Valuable & Inspiring!

Rory and AJ Vaden consistently deliver valuable and inspiring wisdom in their Influential Personal Brand podcast. They are a pleasure to listen to. They sift essential strategies out of a sea of possibilities and distill the steps of those strategies into simple success maps. They are adept at also pulling wisdom from their podcast guests and eloquently distilling it into clear principles.

So informative & easy to digest

Thank you for making your content easy to digest. The clear and concise direction you give for example with the Three E’s and the Content Diamond to name a couple is amazing. You’re doing Kingdom work and it shows. I love learning from you.

Quotes from the show

I LOVE this podcast!! Two of the best quotes I've heard, ever: "I am better positioned to serve the person I once was." That was Rory quoting Larry (?) someone. The other one was recently from Melanie Ann Layer, "You're going to wonder how to do it until you wonder how you did it." I mean...GOLD. Thank you Rory, A.J. and team at BBG!
Mr. Purpose

The Podcast I Can’t Put Down

I have learned more from listening to 3 episodes of this podcast than any other podcast I follow…. And I follow some great ones! But the nuggets of information I receive in THIS one speak my language and have inspired me in a way that has brought clarity to what I do and why I do it. This clarity is helping me grow personally and professionally. That’s what I was looking for in a multitude of other podcasts. I’m happy to say that I finally found what I was looking for... and I found it HERE!

Solid Podcast

I really enjoy listening to this podcast as someone who's consistently growing their personal brand. I’m also an author and speaker so I like that the information shared is relevant and informative for me. I found out about the podcast through The Influential Personal Brand Summit. I’m very grateful I came across the summit recap on my targeted ads (shout-out to Instagram lol). Overall, I 100% recommend this podcast.

“Fall in love with the process” is my new mantra

Your podcast with Allison Trowbridge on the Golden Age of Publishing was one of the most inspiring podcasts I’ve heard. It made me reflect on other areas of life, and now wanting to inherit “falling in love with the process” as a mantra for those areas. Thank you for such a thought provoking and inspiring podcast!

My New Favorite Podcast

I found Rory through an Amy Porterfield podcast and immediately purchased his book, “Take The Stairs”. The latest podcast, #436, about using AI for copywriting was the most informative discussion I’ve heard. And I’m a professional copywriter. Can’t wait to re-listen to this episode while taking notes. There’s so much gold in it. Great interview, A.J. You asked some intelligent, relevant questions. And your guest, Kyle Stout, knows his stuff. He gave me so many great ideas for using AI in my copy. You know I’ll be checking out his material! Great job!

A must-listen for anyone building their personal brand!

With fantastic guests and insightful discussions, I’m always getting great lessons on how to grow my personal brand. But what I love the most are the weekly recap/behind-the-scenes episodes where Rory and AJ dig in and give their explanation and perspective on the most noteworthy interview moments. Looking forward to hearing more!

So insightful and inspiring!

Absolutely fantastic guests and discussions! But the thing I want to highlight is how much I appreciate the recap episodes. What’s a great way to revisit the highlights of an interview or give a sneak peek for someone who’s on the fence about listening to a loner episode!
CountryRefuge

Great Guests!

They say you’re the sum of the people you hang out with the most, and these top leaders have incredible insights to share. Listening to the best in the entrepreneurial world on a regular basis definitely raises the bar on excellency! I am intrigued with the Brand Builder concept and approach.

Scaling your brand!

Listened to the podcast with Andy Bailey on scaling your coaching business, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I’m in the beginning stages of determining what my personal brand might be, and I feel like I’m well on my way to forming solid strategies for building a brand well.

Master interviewer!

I just listened to the Patty Aubery interview about SELLING LOTS OF BOOKS! It was epic. First, Rory did an amazing job of drawing good stories out of Her. And second, that Patie and Jack creatively put together marketing and licensing deals was very inspiring. It’s absolutely got me thinking creatively about what I do and how I can spread my message!
Kolson21

Essential, listening for new authors

I highly recommend this podcast for anyone that is currently writing a book and looking to land a publishing deal. The wisdom, that Nena, AJ, and Rory discuss on this episode is priceless. Applying these tips will improve your publishing process immensely. Fantastic episode. Karla Olson
