All the cool people said: “ Micah, you have done an amazing job building your personal brand .”
I responded with: WT F ?!?!?!? What the Fuck ?!?!?!?
Branding Branding is the messaging work a company does to encourage consumers to feel a certain way about their product .

Personal Branding
Is it Important?
Personal Branding unlike Corporate Branding, is not designed to make people emote but asking people to trust in you.
Influence is the name of the game.
What is Influence? Influence is a jazz guitar album by jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney, recorded in 1975 for Xanadu Records. Sorry, Matt, still checking to see if you are awake.
What is Influence Really? the implicit or explicit effect of one thing (or person) on another
The “AH-HUH?” Moment Step 1: Have Expertise Bestowed on You Knowledge + Trust = Expertise Step 2: Becoming Influential Expertise + Trust = Influence
 
 
 
Becoming a Conduit Human Based Filtering and Content Discovery Human Based Filtering and Content Discovery With influence, people trust you to connect them to people they should also trust. You become a conduit for positive community growth.
