352: Personal Branding for Business and Life with Travis Crutcher

Travis Crutcher is back as my guest… and THIS time we’re talking about how important the concept of “Personal Branding” needs to be to EVERYONE right now.  No matter what you do for work… whether you own your own business or you work for someone else… personal brand matters.  AND… let’s be real… personal brand… at least how we’re going to define it… matters in LIFE too.  Now, we’re not talking about trying to be famous or to go all Cardasian.  What we’re talking about is how do you present yourself to the world?  And we’re going to talk about heart stuff… mental stuff… business strategy and life strategy and I think you’re going to dig it!  Especially if you’re wanting to make an impact on the world in some small or big way.  With your career… your business and… or… your life!  And hey… if you’re listening to DREAM THINK DO… I know that’s true for you!  

Now, I’m going to be talking with my friend Travis Crutcher for this episode.  You may remember from episode 344… but Travis is a Success Coach and Speaker who helps dynamic people get clarity, increase impact, and live a life they love!  He’s a Retired Army Ranger and he spent some time in the corporate space as an executive too. After all of that… he launched his coaching and speaking business and I’m VERY proud to say that he’s a key member of Acceleration… my mastermind for coaches and speakers.  And that’s given me a front-row seat to see him applying the concepts we’re going to be talking about in his business and more importantly… he’s also using them to make the world a better place!  

Oh… and make sure you listen to the very end… because even though my bride Melissa isn’t “officially” on this episode… I tell a story about her that Travis and I agreed… allowed her to steal the show!  So yeah… stay with it!  I think you’re going to dig it… so let’s dive in!
