Damien Foord is on Successful Dropout for the 3rd time to demystify the process of building a great brand.

A brand is more than just your logo and your business card. It's much more than your reputation or what people think about you or how you make them feel. A brand is how you make an effort beyond yourself—a company or project or just a professional persona—relatable on a human level.

For people that went to university, they largely live off of their uni's brand until they have enough experience and expertise of their own. For dropouts, we don't have that luxury. That's why creating a deeply resonating and emotionally connected brand is one of the most important things a dropout can do.

Jeff leads Your Project X, a social venture dedicated to helping people (re)discover their purpose to build careers they'll love. He has more than 19 years experience as an entrepreneur, consultant, professor and change-maker. He is the founder of five social ventures, including IBM's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) consulting practice. In 2011, he developed the curriculum for the first MBA in Sustainability on the East Coast, at Bard College, where he was the Leadership professor. He was also two-time Chairman of the Carnegie New Leaders at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs.

This week Jeff and I discuss actionable strategies for shifting your perspective and thinking in order to realize opportunities that may be right in front of us. As much as we'd like to think we are open minded to new opportunities and changing the trajectory of our careers, we are almost always searching for new solutions from the same mindset that gets us stuck in the first place. How do you change this? Jeff and I outline and discuss six new methods that you can put into practice today:

1. Get advice from someone that has nothing in common with you
2. Change your setting
3. Alter your mind (not in that way though!)
4. Get rid of your phone
5. Draw your future fulfilled
6. Come up with the worst ideas possible

This week we talk about how to succeed and live your best life in the face of suffering, especially past trauma in your life. No one is immune from suffering, but you can't play the victim. Suffering if one of life's greatest teachers, and it's your responsibility to learn and grow from those negative experiences. Let them temper you. The simple truth is that character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.

This week I'm incredibly excited to bring you an episode from Systems for Success. SFS is a podcast led by my dad, Lonnie Gienger, and once a month our entire family gets together for a "family roundtable discussion" episode and we teach on specific topics as a group. This week we discuss financial management and how to control money so it doesn't control you.

It's also exciting for me to have the SD community meet my entire family all in this one episode. They are all entrepreneurs, podcasters, teachers, influencers etc...just generally high achievers. We like so say "you may be born into the Gienger family, but you still have to become one". :)
