This is not a drill; I repeat, this is NOT a drill. Your Bossiest Friend, the Podcast is indeed back in action. "I took some time off to rest, and now, it's game time, boss friends." The last 365 days of my life looked way different, more than I could have imagined. I've dealt with depression, trauma, and healing. What they say is accurate, and you grow through what you go through. I wasn't sure where my journey was taking me - all I knew was I couldn't produce my best podcast in that space. However, we are back now, and I hope you are excited. This episode is the return of your bossiest friend; I am laying It all out on the table, friends. 

Enjoy!

It's not what you say, and It is how you brand It! Or, however, the saying goes!

By text, Branding is important because it makes a memorable impression on consumers, but it allows your customers and clients to know what to expect from your company. It is a way of distinguishing yourself from the competitors and clarifying what you offer that makes you the better choice.

Today, my good girlfriend Monica Robinson is in the boss's seat and discussing Branding and creativity. Branding can be a challenge for many of us, but Monica makes It look like a piece of cake. First comes the business, then comes the Branding. The most successful business has the best Branding. 

Remember, Branding isn't just colors, logos, and a slogan. It can be as simple as a "My pleasure" when you receive your order.

What is a Trademark? 

By google definition, a trademark is a type of intellectual property consisting of a recognizable sign, design, or expression that identifies products or services from a particular source and distinguishes them from others. The trademark owner can be an individual, business organization, or legal entity.

However, @thebizlawyer shared in this episode that It is more than that. Rosezena J. Pierce ESQ. (“The Biz Lawyer”), is the CEO and Founder of R.J Pierce Law Group P.C. in Atlanta. Rosezena and her firm assist underserved minority business owners in their trademark process. Earning over $1.6M in revenue in 2020 (despite a worldwide pandemic), she and her team of all minority women have filed over 2000 trademark applications. With a track record as strong as her, you can understand why she is the most sought-after Trademarking Attorney for Entertainers & Entrepreneurs.
