In this week’s episode of Engage And Thrive (also known as EAT With Taelon), we’re busting the myth that personal branding is just for influencers. Whether you're a founder, freelancer, or leading a team, you've already got a personal brand. The question is: are you using it intentionally?

We break down the difference between personal brands, influencers, and KOLs, and explore how being purposeful with your presence builds trust, credibility, and long-term business growth. You’ll come away with tips on developing a personal brand strategy that aligns with your goals and connects with your audience both online and in the real world.

If you’ve ever hesitated to “put yourself out there,” this is your sign to do it with clarity, consistency, and confidence.
