Ian shares insights on client management, staying organized, and what it really takes to work with top-tier brands like Jägermeister and Target. This conversation offers valuable lessons for creatives who want to move beyond talent and build a sustainable, professional business.Episode Outline [00:00:00] Intro by Alex Quin – Introducing Ian Deloney [00:01:30] Catching up: Last meeting, shoutouts, mutual connections [00:03:45] Ian's exit from Iconic, launching his freelance design business [00:06:10] Ian's background in photography and creative roots [00:10:30] Transitioning from hobby to career: Finding the right major [00:13:00] The role of business knowledge in Ian's creative work [00:16:00] Alex's experience with content creation and its value in advertising [00:19:30] Ian's proudest recent projects: Jägermeister, SEEK, Kids Super [00:25:00] The impact of seeing work in real-life spaces like Target and billboards [00:28:00] The challenge of freelancing and staying flexible [00:31:45] The importance of relationship building over time [00:35:15] Client needs vs. creative vision: Putting ego aside [00:38:20] Key lessons from running your own business [00:42:00] Building infrastructure before going solo [00:47:00] Post-payment process: Staying organized and professional [00:51:10] Being dependable, not just talented [00:55:30] Common pitfalls among creatives [01:00:20] Final advice and mindset shift for freelancers [01:03:15] Ian's social handles and closing thoughtsWisdom NuggetsTalent Isn't Enough: Business Skills Matter : Many creatives over-focus on their art and neglect the importance of being organized and professional. Running a freelance business successfully requires business sense, clear communication, and client understanding—more than just good design.Don't Wait—Plant Seeds Early : Ian emphasizes that most of his current success comes from relationships and efforts made years ago. Creatives should build connections before they need them, not when they're desperate for work.Systems Before Sales: Prep for What Happens After 'Yes' : Freelancers often focus on winning projects but overlook what comes next. Having onboarding systems, case studies, and pitch materials ready improves credibility and client trust.Ego Kills Collaboration : Letting go of creative ego is key. Just because it's your favorite design doesn't mean it's right for the client. The best creatives learn to listen, adapt, and prioritize results over personal preference.Be a Joy to Work With : Reliability, speed, and professionalism can set you apart more than creativity alone. Clients want someone who respects their time, delivers on promises, and makes the process smooth.Power Quotes:"Case studies—even the small ones—are gold.” - Alex Quin"You have to be able to put your ego aside and do what's best for the client.” - Ian DeloneyConnect With Ian :Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/iandeloney/)Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/iandeloney/)Connect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Our CommunityInstagram:(https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.

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!

Schreibe mir dein Feedback zur FolgeIch mache das Thema Personal Branding jetzt schon seit 20 Jahren und ich würde sagen, dass mein größter Erfolg der letzten 20 Jahre dem Personal Branding zuzuschreiben ist.

Darum lasst uns heute mal darüber reden.Hier geht's zur: Wer will, der kann CommunitySei bei Calvins nächstem offline Event dabei, zum Thema: Skaliere deine LebensqualitätDich erwartet ein Tag voller Impulse, die dich weiterbringen – als Mensch.

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.

YOUR PERSONA & PRESENCE MAKE YOU UNFORGETTABLE As a podcaster, you spend countless hours perfecting your content. But are you making your show truly unforgettable? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I reveal why your unique persona and presence are the most important assets you have. These are assets that artificial intelligence or your competition can never copy. When you infuse your content with your personal story and authentic self, you stand out from the endless sea of sameness. It's this magnetism that attracts loyal listeners and turns casual followers into raving fans for your brand. WHY YOUR STORY IS YOUR SUPERPOWER Let's be real: being slightly better or just another "shade of gray" won't set you apart in today's crowded landscape. It's not about being cheaper, having a slicker course, or even a more refined mic setup. What makes people choose you, over and over again, is your story—your origin, your journey, your perspective. Your competition might try to imitate your process, but they'll never replicate your lived experience and genuine voice. In this episode, I break down how icons like Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey, and Zig Ziglar rose to fame by unapologetically sharing who they are and weaving personal stories into every lesson. STOP TEACHING—START ENTERTAINING Too many podcasters get caught up in cramming more information into each episode. Here's the truth: listeners crave entertainment. Even when they're tuning in to learn, it's the stories and emotions you invoke that keep them coming back. Just think about your favorite teacher—the one who brought lessons to life, not the monotone professor who put the class to sleep. In this episode, I show you how to wrap your valuable content in relatable, audience-focused stories. When you stir emotion and invite your audience into your world, you don't just give them information—you give them an unforgettable experience. DEFINE YOUR BRAND WITH INTENTION Your brand isn't an accident—it's a choice. I walk you through how to identify four to six adjectives that define your podcast persona and ensure every episode supports those characteristics. Are you insightful, quirky, bold, or caring? Structure your content and stories to reinforce these brand traits with consistency and confidence. When you intentionally choose the characteristics your show stands for, you foster trust and recognition in your niche. Just like Gary Vaynerchuk and Mel Robbins attract their tribes with distinct personas, you can create a magnetic brand by sharing your story your way. TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO GREATNESS If you ever wonder why your audience isn't growing, your engagement is flat, or you're not making money with your podcast, the answer is likely simple: you haven't leaned into your story and presence enough. Now is the time to stand out by being more authentic, more entertaining, and more YOU. If you want hands-on help developing your podcast persona or building stronger, more profitable relationships with your audience, apply for a free coaching call at https://podcasttalentcoach.com/strategy-call/. Let's craft your story and turn your podcast into the influential, client-attracting platform you deserve.

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.

The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar life tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast, ranked top 10% globally. I'm your host–a sought after best selling author, keynote speaker, and burnout recovery coach for women leaders bringing you stress renewal, energy reset, and inner confidence. Each week, I  bring you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to thrive in life.  Episode Title: Why Your Personal Brand is Your Superpower Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Dr. Farah Laurent Episode Summary: In this electrifying episode, we sit down with Dr. Farah Laurent—nurse career coach, dynamic speaker, personal branding strategist, and multi-passionate entrepreneur—to unpack how to build a powerful personal brand, shift your mindset, and turn your skills into a thriving business. Farah shares her journey from emergency nurse educator to sought-after entrepreneur, revealing how a tough performance review became the catalyst for her personal branding awakening. She breaks down why your reputation is everything (hint: it's what people say when you're not in the room!) and how to leverage social media—especially video—to stand out, attract opportunities, and make an impact. Farah doesn't hold back on mindset either, challenging limiting beliefs around money, visibility, and fear. She shares how she manifested an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, why in-person events accelerate success, and how nurses (and anyone with transferable skills) can pivot into entrepreneurship with confidence. Packed with actionable advice—from LinkedIn strategies to the importance of infusing joy into your work—this episode is a masterclass in bold action. If you've ever doubted yourself or wondered how to turn your expertise into income, Farah's mantra says it all: "Nobody else has to believe in your vision—you just have to start."   You'll learn:  The True Meaning of Personal Branding – Why it's more than just social media presence and how it shapes your reputation.  How to Stand Out in a Crowded Market – Farah's key strategies for differentiating yourself and aligning your brand with your core values.  The Power of Video & Social Media – Why LinkedIn and live videos are game-changers for visibility and authority.  From Nurse to Entrepreneur – How to leverage transferable skills (like adaptability and problem-solving) to build a profitable business.  Overcoming Fear & Scarcity Mindset – Why investing in yourself is non-negotiable and how to silence self-doubt.  Manifestation in Action – How Farah landed on The Jennifer Hudson Show by believing in her vision before it happened.  Why In-Person Events Accelerate Success – The untapped power of networking, retreats, and live experiences.  Having Fun While Building Your Brand – Why joy, creativity, and authenticity are your greatest business assets.  How to Take Bold Action – Farah's no-excuses approach to launching ideas fast (like planning a conference in under 3 months!).   Memorable Quotes: "Fear is just a fun story we make up—break through it, and everything changes." "Nurses are natural CEOs—we're problem-solvers, quick thinkers, and adaptable. Your skills are your superpower." "Stop waiting for permission. Nobody else has to believe in your vision—you just have to start." "If your business isn't fun, you're doing it wrong. Dance through the process!"   Resources & Mentions: Website: nursefarah.com  LinkedIn: @FarahLaurent (Where she posts daily video content!)  Instagram: @nursefarah TV Feature Mentioned: The Jennifer Hudson Show – Farah's manifestation success story!   Actionable Steps for Listeners:  1. Define Your Personal Brand (Today!) Ask yourself: "What do I want to be known for?" Write down 3 core values that represent you (e.g., innovation, empathy, boldness). Draft a 1-sentence brand statement: "I help [X audience] achieve [Y result] through [Z unique approach]."   2. Start with Video (No Perfect Setup Needed!) Record a 30-second LinkedIn video introducing yourself and your expertise. Pro tip: Go live at least once this week—even if just for 5 minutes! (Farah's secret to organic reach.)   3. Monetize Your Skills List 3 transferable skills from your current/past job (e.g., teaching, problem-solving, organizing). Brainstorm 1 paid offer (e.g., coaching, ebook, workshop) using those skills.    4. Crush Fear with Action "5-Second Rule": The next time you hesitate, count *5-4-3-2-1* and DO IT (applying for opportunities, posting content, etc.). Write down 1 scary goal (e.g., "Speak at a conference") and take 1 step toward it today (e.g., DM an event organizer).   5. Plan Your First (or Next) Event Host a free Zoom meetup or local coffee chat for your network. Theme idea: "3 Tips to [Your Expertise]" (e.g., "3 Tips for Nurses Starting a Side Hustle").    6. Manifest Like Farah Write your "Already Done" list: "I'm so grateful I [achieved X goal]" (e.g., "I'm so grateful I spoke on a podcast!"). Act as if it's happened (e.g., post about your "podcast tips" before you're booked). Final Thought: Your dream brand and business aren't built on someday—they're built on today. Stop waiting for the perfect moment; start with what you have, where you are. The world needs your voice, your expertise, and your unique magic. Press record, take the leap, and watch how quickly opportunity follows courage. Your time is NOW.    What listeners have to say: Dr. Farah Laurent's episode sparked immediate action for so many listeners: nurses, entrepreneurs, and career-changers alike. Sarah T. shared how Farah's mantra about fear being 'just a story' gave her the courage to launch her coaching business, landing three clients in her first week. James L. tried Farah's signature LinkedIn Live strategy and was invited to speak at an industry event that same day. Nurse Priya K. had never considered entrepreneurship until this episode gave her both the practical roadmap and the confidence to begin her journey. These powerful transformations prove one thing: when you combine Farah's actionable advice with bold execution, breakthroughs happen fast.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Authenticity can be described as a combination of the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves  and others, which shape our identity and actions. The journey to authenticity begins with noticing the stories we tell ourselves and questioning their truth to better understand who we truly are. While authenticity is often described as being true to oneself, there are a range of pitfalls that may result from our behaving authentically. Take action by making a note of the stories you tell yourself, then questioning whether they are truly reflective of who you are - these stories are at the heart of how you show up as a leader so to shift your leadership and what you are known for, you may need to rethink the stories!     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

In this episode, Alex Quin highlights a massive shift impacting digital marketing and business strategy: the global rollout of Google's AI Overviews. Initially tested as the Search Generative Experience, this AI feature now delivers summarized search results, drastically altering consumer behavior and brand visibility online. Alex explains how traditional SEO and SEM rules are rapidly changing, why businesses must adapt their content strategies, and how AI-driven search is shaping purchasing decisions. If your brand isn't optimizing for AI, it risks losing market share to competitors who are.Episode Outline[00:00] Introduction to AI Overviews and the future of search[01:00] How AI summaries are changing SEO and user behavior[02:00] The impact on organic traffic and traditional ranking goals[03:00] Adapting your content and paid strategies for AI search[04:00] Final thoughts: embrace AI or risk fading out of searchWisdom NuggetsAdapt or Fade: AI summaries are transforming search behavior.

Send us a textWhat happens when your work no longer feels true to who you are? In this eye-opening conversation with Professor Richard Thompson, we explore the challenging yet rewarding journey from corporate success to educational impact – a transition that reveals profound lessons about purpose, authenticity, and personal reinvention.After 25 years in telecommunications with companies like AT&T, Thompson reached a critical crossroads when he could no longer deliver the customer satisfaction that had once energized him. Rather than continuing down a path that conflicted with his values, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery that ultimately revealed his true purpose: helping people grow. This realization led him to education, where he now empowers students to find their own path by understanding their passions, strengths, and interests.Thompson shares a practical framework for anyone contemplating career transitions: identify what you're passionate about (what you'd do without payment), what you're good at (as validated by others), and what genuinely interests you. By exploring careers connected to these elements, you can uncover dozens of potential paths aligned with your authentic self. The critical insight? You don't start over when transitioning – you repackage the valuable skills you've accumulated throughout your professional life.For professionals feeling stuck or unfulfilled, Thompson offers reassurance that your experience is never wasted. The key lies in networking extensively, researching thoroughly before making changes, and understanding that modern careers require adaptability. As he wisely observes, three things are always in motion: social norms, technology, and time. Don't waste precious time in work that doesn't align with your true self. Instead, focus on who you want to BE rather than what you want to HAVE, and everything else will naturally follow.Ready to discover your purpose and make a meaningful career transition? Listen now and learn how to turn professional expertise into personal fulfillment. Then share your own transition story with us – we'd love to hear how you're redefining success on your terms.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

We have all been there, you think you can do something yourself to save a buck. Problem is you end up spending your valuable time trying to figure out something you have no knowledge of to avoid spending money and it ends up costing you way more money in the long run.   A guy called me over the weekend asking for advice on creating a new website for him because his girlfriend created the first one and they broke up so she was threatening to take it down. He hesitated on spending the money thinking he could do it himself. I asked him how many websites he had created and he said, "well, none." I reminded him of the time it would take for him to figure out how to create a website when he could be working on his business and hand it over to an expert.   It got me thinking about the reasons hiring a marketing expert will save you time and money in the long run. Check out "5 Reasons You Need a Marketing Pro" on the next episode of the DO IT MY WAY Podcast.   As a business owner, your time is your most valuable asset. Spend it wisely!

In the age of social media and influencers, we're constantly pushed to think of ourselves as brands—shiny packages containing all of our best traits to market to employers and followers. But striving to build a “personal brand” may actually hinder your ability to make genuine connections and maintain a strong reputation.

The power of creating the reputation you want to have.Whether you know it or not, you have a brand. What that brand is, says Lorraine Lee, doesn't happen by accident. “You can either form and create it, or you can let people define it for you.”A teacher, content creator, speaker, and author of Unforgettable Presence: Get Seen, Gain Influence and Catapult Your Career, Lee helps people improve their communication presence and define their personal and professional brands. “Your brand is essentially your reputation,” she says. And while she acknowledges that “it can feel intimidating” to actively steer how we're perceived, her EPIC framework helps navigate this challenge by examining our Experiences, Personality, Identity, and Community.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Lee and host Matt Abrahams explore strategies for showing up memorably in both virtual and in-person settings.
