Brand development is a crucial investment for any company. Susan Meier is a brand strategist who shares her expertise in the branding industry and how to approach branding for your business. Developing your business’s brand can be a long and expensive process, but it’s an essential step in the marketing and identity of your company. Consumers build loyalties and relationships with the companies they love, and building your brand helps create a personality for your business that consumers can connect with. Finding the right agency is a big part of the branding process, so be sure to shop around and find one that uses a process that works for your specific needs. Develop the unique, expressive identity of your business and bring it to life!
Show Notes:
🌼 We all have a story to tell: what makes us want to be friends with the products we use? 01:34
⛱️ Marketing is a big umbrella and branding is sitting under that umbrella. 07:00
✅The primary deliverables for every branding project include a strategic and a creative side: who are your target customers? 09:32
🤝 Jennifer’s experience with rebranding was that it’s a painful process: partner with the right people. 14:27
📊 Branding should be about gathering data and putting it together in a cool and fresh way. 17:55
👉 The evolution of a brand implies maintenance: there are signs that you might need a rebranding – do your external research. 21:32
🎯 Don’t limit yourself to working with people inside your industry: if you’re working with a larger agency make sure to meet the whole team and know who your point person is. 25:30
✨ It’s not helpful to compare brands – your team should create something by itself: have a few options, choose what you like, collaborate, and give your input. 29:35
💲The distribution piece is marketing, not branding: the price range for branding is huge – check what’s available for your business and invest smartly. 32:29
⏳ It’s tempting to get your stuff out there as quickly as possible, but it might be a waste of time and money. 36:28

Scheduling “white space” into your daily and weekly work routines is an essential self-care technique for business owners. Roberta Hughes is a self-care coach who is passionate about helping her clients add peace and calmness into their lives. Being high-energy and intensely dedicated to work is the norm for many of us, but this kind of lifestyle can lead to burnout and make it difficult to relax during our downtime. Once we find activities and interests that work for us and give us that sense of calmness, we can use them to help shift our energy into a relaxed state when we are finished with our work for the day. Adding these small breaks and activities into our schedules helps us reset our energy, and permitting ourselves to rest can help refuel our creativity and make us more productive and efficient. Find your inner zen and make “white space” a part of your self-care journey!
Show notes:
🏝️ Roberta Hughes is the founder and lead instructor at PeaceFull Living: give yourself permission to go on vacation. 03:29
🇷🇸 How your family background can impact your self-care. 05:12
💪 You may need to spend some effort strengthening your self-care muscle the same way you do your business muscle. 08:05
🧘♀️ Invest in yourself so you can know what nurturing feels like – meditation is excellent for rest & relaxation. 10:11
✅ Carve out white space in your calendar to make time for human moments – Jennifer went from 60 to 50 minutes of coaching to integrate a zen break into her schedule. 15:01
🐎 Recognize the symptoms before burnout occurs, set boundaries, and find things that evoke a sense of peace and calm within your body – like a horse or a motorcycle. 16:20
💆♀️ Create a ritual that you can immerse yourself in. 21:26
🧠 Lower brain waves are where our body is inspired by creativity – an overactive brain can’t tap into it. 24:17
🗓️ Permit yourself to fuel your productivity so that you can be the best version of yourself: schedule zen breaks with the natural rhythm of your workflow. 25:38
💙 Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. 30:21
👔 The 90-day breakthrough challenge – nurture habits of growing your business: schedule your day to tackle tasks with your best brain power. 32:26
🫶 Roberta and Jennifer create a sense of “white space balance” together. 39:18
🎯 Anytime we set goals for ourselves, whether for our business or self-care, it should feel scary: shift your focus to intention and the money becomes a byproduct of the provided value. 43:17
💚 Roberta offers a 28 day program devoted to self-care and self-love in February. 45:06

You can become a pioneer for a better future by adopting a ‘flexitarian’ approach and adding vegan alternatives to your lifestyle.
Stephanie Downs is an entrepreneur developing vegan innovations and alternatives for industries across the globe. Living a life that incorporates more plant-based choices has never been easier, and every choice you make matters.
She shares how raising animals for food and materials is an archaic practice in terms of how much time and resources it costs, and the impact it has on our planet is devastating. Thankfully we can all make a genuine difference with our daily meals and purchases by reducing the amount of meat we eat and exploring alternatives like synthetics and next-gen plant-based substitutes.
Help make the world a better place for both animals and humans by trying plant-based alternatives!
Show Notes:
👩💼 Stephanie is an entrepreneur and animal lover: from owning a plant-based meat company in India to a plant-based leather company. 01:29
🐶 It’s never been easier to be flexitarian – every meal makes a difference: Stephanie couldn’t continue eating animals and volunteering in an animal shelter at the same time. 05:05
🌱 Benefits of eating plant-based: Removing animals from the supply chain, and letting them have their life. 09:40
🇮🇳 The story behind developing a company in India: 95% of the population doesn’t have access to refrigerators but the cost of living is significantly smaller. 12:21
👜 The fashion industry is under a lot of pressure: leather is the most harmful material for the environment the fashion industry uses. 17:34
🏞️ The only alternative available to animal leather is synthetic leather, but that’s plastic: Stephanie’s next-gen leather uses just 8 plant-based ingredients! 20:19
👍 An animal hide will take about 50 years to biodegrade; synthetic leather probably takes 1000 years, but next-gen leather has significant degradation after only 2 months and is not toxic. 24:12
🟤 Progress over perfection – switch to synthetics instead of animal-based clothes, and soon we’ll have the next-gen leather. 26:10
❤️ We all have to step up – nobody can help everybody, but everybody can help somebody: make small steps in a positive direction. 29:27
💲 Every little bit matters – companies listen to our dollars: wherever you are, leave the place cleaner than you found it. 32:15

Your business can’t grow if you can’t grow, and being honest with yourself is the key.
Jason Portnoy is a venture capitalist and author of Silicon Valley Porn Star, a book that outlines his healing journey from addiction to serenity. Everybody strives for success, but for some of us, pursuing achievements may be a distraction from shame and internal issues we aren’t ready to face yet.
All facets of who we are as people are connected, and the problems we have in our personal lives will eventually manifest into our business life. If you are ready to start your healing journey, you must be honest, vulnerable, and ready to share your secrets to get to the root of your traumas. Stop looking for comfort in distractions and honor your most authentic self!
Show Notes:
🔞 Jason worked in Silicon Valley with some big faces but traumas from childhood triggered a sexual addiction: he wrote a book called Silicon Valley Porn Star. 04:16
📖 Healing the Shame That Binds You by John Bradshaw is a book that helped Jason fight through his toxic shame: hyper-achievement can be driven by shame and even rewarded. 07:45
🌞 Remove the layers that block out the sun: happiness is a natural byproduct. 11:19
☯️ Peacefulness and serenity are less of an emotion and more like a state of being: that’s what most of us want when we want happiness. 14:06
🤐 When you don’t know that everything in life is connected: Jason was omitting selective facts to his coach – he thought some weren’t relevant to his healing process. 17:41
✅ We can undergo fundamental healing and progress in all aspects of our lives when we present our whole selves. 19:24
💼 Jason works as a venture capitalist with a different perspective: your business can’t grow faster than you grow, and your business can’t get bigger than you are. 22:31
🎯 Being an entrepreneur is being ready to manifest a creation that shows you in the real world and outlines where your limits are so that you can push through those limits. 25:04
👩❤️👨 Jason and his wife managed to heal – they both took responsibility for what was happening: some relationships shouldn’t continue. 29:08
📣 Letting his secrets out started the healing: a man coming clean to a woman is partially about him being honest with her and honoring that commitment in the relationship. 35:13
➡️ There are different kinds of secrets – both conscious & unaware – we discover them on the way. 38:12
