SPI 330: Building a Personal Brand (Because It’s Your Calling) with Jadah Sellner

I'm stoked to have Jadah Sellner back on the show today! She was a guest over 100 episodes ago in Session 205—she's one of the co-founders of a very successful company called Simple Green Smoothies, an amazing brand which got huge in a very short time. Yet Jadah ultimately chose to sell her portion of the company and start a personal brand. Today we're talking about that decision, how it went, and where she's at now in the aftermath. Whether you have a personal brand already or have thought of starting one, this episode is for you.

Jadah's story is inspiring and informative. It's a story about what happens when you start listening to that “whisper,” the voice in the back of your head that can lead you toward fulfillment in your business and career. In the episode, Jadah explains why she's taken the direction she has and how she got there. She also gives us food for thought for our own journey in business and in life: Her philosophy and mindset about starting a personal brand. When we're willing to take risks, become uncomfortable, and grow, amazing things can happen. This episode is here to help you do exactly that. Enjoy!

Find out more about Jadah at JadahSellner.com or by listening to her podcast, Lead with Love.

In this episode I talk about the Power-Up Podcasting Fast Track Workshop—a live, two-day podcasting training that I hold in San Diego—and how I decided to do it for the first time. If you want to learn more, go right here.

And hey—really quick before you head out—I just wanted to mention that I've been doing a bunch of live webinars and free trainings recently. If you want to see when the next training is, and also where I'm speaking next, go to SmartPassiveIncome.com/connect. If you're looking for help on starting a podcast, how to do affiliate marketing, or even if you're starting a business from scratch, that's where to go. See you there!
