Throw out the elevator pitch and introduce yourself in all your brilliance

What's this episode about?
In this episode of The Disobedient Business Podcast, Pippa hosts a conversation with Ellie Kime, a personal branding copywriter specialising in helping small business owners articulate their value. 

Diving into the theme of 'Throwing out the ick elevator pitch, and introducing yourself in all your brilliance,' this episode is packed with advice for newbie business owners, particularly those building service-based businesses, navigating the early overwhelm of presenting their business. Ellie shares insights from her journey, emphasising the significance of genuine self-representation and moving beyond traditional, stagnant elevator pitches towards making meaningful connections. 

We also tackle some of the networking challenges and embrace personal quirks (like loving One Direction), and the importance of 'being yourself' in professional settings. We wrap the episode up with practical advice for novice business owners on crafting their introductions and using personalised communication in fostering some bangin' business relationships.
