Today we’re talking about building a brand with Kimberly DeShields-Spencer, the founder and CEO of four companies: UImpact, Sow.Reap.Harvest, Behind Her Brand, and the UImpact Publishing Group. Kimberly is also a best-selling author, philanthropist, podcast host, and mother.
In this episode, she and I talk about the steps she took to launch a magazine in the middle of the pandemic. We also talk about her mission to inject personality and authenticity into the brands she works with, as she shares that so many women are putting on “masks” every day when they show up to work.
Listen in to learn what a brand really is, why you need one, and which warning signs to look out for if your brand is in decline.

Have you heard of Enneagram? I had not until recently and today’s guest, Courtney Feider, is here to talk about how key this is for entrepreneurs and leaders. Courtney is an executive coach and the co-founder of Wild Enneagram Love and its WEL Method. In this episode, she shares the theory and assessment of enneagrams and how they can work for individuals and even couples. She also opens up about her big turning point when an unfortunate carjacking led her to a career in coaching.
I found today’s guest, Sandra Sucher, through a book recommendation in the Wall Street Journal. A professor at Harvard Business School, Sandra has a fantastic story about how she became the co-author of her new book, The Power of Trust. In this episode, she opens up about how a trip to Japan to write one book on layoffs led her to write another very different sort of book. She and I talk about the hidden value of trust in a business and why it can’t be used as a reputation management tool. She also discusses why trust matters so much more in service-based businesses and why the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain is a great role model for businesses that are building trust with their clientele.
Early on in her career, Michelle Seiler Tucker, took the Corporate America approach to her career recruited by a Fortune 500 company, and still felt like she couldn’t get anything accomplished due to the slow moving culture. She decided it was time for a change. Today, with 20 years experience in mergers and acquisitions, she is an expert at buying, selling, growing, and fixing businesses and is the Founder & CEO of Seiler Tucker Incorporated.
