Strategy + Audacity: Building a Brand That Positions You as an Expert

Asia Dore didn't set out to become a brand strategist. She started as a photographer, but quickly realized her clients had no idea how to articulate their brands when she asked them to explain it for a photo shoot. That discovery led her down a path that resulted in her signature "Strategy Audacity Method" - a framework that combines strategic brand building with authentic, audacious self-expression.

In this candid conversation, Asia reveals:

✓ The five pillars of her Strategy Audacity Method (Vision, Catalyst, Client, Soul, Message)

✓ Why most entrepreneurs build brands that are either too rigid or too scattered

✓ How she pivoted from photography to strategy (and why it felt like abandoning her identity)

✓ The difference between being a service provider and being a thought leader

✓ Why buying other people's marketing courses doesn’t always work for your business

✓ Her surprising discovery that podcast guesting outperforms social media for her

✓ Why the foundational brand work must come before tactics and implementation

✓ How she charges $2,500 for a half-day Brand Cohesion Lab session

Asia also discusses the importance of self-development over business tactics, why having a professional website still matters and the power of simplicity in marketing (she's literally pen and paper level, with an iPad screen that feels like paper being her biggest tech win).
