Our guest today is Rachel B Lee. She is the Co-Owner and CMO of StandOut Authority and help business owners and influencers create a strong personal brand, grow their influence and draw in amazing opportunities. Completing an MBA at The University of Texas at Austin led her to go corporate including a significant position in Microsoft. Here, her love for marketing grew more and more. Every single stage of her career eventually gives her the question, "What's Next?".

In 2019, she and her husband Joshua Lee started StandOut Authority. Their focus is on helping 6-and-7-digit entrepreneurs to maximize LinkedIn as a social media platform and to grow their own personal branding. LinkedIn is such a generous place to build your personal brand's awareness. Not to mention, it is absolutely SEO-friendly. That means, as long as you are able to optimize your profile, you can grow your organic reach. According to research, LinkedIn posts are highly indexable in Google.

Rachel is very passionate about helping business owners show their authentic selves as he believes that this will all for people to easily connect with them. People buy from people. People want to hear the stories behind the company. They want to know who is leading the company, who works for the company, and what these people have to say. She believes that the only way people can be authentic is through the human voice. Katie supported this idea by saying that the opportunity to hear someone speak can move relationships at lightning speed.

She further discussed the pillars of personal branding. This includes communication, aspirational clients, differentiation, and passion.
