E258: The Branding Wake-Up Call Every Creator Needs to Hear

Most people think a brand is just a logo or a color palette—but that’s surface‑level noise. Your brand is how the world perceives you, what you stand for, and the strategy behind how you show up and connect with your audience. In this episode, we sit down with Katie Trant to break down what a brand actually is (and what it isn’t), why a personal brand still counts as a real brand, and why any brand—especially a personal one—needs intentional strategy to work effectively. Whether you’re just starting or scaling, this is your wake‑up call to stop winging it and start branding with purpose.
