The Brand of You (Why it Matters) | Ep. 183

This week we're talking about the brand of you. What does that mean, and how can it work to your advantage? If I had to describe to people personal branding, the brand of you, and branding yourself, what does that mean? Why is that important?  If you are replaceable, you are a commodity. The key is how do you make yourself into something that people want that is irreplaceable?  That's when this idea of a brand came about for me.
