On this last episode of The Love by Lynzie Podcast, I chat with Lara McCulloch, brand differentiation expert and business coach. As someone who believes in building the brand from the foundation upwards, Lara emphasizes the importance of building a brand to set a perceived value. Lara gets into the nitty gritty of how to differentiate your brand in what is a very typically crowded space- the wedding and event industry. She shares the importance of getting uncomfortably specific with your service, how to get granule with your copy, and how to attract your ideal client through your branding. Very fitting given the current journey we are on- hope we make her proud with our #brandglowup!

To kick off this 3 episode special, I first bring on the man who literally made me, my Dad. This dude is the definition of an optimistic hustler, having had at least 2 side hustles going on before side hustles were even a thing. I've been very lucky that he has always shown me that my creativity holds financial value, and how being a good corporate citizen makes life more meaningful. In this episode, we talk about my Dad's 8 rules for living a successful life, which inspired a very special tattoo and are lessons that I continue to attribute my success to, present day! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved recording it, and if you have ever asked me about my tattoo- this is for you.
