A big one guys! This one has taken a while to get up through production as we covered so much ground.

This episode is part 1 of a 2 part series with Jac The Hitcher. Jac needs no introcution into the Celebrant world. She's been a star from the get-go and just recently celebrated 2 years in the industry...it seems like she's been around alot longer than that. The reason why that is, is because her brand has been so strong for so long. She is a passionate branding person and listening to this you will hear first hand what she knows about branding.

What was meant to be just a single episode where Jac talked about how Celebrants can improve their brand become a deep dive into her custom created 10 Step brand development course she is currently delivering.
