Maximize Your Brand with Markeith Braden

Have you ever dreamed of walking away from the daily grind and never looking back? The reality is that most people today don't feel a real connection to their jobs.

The latest Gallup State of the American Workplace report reveals that almost 70% of employees are disengaged at work or not engaged at all—they are just there. These statistics paint a bleak picture of corporate life. Yet, there are plenty of entrepreneurs out there making money doing what they love.

If you've decided that you'd like to start a business, it is possible to turn that dream into a reality. The key to going from employee to entrepreneur is to know yourself, plan well and set realistic goals.

In this episode, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Colin Yearwood on his Employee To Entrepreneur FB Live Series. This time I get to be interviewed & share my journey from Employee to Entrepreneur.

This week I interview Angus Nelson, Executive Life Strategy Coach, as we discuss, How to Lead During A Crisis & Maintain A Mindset of Success.

Angus, helps high-performing leaders take their next BIG step in just 90 days. He co-hosts the podcast, "Studio CMO" and is the host of "Up in Your Business". Angus has spoken for brands like Walmart, Whole Foods, BMW, Coke, & Adobe. He's an avid coffee drinker and aficionado of all things human behavior, identical twins, and nachos.
