Emily Ford is a global influencer, speaker, and founder of Fortify, her personal brand and business-building method. She transformed her life from sleeping on a floor mattress in Minneapolis to building a nine-figure business by age 26.

In this episode, Emily shares the untold story behind her rise to building a nine-figure sales organization by age 26 and why she eventually chose to walk away from it all.

Emily explains why she chose to walk away from the company she built, how she started Fortify, and how she used her personal brand to bridge into her next chapter. She also talks about the moment that led her to rebuild her faith, and finally face the parts of herself she had buried for years.

We dive into the "messy middle" of transitions, the role of spiritual obedience in entrepreneurship, how she almost jeopardized her relationship, and how to stop unresolved pain from sabotaging your dream relationships.

Emily explains the difference between personal and business brands, and why today more than ever, people want to know who’s behind the business. She also breaks down her framework for authentic personal branding, and the dangers of "copy-paste" branding for your business.

Join us as we dive into overcoming burnout, building brands with conviction, transforming trauma into purpose, and a story about how showing up authentically changes everything.
