Finding Peak with Ryan Hanley · How Faith and Branding Can Ignite Your True Potential · 19 Dec 2024 podcast

is still action. And I knew that I had to continue taking action on my life. There was still so much to be done. I just didn't know what. And maybe this is it. Like, I feel like I've hit the jackpot doing what I do right now. And because I get to talk about my faith, I get to be open about that. And I've lost followers. I know there's clients that I haven't gotten because of it.

Look, I don't care. I don't care because at the end of the day, I know I'm going to be provided for. I am still I'm alive. I'm healthy. If I weren't alive, I know where I'm going, which like that's not a bad place to be either. I'm going to heaven. Really? Not bad. So I kind of I really try and take that that step back. And it's a hard look at everything.

What does my life look like without my faith and without my religion? I'm, I'm dust. I'm dead. There's nothing. And when I get to talk about my faith and my religion, I know that I light up. I get to ignite myself and ignite others and, to have that ability to go out and do what they were designed and created to do. I was designed and created to do this.

And when I work on personal brands with my clients, I get to ignite them to go out and do what they were designed to do. And when I put it in those terms, they completely understand it. Like, look, we're all matches, right? When you strike a match, that is your personal brand like coming to life.

And then you have this confidence in what you are doing and who you are, which could be the backbone, like you lean on your faith, you lean on your family, you lean on your friends. That gives you that confidence to shine even brighter, even brighter to go out and illuminate the world that we are in. There's so much darkness. Why contribute to that darkness when we are all light?

Go and be a light and do what you were designed to do. So I get to talk about my faith and it's an honor too. It's a blessing too. And we're called to talk about our faith. As Christians, we're called to talk about our faith and build God's kingdom. So I have a platform and I'm going to do it.

Right. I mean, that is an amazing question. So I think people still, like two part, people still think branding is for influencers. So they're like, I don't want to be the Kardashians. I don't want to be the next, you know, Brady family or, you know, whatever that influencer is. They don't think that they want to be that influencer status.

When I say influencer status, I don't want that either brand. I want to have a super strong brand that magnetizes my tribe, my audience of people towards me. I want to be attracted to them. I want to fill the gap of what they need, which is what you said. So I think that it's...

The pendulum is starting to swing a little bit more towards a more positive sentiment of having a personal brand, because I truly think that like the statistics are getting out there. So 70, 74, 75 percent of Americans trust someone with a personal brand. The higher the trust measure, need, the more you need to have a personal brand.

So what I mean by that is, so someone like a, if you're going to hire a doctor, dentist, lawyer, most of the time, the first place that someone is going to go to is your social media, you know, or look for you on a website. They're going to see, they want to know who you are. If I'm going to have a surgeon cut me open, I want to know that they're not hanging out in the club the night before.

I don't need someone trying to cut me open with a laser with like a shaky hand. You know, like, I want to know who they are. What kind of bedside manner do you have? What's your reputation? So your personal brand is, it's your foundation of who you are. And most people still have that idea that they don't need a personal brand because they aren't an entrepreneur.

They aren't a small business owner. They don't have a product or service that they're selling for themselves. When the When in fact, the opposite is so true.

If you're sitting in a job in a cubicle, if you ever have any hopes or aspirations of moving to a higher position, you need a personal brand because you need to start developing that voice within you and have a public place to share your expertise. You need to show that you're an expert in the industry. So also, I think that having a personal brand is extremely important for teenagers.

Look, I have nieces and nephews who are teenagers now. And while I'm not a huge advocate for them being on social media, we can talk about that in a little bit. Yeah. Because social media can be very dangerous, but it is a way for them to start building their digital footprints and their digital resume. And they need to do it in a way that is well thought out, starting when they are young.

Look, I didn't have social media growing up. Thank the Lord. I didn't have social media growing up because so many stupid things would have been captured. that now that stuff follows you. It's never permanently erased. So if you want to get into college, get that job.

I've turned down people for jobs because they looked great on paper, on their resume, but I looked at their social media and I was like, nope, nope, nope, nope. I can't work with that and I'm not going to. So... Developing your personal brand is the foundation of who you are. It allows you to show your expertise in whatever industry you want to be in, to talk about, to show.

And your marketing is all the pretty things. It's the aesthetics of your brand. Which will rarely, if ever, be right if you don't have your personal brand completely solidified. It just won't. You can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on your logo like you were talking about, but it just won't be right unless you know who you are. Yeah. So your personal brand is your idea.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, and I said it, I previously said it like your, your brand attracts your tribe. We are as much as we think we're like business to business or, you know, business to consumer customer direct, you know, directly, we're still human. We have to have that human interaction. We were designed that way. God designed us that way very specifically to want that human interaction.

And I think that, you know, the pandemic, um, elevated that or escalated that in a manner that we crave that human connection. So whether we're in the same office space or not, we still crave that human connection. Like I love having these, you know, Zoom calls with clients because you see people parts of expression when you actually get to see someone versus just talking to them.

So having a brand and having a well curated brand of what you see on your social media feed is what you're expecting to get also. So you want to be real. You want to be authentic. So there does definitely have to be that connecting point. You don't want to meet someone in person and be like, this is not... This is not connecting the dots for me at all.
