Authentic Personal Branding & the Power of Being Seen with Michael R. Hunter | 187


What if the thing you're most afraid to share is the exact thing that makes your brand unforgettable?

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Michael R. Hunter, branding visionary, unpack what it really means to build a personal brand in a world flooded with surface-level content—and why the deepest power lies in showing up as your whole self.

Together, they dive deep into the intersection of brand, business, and being—and why authenticity is not a marketing tactic, but a foundation for long-term success.

You'll learn:

  • Why your brand is what others say about you—and how to shape that perception with integrity

  • The three-legged stool of brand, business, and being (and why all three must align)

  • Why trying to scale too early can actually hurt your brand

  • The hidden costs of trying to be everything to everyone

  • How to step into the most authentic version of your brand without burning out

  • The future of AI and human connection—and how community, experience, and in-person authenticity are becoming more valuable than ever
