Graham Brown joins Rob Oliver in this episode of the Learning from Smart People Podcast to talk about how to build your brand. Graham is an authority on podcasts. He has founded a podcast agency called Pikkal & company. (It’s pronounced like “pickle”, you will learn that as you listen to the podcast! I forgot to ask him before we started.) In this episode, we talk about brand building and podcasting.
Here are some of the topics that Rob Oliver and Graham Brown talk about in this episode of Learning from Smart People:
· The story of how a guy from England ended up in Singapore doing podcasting
· Everybody has a great story to share
· There are elements of your story that other people can identify with
· We are all living our own version of the “hero’s journey”
· One of the key elements is getting a stage to share your story
· People follow people, not brands and that is the doorway into business
· We need to unlock the human potential of our brands
· Storytelling is everybody’s business
· People will forget what you told them, but they will remember how you made them feel
· Stories don’t have to be trilogies or epics, they can be one line or even one word
· Great storytellers take away uncertainty
· You need a stage, a story, and the system
· Determine whether you need to start your own podcast or be a guest on someone else’s
· Go forward in an agile manner
· Refine your narrative after each presentation
· Find your start and the “why” will become apparent
· Podcast guesting is about finding a host whose avatar matches yours

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
