Episode 65: Personal Branding w/ Fancyfied

Whether you're heading to graduate school or finishing up another year (congrats!) your personal brand is critical. Gary Vee says it well, "Your personal brand is your reputation. And your reputation in perpetuity is the foundation of your career." On your already long list of to-do's as a scholar you also have to spend time establishing your authority in the classroom, at conferences and now on #academictwitter. If you don't know the first thing about personal branding, listen to the first part of this 2-episode interview with Lisa Francoeur Mesa of Fancyfied, where she shares her story and provides the reasoning behind why you need to care about your personal brand.
