Check out this incredible conversation between two personal brand lovers...

Phil Pallen is an entrepreneurial nomad currently living in Spain while running his business which focuses on building personal brands for successful people. 

His business was born ten years ago when he was a finalist to be a social media intern for Charlie Sheen, and used the social media frenzy to launch his career. He got his start in Los Angeles,  training TV hosts how to show up online. Phil takes successful people and helps them make their brand visible to the world with his unique design and inspirations cultivated by his love of world travel.

His best advice? If your social media content feels like taking out the trash, it probably is trash.

Three Things You Will Learn This Episode 

1. How his signature brand audits help gain clarity so that he can help you position your brand and build the business of your dreams.
2. Success doesn’t need to be tied to a location; he argues he is more successful because he works remotely from anywhere.
3. How to position, build, and promote yourself online.

1. We lose ourselves and it’s so important to be able to reconnect with ourselves through life changing experiences.
2. When Ashley started talking about her journey and experiences, she realized she wanted to share that with people. She decided to create an experience in Costa Rica to help females take the risk, and leave their comfort zones. “Solo Travel helps you learn that you don't need validation.” You learn so many new things from culture to intuition and the ability to trust your true self.
3. If life isn't scaring you, you aren’t living. Ashley took risks to invest in herself and her business and her transformation is ongoing. Anything can happen and it's important to do what makes you happy at the current moment and release yourself from the negative inner self talk.

Are you willing to put your ego aside to fight for your dreams? When we’re faced with rejection and failure, we are called on to make a huge decision. If push comes to shove, how many of us are willing to put our ego aside to stay resilient, persistent, and patient all in the hopes of achieving our dreams?

Kelly Gunther is an Olympic speed skater who defied the odds, overcame obstacles, and remained focused on her goals. After having her dreams of making the 2010 Olympic team snatched from her within 24 hours, she felt defeated. Instead of coming up with excuses and feeling sorry for herself, she picked her skates back up and headed back out on the ice.

In today’s episode, Kelly shares her story of overcoming the many major obstacles that tried to hold her back. She shares how she overcame defeat, trained relentlessly to become better, faster, and stronger, and how she bounced back from injury and earned her spot, fair and square, on the 2014 Olympic team. This conversation with Kelly is such a treat, and I hope her story gives you the courage and determination to keep pursuing your goals, whatever they might be. 

In this episode, we cover:

• Growing up with a learning disability
• Falling in love with something you excel at
• Making the 2010 Olympic team and having it snatched from her in 24 hours
• Overcoming injury and staying focused on the big goal
• Truly believing in yourself even when it’s hard
• How time in rehab gave her a real life experience
• Making the 2014 Olympic team despite injury and setbacks
• Re-amping up who you are and making sure you’re exactly where you need to be

“But it all comes down to how bad you want it and how bad you know you're willing to go. And I think that's what is so important about my story is that yeah, I've gotten knocked down countless times, probably more now than I skated. But I keep coming back.” - Kelly Gunther
