Doing the 💪 work in public, with Kevon Cheung
As a culture we’re all trained to think of people who create as working in secret until they have a big Eureka moment or complete the masterpiece. A lot of entrepreneurs try to work that way too - they build somethings - have a big launch or unveiling and then wonder why nobody claps or more importantly buys.Building in public is a very different entrepreneurial and creative mindset. It’s one which parks ego at the door, brings people with you on the journey and can lead to some very unexpected, surprising and often counter intuitive results.This week I’m delighted to welcome Kevon Cheung. the 'Build In Public Guy' - and the author of Find Joy in Chaos - How to build your twitter presence so connections and opportunities come find you.Find out more about Kevon at https://publiclab.co/----Get your copy of my Personal Brand Business Blueprint It's the FREE roadmap to starting, scaling or just fixing your expert business.www.amplifyme.agency/roadmap----Subscribe to my Youtube!!

Connect, Cultivate & Convert, with Mary Fain Brandt
I’ve mentioned a few time recently that I’m a little guilty of being a social media butterfly. I’m everywhere. And while that’s my business… it’s not the finest strategy for most people.

So I’m very excited that joining me this week is California’s very own Linkedin Princess - Mary Fain Brant!About MaryReady to increase your visibility and fill your pipeline with sizzling hot qualified leads?

Hi, I’m Mary, a LinkedIn Strategist, Business Consultant and Career Coach. I work with Executives, Business Professionals, Entrepreneurs and Career professionals who want to stand out as experts in their industry and get visibility using LinkedIn.
