  • Your Story is Your Superpower with Corey Andrew Powell
    Jan 8 2026

    Your personal brand is being built right now, whether you're intentional about it or not.

    In this episode, media host and brand strategist Corey Andrew Powell joins me to explore how clarity, consistency, and connection shape the way the world sees you.

    Corey shares why your seemingly ordinary story holds more power than you think, and how to stop shrinking yourself to make others comfortable. You'll hear about the soggy grilled cheese that tanked a brand for 30 years, the privacy setting error that ended a teaching career, and the hot chocolate stand story that transformed a business leader's entire approach to competition. Plus, we tackle how to balance authenticity with professionalism across all platforms.

    This conversation is for anyone juggling multiple passions, navigating career pivots, or ready to stop playing small and start owning their unique voice unapologetically.
