Personal branding expert and story teller Ben Baker was on What’s Your Excuse?

Hello again; This week on The What's Your Excuse? Show I'm happy to bring you an interview with Ben Baker from Your Brand Marketing. We had a great conversation. Mainly because we are both such big proponents of the value and power of story telling. In his case he is teaching business owners and managers how to recruit, attract, train, retain, and promote a talented effective staff by making everyone understand what the company's story is all about. I asked him if this was like when successful sports teams talk about how the players have bought into the philosophy of their coaches. And he said that was a good place to start from. Another reason why I loved this talk is because we met through my good friend The Happiness Ambassador https://www.neatoshop.com">The Neato Shop. They offer quality shirts at a good price. Both to your customers and at wholesale to you for events. The submission process is very simple, and they offer free sample prints to make sure your art work shows up just like you thought it would. And without his support of the podcast I wouldn't have had shirts to sell at my last two live events. Now on to the show About Ben Storytelling has always been a way of life for Ben. From a young age, he realized that through telling stories, people listened to him, understood him and engaged. Professionally, this is what he has been doing now for over two decades. He helps brands tell engaging stories that compel their customers to take action. His mission is to have brands “STOP being a commodity. . . instead, be a brand worth loving!” Connect With Ben Website: https://www.yourbrandmarketing.com Speaker’s Website: https://www.BenBakerSpeaks.com Podcast: https://www.YourLIVINGBrand.live Book: https://www.powerfulpersonalbrands.com Online course (code: FriendsofBen50 gets you $50 off registration) https://courses.yourbrandmarketing.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourbrandmarketing Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/yourbrandmrktng Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourbrandmarketing I really appreciate having the chance to sit down and talk story telling and branding with Ben. I hope you will all find something you can take away from it. Often the trick is to take what we are watching or hearing and convert it into terms from our own life experiences to make sense of what we are learning and applying it in our lives. For me I've always done this. I usually find equivalents from my carnival life or from things my dad taught me growing up. Before I go I want to thank you for your continued support and encouragement. I appreciate your sharing my posts, visiting the sites of my guests and sponsor, and posting to social media. So until next time thanks and take care out there, Max
