How Being Yourself Is the Best Way To Build Your Brand With Lee Goldberg – Episode 79

Your personal brand isn’t about being someone else, so why would you be anyone besides your authentic self when building your personal brand? In this PR Maven® Podcast episode, Lee Goldberg, an anchor for the Morning Report at NEWS CENTER Maine, shares how he has built his personal brand on social media. Instead of developing a different professional persona, Lee explains how he posts about his life on social media and how that has attracted a larger audience than only posting about his job.
