Why Your Company Name Isn’t Enough w/ Nathaniel Schooler

If you think your title is your brand, let’s fix that.

Too many corporate leaders hide behind their company logo. They believe their credibility comes from the organization they work for, not from the signals they send personally.

Let’s keep it real. In today’s war for talent, widening trust gap, and relentless tech disruption, that mindset is dangerous.

In this episode, I sit down with personal branding expert and podcast host Nathaniel Schooler to talk about why leaders must stop seeing themselves as “just a representative of the company” and start recognizing that they are a brand — whether they like it or not.

We break down what a personal brand actually is (hint: it’s not a logo), why AI won’t save you from being invisible, and how leaders who ignore their external presence risk getting passed over, replaced, or forgotten.

If you want to get picked, paid, and promoted — and become an asset your company can’t afford to lose — this conversation is your wake-up call.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why seeing yourself only as your job title is costing you influence

• The real definition of personal brand (and why most leaders get it wrong)

• The foundational document every leader needs before building visibility

• How LinkedIn, external presence, and thought leadership protect your career
