How Personal Branding Is Changing the Sports Game With Mollie Marcoux Samaan
Sometimes building a personal brand is easier to do when you’re doing it for a cause that’s bigger than yourself. Our guest today, Mollie Marcoux Samaan, Commissioner of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), is on a mission to do just that. She is a fierce admirer of the women who form a part of her organization and firmly believes that more people should know about their stories as well as their incredible accomplishments. In our conversation, we discuss Mollie’s storied career in sports, how she came to work for the LPGA, and how she hopes to contribute to the organization. We delve into the changing role of personal branding in sports, and how an individual’s brand can elevate their organization. Mollie breaks down some of the changes she’d like to see in the golfing world, including equal pay for women, and broader access to a sport that can be prohibitively expensive for many people. We also talk about the importance of being a team player, no matter the size of your role, and how we form a part of many teams in our lifetime, whether it’s at work or at home.
