The Brand Boss Show

Rachel Jenks

Hi! I'm Rachel, the Brand Boss. I'm an inspirational and instructional communicator, and my passion is empowering you to OWN your difference and ROCK your brand like a Boss. As a business owner myself, I’m especially passionate about empowering Businesses and Business Owners with simple, effective Marketing strategies and easy-to-implement solutions. With 22+ years in public communications, I bust myths and boxes, and put tools in your hands you can use right now...and see results. I’ve lived firsthand the power of having the courage to OWN your difference and show up authentically for the people you serve. You see, I believe that the purpose of Business is to solve problems and take care of real people...not mere “avatars.” I've also lived most of my life believing that I had to hustle and grind my way to earn any sliver of success. 💡 Until I discovered working from rest...and tapped into greater success and fulfillment than I'd ever known. If any of what you’ve just read resonates, then this is for you. This...is The Brand Boss Show. 🎙️ 🎧 New episodes every Tuesday. Ready for you to listen on the go, during your workout, morning commute, or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. read less

The Law of Authenticity - with Bob Burg

The Law of Authenticity - with Bob Burg

For me to interview this week's podcast guest is quite literally a dream come true. For over 30 years Bob Burg has been successfully showing entrepreneurs, leaders, and sales professionals how to communicate their value and accelerate their business growth. Although for years he was best known for his sales classic, Endless Referrals, it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver, coauthored with John David Mann that has created a worldwide movement. While part of a four-book series, The Go-Giver itself has sold more than one million copies and been translated into 30 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc. Magazine’s list of The Most Motivational Books Ever Written, and was on HubSpot’s 20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time. It was also the first book my business mentor gave me very early on in my entreprenurial journey that has shaped how I do business ever since. Listen in as Bob and I discuss the Law of Authenticity, what it really means, and the impact it can have on your business.
