The Profit Priority Podcast LoriAnn Kuntz

As a creative business owner it can be so easy to jump from creative project to creative project. It's absolutely normal to have multiple ideas, offers, projects, or brands. But how do you balance and manage it all? I have a personal and business brand, and over the last year or so it's been fun to navigate finding that balance. That's what we're talking about today with Susan Meier.

For more than 20 years, Susan has helped Fortune 500 companies define brand strategy and create distinctive messaging. She is now using these tools, along with what she’s learned on her own zig-zag career path across business, art, and parenting, to empower women to craft their personal brand and discover a roadmap toward a life of purpose.
