Personal Branding Specialist and international entrepreneur Cora Spoladore is back on the Know, Like & Trust Show once again! If you haven’t had a chance to hear her before, check out Shaping Your Brand With Style and Soul in Episode 6 of the podcast where we talk about Cora’s take on starting your business, branding and design using emotions, and redefining and aligning your visual brand with your values. It’s a great episode for sure!
This episode was decided on from various conversations we’ve had and the realization that we both had passion for helping our clients succeed with a strong personal brand. In fact, from our numerous Skype and phone calls, we found that the first episode just skimmed the surface of what we want to share with entrepreneurs about building their personal brand, that we needed another show to talk about it. In this episode, we talk about everything from brand positioning to personal stories. And then we really get into our own zones of genius and how we’ve added on services when we wanted to expand because what we were “good at” wasn’t enough for us anymore.
