Categories:

IN THIS EPISODE: What really is personal branding and how do you stand out with yours? Why is it SO misunderstood, misused diluted, cult-like, and cliche on LinkedIn? In this episode, MBG gets fired up on what personal branding is and isn't on LinkedIn and why it's the BFF to your business brand. We cover how we stand out with our personal brands on LinkedIn, the difference being foundational vs fluffy. MBG covered her 7 pillars of foundational personal branding and MJR shares what personal branding means to her and how it's impacted her business on LinkedIn. This interview first appeared as an interview on a LinkedIn Live interview in Sept. 2022 but was too good not to make an encore to share with you all. ABOUT US: Michelle B.

Griffin and Michelle J. Raymond, is the podcast for 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.
