Here’s a question: Would you find some land, build and furnish an entire building on it, and set up a business and create revenue from that location WITHOUT having the legal rights set up to occupy that space, knowing that at any time, someone could come and rent or buy that space out from under you?
Of course not! That sounds crazy, right? But, you might just be doing that with your intellectual property without even knowing it.
Today’s guest, Chandler J, is here to share all the reasons you need to protect your trademark and your business’s intellectual property, how to go about making sure your business is protected… and sharing a few horror stories about what could happen if you neglect this portion of setting up your business. This is one episode you can’t miss!

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.
