On this episode of The Leadership Locker, Rich is joined by author and podcast host Mike Kim. Listen in as Rich and Mike discuss where to start with building your personal brand, why personal branding isn’t self-indulgent, and why relationships are like rocket ships.

Mike is a business coach and marketing strategist who specializes in personal branding, product launch strategies, and copywriting. His core philosophy of marketing is this:

Marketing isn’t about closing a sale, it’s about opening a relationship.

He believes when people get this part of marketing right, results follow. He's used this same approach to serve today’s most influential thought leaders including John Maxwell, Donald Miller, Catalyst, and Daniel G. Amen, MD.

Before running his own consulting business, he worked for several years as the CMO of a successful multi-million dollar company near New York City. He also hosts the You Are the Brand Podcast.
