With so many businesses shifting to social media exposure to grow their businesses, I've started to get this question a lot - "I've been using this hashtag for my biz and people seem to love it and associate it with my brand. So... can I trademark it?" Well, I'm happy to report that I have the answer! And it may seriously surprise you.

Can a hashtag be a trademark?

Hey, I'm Joey Vitale. I talk with business owners every day about growth, team, and legal stuff—so I decided to hit record and turn those chats into a weekly show.

This is the podcast I wish I had when I was starting out.

Some weeks, I'll share what's working inside my businesses, Indie Law and Skybreaker. Other weeks, I'll bring on mentors, clients, and friends who've helped me level up.

The goal here is simple: help you build a business that gives you freedom, peace of mind, and real impact.
No fluff. Just short, clear conversations you can actually use. With some behind-the-scenes stories from the trenches.

I've wanted to do this for a while, and it finally feels like the right time.

Let's get into it.
