266 - Creating An Authentic Personal Brand — with Ryan Alford

What do you do when you spend two decades of your life working with some of the biggest agencies and biggest brands in the world, on some of the most successful marketing campaigns of the time, and no one really knows who you are? That was the situation that Ryan Alford found himself in, after working on massive campaigns for huge brands. He found himself in a new world, where people care less about the entries on your resume, and more about the expertise that you publicly share, and the para social relationship they have with you. So Ryan did something that would, ultimately, change his life - He started his own agency, Radical, and a new podcast, Radcast. Radcast’s goal is to teach and entertain, and be a big, bright beacon bringing attention to Radical. Through Ryan’s charm and authenticity, the core of his personal brand, Radcast is now currently the #1 ranked Marketing Podcast on Apple Podcasts. In this conversation, Chris will be talking to Ryan about how he got started, the glory days of working with massive clients during a huge transition in the tech space, and the new frontier of Radical and Radcast, and how he’s successfully navigating it by being himself.
