On this week's episode of Own the Microphone, Bridgett McGowen welcomes personal branding strategist, coach, podcast host, and author Isha Cogborn. One of Isha's main goals when teaching is to make sure that you are you no matter who you are, and that is discussed along with keeping things simple; focusing on the change you want to see in your audience; not getting trapped by the small things; and most importantly, staying out of the comparison trap.
