Ep #129 (Part 1): One of the most common questions that people ask when they meet for the first time: What do you do?

Looks like a simple thing, but many entrepreneurs struggle with it. How to explain what you do that would be on point, make people want to know more, and potentially will bring you clients?

This time we are going to have a little different form of the episode. We’ll answer all of those questions and also will see how to use them in practice.

We will take my photography business as an example and right during the episode we will change the typical conversation I have with clients into a more effective way.

In this episode, Ryan Foland shares how to get people interested in what you do.

Ryan is a communication expert who is recognized by Inc. Magazine and Brand24 as a Top Digital Marketer and has been named a Top Personal Branding Expert by Entrepreneur Magazine. 

In his keynote speeches, online courses, and his new book Ditch the Act, he helps business leaders learn how to market themselves by harnessing the power of vulnerability and authenticity to build better, more relatable, and more profitable personal brands.
