My brand was stagnant and stale for a long time. Now it's coming back to life thanks to a long overdue makeover. In this episode I share when to know it's time for a brand refresh, some of the elements you should consider if you're going to breathe new life into your brand, the one thing that's more important than logos, websites and color palettes and why clarity is the new currency for success. This is the anatomy of my brand makeover.

Even more disturbing than the slap and the profanities hurled at Chris Rock by Will Smith in front of the entire world is the fact that so many people are framing the debacle within the context of #protectblackwomen.

Here are a few organizations that will help Black men and women heal:

In May of 2020, Facebook accused me of "violating community rules" and permanently disabled my account. To this day I still don't know why. Hundreds of photos, thousands of connections and content that helped me build an influential brand are gone forever.

It's a crushing blow but listen as I share a few recommendations if you use FB as a marketing tool. I'll also explain my plan for turning this obstacle into an opportunity.

NOTE: This is a replay of an earlier episode. We decided to replay it due to a what appears to be a surge in people getting kicked off facebook. You can still thrive without it! Here's how.
