ABOUT THE SHOW The LinkedIn Branding Show by #MichelleSquared, aka Michelle B. Griffin and Michelle J. Raymond, is the podcast for women entrepreneurs, experts, and small business owners to rise up and stand as they build their personal brands and business brands on LinkedIn. THE BACKSTORY We met on LinkedIn through the power of commenting in December 2020. Together we have supported each other with our complementary skills and knowledge to rise up on LinkedIn and in our own businesses. We both quickly realized that the “Power of Michelle Squared” was a force that would propel our business success more than what was possible on our own. We wanted to create a space for women and for women as a tribute to that as we both wish to pay it forward. Creating a community of powerful and amazing women entrepreneurs, experts, and business owners who are looking to attract ideal clients and business opportunities through personal and business branding on LinkedIn.
