In this podcast episode, I talk about the power of personal branding, using Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Tom Cruise as case studies. While both are household names in the entertainment industry, The Rock's net worth is $200 million more than Cruise's. Despite Cruise having led in more movies and grossed more at the box office, The Rock has diversified his portfolio by leveraging his personal brand into various business opportunities, from his own production company to launching a successful tequila brand.
The potential of personal branding is massive, especially when combined with patience and consistency, and urges creators and small businesses to invest time in building their own brand.
Key Takeaways:
