Three years ago I walked into the most gorgeous room in Las Vegas. It had everything you’d expect in a casino ballroom, from elegant chandeliers to funky music, and even a tall bar with drinks going up as high as the eyes can see.
Then an amazing woman, Maya Elious, walked into the room. She was super put together, had on a fabulous dress, and radiated love: everyone was instantly drawn to her.
We ended up having a personal conversation, and when the topic moved to branding and I realized how passionate she was on the topic, I knew she had to come on the show.
Though this episode was recorded back then, the lessons on branding apply more than ever today and we simply had to dust it off and showcase it once again.
In this episode, we talked about what goes into building a personal brand that is powerful and attracts the right people into your world. Her advice is authentic, sincere, and encouraging and I can’t wait for you to hear her advice.
