Welcome to Gold Medal Moments on Personal Injury Mastermind, a special mini-series that highlights Chris’ favorite lessons. 

In just four years, Amanda Demanda (@amandademandalaw) has exploded into the Florida market. We're talking 25 employees, 1,000+ cases won, and over $500 million recovered. A bomb-proof unique selling proposition (USP) that speaks directly to her target audience is at the core of her success. By working backward from her ideal clients, Amanda has crafted a brand that's impossible to ignore – think pink branding and high heels that turn heads and win cases.

But Amanda's secret sauce isn't just about looks. It's about leveraging what makes you unique to connect with clients on a deeper level. She's mastered the art of using social media as a powerful validation tool, not just a numbers game. 

Ready to unleash your own unique power and dominate your market? Amanda's approach proves you don't need deep pockets – just deep authenticity and a USP that packs a punch.

Welcome to Gold Medal Moments on Personal Injury Mastermind, a special mini-series that highlights Chris’ favorite lessons from former PIM guests. 

Perception is everything. Your personal branding extends beyond marketing- permeating every aspect of your practice. It’s not just about social media—it's about standing out in clients' minds before they even step into your office.

It's about consistently projecting your values and skills in every interaction, creating a powerful, lasting impression that sets you apart in clients' minds - and the minds of the competition. No one understands the far-reaching impact than the GOATS of personal branding -  Gina Zapanta and Mike Alder, the powerhouse husband and wife team behind ZA Lawyers.
