00:00 - 00:31 "People who are terrified of speaking usually are not calling me.

And now with Facebook Live and YouTube videos and virtual meetings, there's just so many ways that you can get out there. It's more accessible than it was maybe in the 80s or the 90s or even the early 2000s. Now anyone can do it.” — Leisa Reid

00:00 - 00:30 "When you understand that brand is everything that you do. It's what people say about you when you're not in the room. It's not about your logo and your colors and your jingle or your tagline or your slogan or all these catchy things that we, you know, the, the Mad Men days they did to make an accessible and make them think that we're really smart and do these things. No, no, no. The practical tools that you need to create a great brand is synonymous with the tools you need to create a great business.
