216 Leslie Ehm - Swagger: How to Keep It Real and Why Brand Authenticity Matters

Marketers and business owners are always concerned about how people perceive their business. After all, customer perception can either make or break a business. However, this obsession to create a positive image for our brands causes a problem in brand authenticity. You only put out an image of perfection and people cannot know who you really are and therefore cannot relate or trust you.

If you want to establish trust with your customer, you must show your true self and keep it real. Businesses are composed of people, and B2B is actually Human-to-Human (H2H) or People-to-People (P2P). Yes, you might lose some followers in the beginning, but later down the line, you\'ll gain more followers who actually resonate with your brand and your real and authentic self.

That\'s why, in this episode, I have Leslie Ehm joining me to talk about Swagger and what it really means to be real and authentic and how brand authenticity can actually help you and your business be more confident, thereby unlocking your full potential.
