Branded by Amelia Sordell

<div>At 21 years old, my business went bankrupt - fast forward 10 years later, and I built a 7-figure business in just 12 months, all off the back of my personal brand. And I'm not alone. In this podcast, I peer behind the curtain of some of the biggest personal brands - and entrepreneurs of today. We rift on their challenges, their failures, their lessons and wins... and I know you'll get as much value from listening to these conversations as I had from having them. </div>
