1. What is your brand story? with Heather Roma Steve Worthy 31:31

Do you have a brand story?  Do people know what you stand for? Do they know the problem you solve for them?

Your brand, your content, is all about your story. It’s about who you are and why you’re here.

I am joined by Heather Roma. She is a screenwriter, branding strategist, and graphic designer who helps small business pioneers write their stories and create brands that truly connect.

In this episode, Heather and I discuss everything branding and the importance of knowing the story of your brand, in the context of podcasting and live streaming. She also shares her story of starting out in her business, how much she loves Star Wars, and how these relate to building her own brand over the years.
