VERY smart video here from William Arruda about colors in branding. A must watch really.
A couple of things to take away from this video.
1. Color means a lot. You really need to consider the lessons learned before you build your brand.
2. See how fun and easy this video was? You can make a video like this pretty easily. Get some good content, throw a soundtrack on there, slide some words and graphics in, and bam, you’ve got a video that is now sharable and viral. Try it.
Here’s a few videos I did a few years ago on personal branding.

Dan Schawbel is a master at personal branding, something I’ve been doing for almost 10-years now. Except I had to figure all of it out on my own and go by trial and error. If you read Dan’s book, you won’t have to. My review is below. If you’d like me to review your business or marketing book contact me.

I’ve been meeting so many people nowadays who have lost their jobs. It’s horrible to see this happen in this poor economy. Friends, family, you name it… it’s tough out there.
So I’ve been meaning to do a podcast where I talked about ways to find a new job or boost your career, and that’s just what I did, with a little bit of motivational stuff thrown in just to get your blood flowing. Sign up for the free recording here. I do believe you will find it inspirational.
What will you learn on this free podcast?
Getting a job is about selling yourself. Do you have the right pitch?
How to do something memorable

No more slacking. No more laying on the couch and video games, sorry

I love my wife, so the beard experiment comes to a close. My first beard ever. How sad. It had a good run, but alas, it had to go. Here’s a short film I put together of me before and after the “bearcectomy”.
On a personal branding note. I think having a consistent look is smart. But… you can change it up from time to time to keep things fresh. I will now, however, have a lot of photos and videos of me with the beard, creating an inconsistency in my presence online. However, I don’t think that’s such a big deal. Change is good! Try it!

Today I posted a blog over at MPDailyFix.com about Tim Russert and his personal brand. I’m cross-posting the video over here as well.
I didn’t know the guy personally, but after watching his friends and colleagues talk about him, it’s safe to say that he was a person of great character and personal brand and I would like to be like him.
