#303: What does it look like to build a brand that’s rooted in real community, not just clout? That’s what we’re diving into this week with our guest, Nana Agyemang.
Nana is a journalist-turned-entrepreneur, founder of EveryStylishGirl, and the visionary behind Sip N’ Slay — one of today’s most sought-after events for women creatives and media professionals.
In this episode, we talk about building an authentic personal brand, why community is the best business strategy, and how Nana is planning for early retirement (at 40!) without sacrificing joy or alignment.
We Also Talk About…
- What it really means to build an authentic brand
- How Sip N’ Slay became the go-to event for women creatives
- Mapping out your long game (and making peace with slow growth)
- Shifting your money mindset for legacy and wealth
- Knowing when to say no, and why boundaries are essential
