Five years ago, I launched Growing Social Now to reconnect with friends, colleagues, and inspiring leaders during the isolation of COVID.

Along the way, something unexpected happened.

As I revisited more than 50 conversations with entrepreneurs, marketers, keynote speakers, authors, innovators, and business leaders, I realized the podcast had never really been about social media.

It had always been about presence.

In this first episode of Brighter Presence, I share the story behind the rebrand, why visibility today is about far more than marketing, and what you can expect from this next chapter.

If you're a CEO, executive, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, marketer, association leader, or business professional who wants to build greater visibility, credibility, influence, and trust in the age of AI, you're in the right place.

Together, we'll explore executive visibility, thought leadership, AI, public relations, marketing, branding, storytelling, leadership, communication, creativity, travel, photography, and the people shaping what's next.

I'm Barbara Rozgonyi, keynote speaker, marketing strategist, founder of Brighter Presence, and The Visibility Architect™. For more than three decades, I've helped leaders, organizations, and brands become easier to find, natural to trust, and impossible to ignore.
