes for the right people to recognize where you belong. Listen to the full episode for a closer look at how buyer behavior is changing and what that means for your positioning, website, and marketplace authority.

I am a big proponent of authenticity, and I describe authenticity as a scale. Vulnerability is different. I can decide whether I'm vulnerable or not, and while I share a lot with people, I don't think many people get underneath the layers of Paula unless we are close or unless I'm being strategic about it. Giving the most personal talk of my career meant deciding I was going to let people underneath some of those layers.I knew I wanted to do something that was going to stretch me, and this absolutely did. I went about preparing for this talk as if it was not emotional. I knew my points, I knew what I wanted to say, and I was holding myself to the very high standard I always have for how I show up. What truly made this different was the emotion. On the actual day, I had to honor the preparation but also honor the moment and give myself permission not to show up exactly the way I had planned.In this episode of Branding Room Only, my coach, Jacquette M. Timmons, is turning the tables and interviewing me about that experience. We talk about why I decided I was ready to tell this story, how I prepared for a talk that stretched me in a completely different way, what happened when the delivery did not look exactly like I had planned, and what the experience taught me about vulnerability, credibility, and the personal side of personal brand.1:11 – Paula's definition of personal brand and how she describes herself5:03 – Growing up in a Caribbean neighborhood in Brooklyn and how it shaped Paula7:43 – Why Paula was ready to tell a more personal story about her mother at PDC16:33 – Letting go of memorizing the speech and embracing what stretched her as a speaker20:57 – The difference between authenticity and vulnerability and Paula's high standards for herself25:11 – Opening the talk without distractions and letting the emotion shape the moment30:05 – How her mother's inclusivity became a leadership lesson that resonated with someone in the audience36:08 – Giving herself permission not to show up exactly as planned40:53 – How the experience expanded Paula's thinking about personal brand42:54 – Weighing the risks and rewards of sharing something vulnerable publicly47:52 – Paula's advice for doing the thing you've been hesitating to doMentioned In The Most Personal Talk of My Career and the Personal Side of a Personal BrandWhat Losing My Mother on September 11 Taught Me About LeadershipRemembering Joan Donna Griffith 25 Years After September 11 with Peter L.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson sits down with Chandler Bolt to talk about the moment he decided to spend $500K rebuilding his personal brand after scaling his company to $75M without one. They get into what actually triggered that decision, the shift from a top-down to a bottom-up approach, and exactly where the money went, production, ad spend, ghostwriters, coaching, and team. Brock asks him how he thinks about ROI on something as hard to measure as a personal brand investment when the business was already thriving without it. Chandler also breaks down some of the unconventional tactics he's used, including a bounty system paying people to help him land guest spots on podcasts, along with other off-the-wall growth ideas. They dig into his philosophy that a personal brand should be an asset rather than a limitation, why he believes "faceless" stopped working in the age of AI, and whether that's a real shift or a story he needed to justify the spend. Brock closes by asking what the 20% of his playbook would look like for someone working with a $5K budget instead of $500K, and how short-form video fits alongside books as his original leverage tool.

George Wright III opens the Monday Daily Mastermind episode by highlighting persistence as a key prosperity principle and “difference maker,” tied to his third prosperity pillar: “I act in spite of my mood.” Citing Napoleon Hill and Calvin Coolidge, he argues that lack of persistence prevents people from achieving goals and that persistence is a cultivatable state of mind. He outlines ways to build it: definiteness of purpose, strong desire, self-reliance, definite plans and scheduling, applied knowledge, a cooperative mastermind group, using willpower strategically, and preparation through daily rituals and habits. He frames persistence as a decision—“it's not over until you win”—and shares examples of repeated rejection and failure from NASA, Tim Ferriss, Henry Ford, Walt Disney, Einstein, Edison, Dr. Seuss, Jack London, van Gogh, Michael Jordan, and J.K. Rowling.00:00 Monday Prosperity Focus01:29 Pillar Three Act Anyway02:56 Why Persistence Wins04:55 Persistence Is Trainable05:52 How To Build Persistence09:00 Decide Despite Your Mood09:51 Famous Persistence StoriesThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

if you're a service-based business owner and your whole online presence revolves around your portfolio and testimonials, your potential clients are going to compare you to everyone else who just shares their work.But when you build a personal brand? You become incomparable. People follow you for you, your approach and your opinions. They build real trust in you as a person, so by the time they get in touch, they've basically already decided they want to work with you. In this episode I'm getting into why that shift from service provider to personal brand is more important than ever.Links:— The In Demand Identity Kit (nail your personal brand foundations in less than 2 hours): https://www.byrosanna.co.uk/in-demand-identity-kit— Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/238226942-yesteryear— Grace Beverley (example of a strong personal brand): https://www.instagram.com/gracebeverley/— Sign up to my weekly ‘Re:Fresh' emails): https://www.byrosanna.co.uk/newsletter— Say hi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/by.rosanna/— More about byRosanna (website design & business resources): https://www.byrosanna.co.uk/

He was once the shy, scrawny kid who struggled with confidence. Today, Eric Feng has built a career around the very thing he once feared: being seen and heard.But this conversation isn't simply about becoming a better public speaker.In this special episode of The Raygacy Show, Rayson Choo sits down with Eric Feng for a candid conversation about what really happens when you turn your expertise into influence—and your influence into a business.We unpack Eric's transformation, the realities of building a personal brand in today's attention economy, what separates people who are merely visible from those who are genuinely trusted, and the lessons he learned while building an international speaking career.More importantly, Eric challenges some of the assumptions people have about confidence, content, success and personal branding.How do you become known for what you know?Can someone who isn't naturally charismatic still build influence?When does personal branding become a business rather than a popularity contest?And if Eric lost his audience, reputation and platform tomorrow, how would he rebuild?This is a conversation for entrepreneurs, experts, creators, and professionals who know they have something valuable to offer—but haven't yet figured out how to make the world pay attention.

George Wright III hosts Mitch Matthews on The Daily Mastermind to discuss clarity, focus, and “what's next” for high achievers. Matthews explains that many executives and entrepreneurs can detail goals for their organizations but struggle to define what's next for themselves, often because success narrows perceived options. He distinguishes burnout from “bored out,” caused by repetitive work, and recommends intentionally injecting novelty—often 15 minutes a day—to begin healing and creating optionality, defined as the intentional creation of options without blowing up one's life. Matthews describes building authority so opportunities come through value-sharing, and outlines the Authority Bridge approach to package expertise into coaching, speaking, or training while addressing identity beyond titles. He suggests 30-day sprints to explore then go deep, using passion and “pissed” lists, and asks listeners what they want to experience more in their next season.00:00 Meet Mitch Matthews02:29 Defining Whats Next04:47 Burned Out vs Bored Out11:33 Optionality Creating Options14:02 Gravity of Success Story17:51 Finding Options 30 Day Sprints26:46 Authority Bridge Framework32:59 Identity and Owning Authority37:48 Passion and Pissed ListThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

George Wright III interviews Yarin Gaon of Fractional Partners about a common growth bottleneck for companies that reach product-market fit around $3–$5M in sales: continuing “growth by addition” by saying yes to too many customers, products, channels, and revenue streams, which increases complexity and shrinks profit. Gaon argues founders should shift to “growth by subtraction,” identifying the small set of activities that drives most profit and cutting the rest, then later moving to “growth by expansion” when execution bandwidth increases. Key signals it's time to subtract are rising complexity and declining profitability, and Gaon warns against making decisions out of context or based only on revenue. He introduces the free Growth Decision Canvas and an initial heat map assessment to create a clear 12–18 month plan, and explains it complements EOS by improving strategic direction and profit focus.00:00 Meet Yarin Gaon02:29 Growth By Addition Trap09:07 Growth Decisions Canvas14:06 Common Decision Mistakes23:47 Where To Start Today25:17 Connect And Final TakeawaysThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Was passiert, wenn Sichtbarkeit beruflich enorm viel bringt und gleichzeitig zum persönlichen Risiko werden kann? Burkhard Benecken ist seit 23 Jahren Strafverteidiger und bundesweit aus aufsehenerregenden Strafverfahren bekannt. Er verteidigt Menschen, denen Mord, Vergewaltigung und schwere Gewalttaten vorgeworfen werden, ist regelmäßig als Experte im Fernsehen zu sehen und erreicht über Social Media eine große Community. Gemeinsam mit seinem Kanzleipartner ist er auf TikTok und Instagram als „Advokaten des Bösen“ präsent. Seine Sichtbarkeit ist längst Teil seiner Personal Brand und hat konkrete Auswirkungen auf sein Geschäft. Nach TV-Auftritten gehen teilweise bis zu 100 Anfragen bei ihm ein. Für viele Menschen sei der Anwalt, den sie aus dem Fernsehen kennen, automatisch ein guter Anwalt. Doch diese Bekanntheit hat eine andere Seite. In dieser Folge von „Be Your Brand“ spreche ich mit Burkhard darüber, wie es ist, öffentlich sichtbar zu sein und gleichzeitig mit Menschen aus teilweise hochkriminellen Milieus zu arbeiten. Er erzählt von Anfeindungen nach öffentlich beachteten Prozessen, von den Grenzen seiner Sichtbarkeit und davon, warum seine Familie und insbesondere seine Tochter auf Social Media weitgehend privat bleiben. Wir sprechen auch darüber, wie seine Personal Brand entstanden ist. Burkhard wollte schon früh als Strafverteidiger in die Öffentlichkeit. Sein Vater, ebenfalls Strafverteidiger, war medial präsent und wurde für ihn zum Vorbild. Heute ist Öffentlichkeit für Benecken mehr als ein PR-Instrument zur Mandantengewinnung. Mit seinen Erfahrungen möchte er gesellschaftliche Diskussionen anstoßen. Gerade bei jungen Mandanten erlebt er eine besondere Wirkung seiner Social-Media-Präsenz: Manche kennen ihn bereits als „TikTok-Anwalt“ und sind dadurch für seine Ratschläge erreichbar. Was macht Sichtbarkeit glaubwürdig? Wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen Personal Branding und Selbstdarstellung? Und was können Menschen, die ihre eigene Expertenmarke aufbauen wollen, aus seinen Erfahrungen lernen? Beneckens wichtigster Rat: Authentizität lässt sich langfristig nicht durch Inszenierung ersetzen. In dieser Episode erfährst du: • wie Fernsehen und Social Media neue Mandanten bringen • welche Risiken öffentliche Sichtbarkeit als Strafverteidiger hat • welche privaten Grenzen Benecken auf Social Media zieht • warum Authentizität für seine Personal Brand entscheidend ist • wie Sichtbarkeit bei jungen Mandanten Vertrauen schaffen kann • wo für ihn Personal Branding zur Selbstinszenierung wird Außerdem sprechen wir über seine Arbeit als Strafverteidiger: Wie geht man professionell mit Menschen um, denen schwerste Straftaten vorgeworfen werden? Burkhard erzählt von Fällen, die selbst ihn sprachlos gemacht haben, und davon, wie er gelernt hat, die Geschichten seiner Mandanten nicht mit nach Hause zu nehmen. Zum Ende geht es um sein achtes Buch „Wenn Teenager eskalieren – Was wir gegen eine zunehmende Gewaltbereitschaft und den Verlust moralischer Hemmschwellen tun können“. Darin verarbeitet Benecken reale Fälle und seine Erfahrungen mit Kinder- und Jugendkriminalität. Eine Folge über Personal Branding unter außergewöhnlichen Bedingungen, Sichtbarkeit und Sicherheit, Authentizität, Expertenpositionierung, PR und Social Media. Hinweis: In dieser Folge werden teilweise schwere Gewaltverbrechen und Gewalttaten beschrieben. Über Burkhard Benecken: Burkhard Benecken ist Strafverteidiger, Autor und TV-Experte.

Is your personal brand working for you, or is it creating more work? In this episode, Emily and Jake reveal the 5 signs that your personal brand may not be doing its job. From having to constantly explain what you do every time someone finds you online to constantly proving your expertise, they unpack why being good at what you do isn't enough when people can't immediately understand your value or see why they should choose you.  Together, they explore the difference between simply creating content and building a brand that communicates who you are. They also break down why your content shouldn't feel like a second full-time job, how brand DNA can bring more clarity to your message, and what happens when your brand keeps attracting opportunities you've already outgrown. Because sometimes the biggest shift isn't learning how to market yourself better. It's getting clear enough to decide what you want your brand to lead you toward. What You'll Learn: The 5 signs your personal brand isn't doing its job The Hero's Journey framework for telling your story How to build a brand that creates opportunities instead of making you chase them Tips for finding content ideas within your own expertise What to do when your personal brand no longer reflects where you're going Timestamps: (03:14) - Why Being Great At What You Do Isn't Enough (05:07) - Is Your Brand Confusing People?

In this episode, Fiona chats with Jac Semmler, founder of SuperBloom, a plant practice with a mission of “plants for the people”. They talk about Jac's journey from growing up surrounded by plants in regional Victoria to building a multidisciplinary business working across horticulture, planting design, major public projects, books and creative collaborations.Jac shares how she has intentionally built SuperBloom as a “tiny but mighty” values-led business, why she doesn't believe every business needs to niche down, and how thinking of the business as an ecology has allowed different audiences, projects and opportunities to coexist.You'll learn:Why Jac believes beauty, nature and climate resilience can and should exist togetherHow getting involved earlier in a project can lead to better creative outcomesWhy your business doesn't necessarily need to niche down to succeedHow Jac thinks about SuperBloom as an ecology rather than a collection of separate offersWhy saying no, setting boundaries and being selective about partnerships has transformed the businessThe role books have played in building Jac's profile and opening unexpected doorsJac also talks about knowing the value of your creative work, refusing to work purely for “exposure”, and why making space for the right projects, people and partnerships can be one of the most powerful decisions you make in businessNeed help with your own business strategy, impact, visibility or personal brand ?

Everyone will tell you to post consistently, build a personal brand, stay visible. Some days it just feels like a tumbleweed rolling past your screen instead.In this one, Vivi Koroma Kala joined us to share the real version of that advice, built around one idea: your personal brand is a shop. She covers what to put in the window, why the lurkers who never like anything are usually the ones who bring the opportunity, and how to stay the same shape across every platform so people recognise you when they finally walk in. Along the way she tells the story of the post that nearly made her quit, and the one that went properly viral without landing her a single piece of work.+VIVI KOROMA KALA / https://www.linkedin.com/in/vivi-koroma-kala/Stories and Signals: her Substack newsletter / https://storiesandsignals.substack.com/+Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction03:58 - Vivi's background05:44 - Brand As A Shop10:07 - The Nearly Deleted Post19:07 - When Reach Isn't Reputation24:05 - Staying Recognisable Everywhere28:16 - Redundancy To BBC Breakfast49:51 - How Vivi Uses AI+Join 35,000+ marketers getting our weekly newsletter (it's free): https://themarketingmeetup.comListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-meetup-podcast/id1365546447Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QvmFdxg5pMwsfPkKjhXl9+Please take the time to check out our partners, all of whom we work with because we think they're useful companies for lovely marketers.Frontify: Turns your brand into a system every team, and now AI, can actually use.Cambridge Marketing College: The best place to get your marketing qualifications and apprenticeships.Planable: The content collaboration platform that helps marketing teams create, plan, review, and approve all their content.Wistia: A complete video marketing platform for creating, hosting, marketing, and measuring your videos and webinars.Prismic: The agentic web platform where teams and AI agents publish quality, on-brand pages as fast as they brief them.Canva: An online design and publishing tool with a mission to empower everyone to design anything and publish anywhere.Exposure Ninja: An award winning search marketing agency turning Google and AI Search visibility into qualified leads and revenue.

Amit Chitre has spent decades working with Fortune 500 executives, young professionals, and senior leaders in television news, public relations, crisis management, and leadership training. Then, as a father sitting through countless introductory sessions at the start of youth sports seasons, he noticed something: nobody was teaching young athletes the skills that actually matter beyond the scoreboard.That observation became The Other Playbook — a practical guide that helps student-athletes at every level understand themselves as a brand, define their values, and build an identity rooted in character rather than performance alone. It's the conversation coaches and parents have been skipping, and Amit made it his mission to have it.Connect with AmitWebsite: theotherplaybook.proBook: The Other Playbook — amazon.comLinkedIn: Amit ChitreSubscribe at hernanchousa.com

Your personal brand affects more than leads and followers when you're the person leading the company.     In this episode, Rory and AJ Vaden talk about how a CEO's reputation influences recruiting, culture, vision, and the way people understand the organization itself.     AJ also shares the four responsibilities she is prioritizing in her own role as CEO of Brand Builders Group and why storytelling has become one of them.     If you lead a company and have wondered whether building your personal brand is worth the time, this conversation gives you a much broader way to think about the return.   

George Wright III interviews Clay Martin, founder of Isla Talent, a recruiting company connecting U.S. businesses with job seekers from Puerto Rico. Clay shares his path from serving in the Peace Corps in Ecuador and Panama to recruiting migrant labor for dairy farms and launching a Puerto Rico-focused recruiting business after being asked to source U.S. citizens who don't need visas. He discusses selling his first business, being laid off after joining the acquiring competitor, and choosing to start over to regain freedom and control. Clay explains his lifestyle-first approach—using contractors instead of employees, staying remote, and focusing on relationship-building—plus his process for quickly placing workers and guiding clients on relocation logistics and housing. He aims to expand into recruiting nurses and emphasizes thinking differently, financial stability, personal branding, and long-term relationships.00:00 Meet Clay Martin01:43 Peace Corps to Recruiting03:33 Finding the Puerto Rico Niche06:25 Lifestyle First Business Model08:21 Why Hire From Puerto Rico11:02 Time Management as Solopreneur15:29 Mindset for Starting Over19:28 Personal Brand and Relationships24:05 Where to Find ClayThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

What happens when the life you worked decades to build still looks successful, but no longer feels true? Jesse Hardy knows that threshold well. A former U.S. Marine and C-suite executive, Jesse  Hardy spent 30 years climbing every version of the success ladder: leadership, influence, travel, money, responsibility, and the kind of career that made sense on paper. Then came the question he could no longer outrun: is this really it? In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, Jesse joins Lisa McGuire for a candid conversation about becoming successfully stuck, a state where nothing looks broken from the outside, yet the identity that built your current life can no longer hold who you're becoming. Jesse shares what led him to walk away from the C-suite, why burnout was about far more than exhaustion, and how his search for a "brand" turned into something deeper. As he puts it: "I thought I was buying a brand. You handed me a mirror." Together, Lisa and Jesse trace the thread running through Jesse's life, from the Marine Corps and executive leadership through pastoral counseling, mental health work, coaching, and service to veterans and first responders. They unpack his Purpose and Principle Driven framework, built on four pillars: clarity, alignment, fitness, and legacy. For Jesse, legacy isn't a distant marker you leave behind someday; it's something you build daily, in the decisions right in front of you. In this episode, you'll discover: Why outward success can coexist with deep internal misalignment What "successfully stuck" actually feels like from the inside The difference between outgrowing a role and outgrowing an identity Jesse's reasons for walking away from the C-suite despite everything he'd built Creating a brand versus uncovering the truth beneath one How a season working in Alaska became unexpected identity integration for Jesse The four pillars of Purpose and Principle Driven, and how they work together Why lived experience is one of the most valuable forms of authority Where faith, purpose, leadership, and mental fitness intersect in Jesse's work What it means to shape your legacy through today's choices, not someday's If you've achieved what you were supposed to want and still feel a quiet pull toward something more, this conversation may help you name what's actually shifting. The next chapter probably won't ask you to invent a new identity. It's more likely asking you to finally recognize the one that's been there all along.

What actually makes a personal brand memorable? According to Mallory Erickson, it's not a perfectly curated aesthetic, a complicated content strategy, or having the perfect business plan. It's getting crystal clear on the problem you want to solve—and how you solve it differently from everyone else. In this solo episode of What the Fundraising, Mallory pulls back the curtain on how her own personal brand and coaching business actually developed. Spoiler alert: it wasn't particularly strategic, linear, or polished. It started with a problem she was experiencing herself, a desire to help other fundraisers, and a willingness to keep talking about the same problem over and over again. Mallory shares the unexpected origins of her coaching business, how the Power Partners Formula™ became an anchor for her brand, why vulnerability and authenticity have been critical to her growth, and what she did when people told her to talk less about mindset and nervous system work and give people more templates instead. She also talks about the importance of repeating your message—even when you are sick of hearing yourself say it—and why she recommends giving yourself 180 days of creating content before obsessing over engagement metrics. In this episode, you will be able to:  — Get clearer on the specific problem you want your business to solve. — Understand why specificity is more powerful than simply calling yourself a coach or consultant. — See how your own lived experience can inform your business and brand. — Understand how consistency can create a strong brand identity—even when your services evolve. — Learn why vulnerability can strengthen rather than weaken your authority. — Resist the temptation to shape-shift based on other people's opinions. — Understand why repeating your message is essential to building recognition. — Create content without becoming obsessed with engagement metrics. — Use coaching and self-coaching to navigate visibility and business growth. — Build a personal brand that people can actually see themselves in.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Work at Home RockStar Podcast, Tim sits down with Benas Leonavicius, founder of the personal branding agency Avium, to talk about the long game of freelancing. Benas started out writing for pocket money in university, spent years earning average income while sticking with it, and then found a new growth path in the last three to four years that led him to launch his own agency. Benas also opens up about one of his biggest setbacks — getting fired from a marketing agency job for trying to change how things were done — and how that moment, which felt like the end of the world at the time, turned out to be one of the best things that happened to him. From there, the conversation moves into building a home office that actually supports productivity, the self-care habits (sleep, gym, nutrition, walks) that keep his energy up as a business owner, and why he believes personal branding across a website, LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcasts is becoming essential in an AI-driven world. Tim and Benas wrap up talking about building a lean team instead of a big company, and why people follow people before they follow brands. Who is Benas Leonavicius? Benas is the founder of Avium, a personal branding agency that builds online visibility infrastructure for keynote speakers, book authors, and founders. He spent over a decade building a lean solo SEO business to more than $120k a year with strong profit margins, no office, and no outside funding, starting with SEO articles written for pocket money and briefly trying corporate work before walking away to build something of his own. That foundation became Avium, built to solve a specific problem: highly credible people whose real-world authority outpaces their online visibility. His clients include Dr. David Burkus, Jay Baer, and Susan David, among 36+ clients total, with a model that's intentionally kept small rather than scaled into a large agency. In the interview, Benas shared that he's been freelancing for over 10 years, only unlocking real growth in the last three to four years, and that he hired his first team member at the end of last year, followed by two more in recent months as he works to document his processes and build something less dependent on himself.
