In this episode, we flip the script and take you behind the brand of our very own Caz Grant. As someone who runs multiple businesses under one personal brand, Caz shares how she’s made it all work, in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and true to who she is. She opens up about what it really looks like to juggle different roles without losing your sense of self or overwhelming your audience.

Caz walks us through her day-to-day rhythms, including how she uses time blocking to keep each business clearly segmented, and why physical movement, like walking her dog or hitting the gym, helps her mentally reset between tasks. She also shares how having specific workspaces (and even different “uniforms”) for each part of her work helps her show up with clarity and focus. Plus, she lets us in on her favourite weekly ritual: one non-negotiable night off the screen to completely switch off.

For anyone craving a more multipassionate life, Caz offers powerful reminders about the importance of values, boundaries, and self-awareness. She believes your personal brand can carry more than one role - as long as it’s built on strong foundations and designed in a way that supports your energy. This one’s packed with honest reflections and real-life strategies to help you shape a personal brand that feels like home, no matter how many hats you wear.

Season 3 kicks off with a twist - Toby’s in the hot seat! In this episode, we dive deep into his personal branding journey, fresh off a powerful rebrand with Matt and Eleanor from Number 75 Design and a brand shoot with Nicholas Dawkes Photography. From the guy who’s usually behind the camera, Toby opens up about what it felt like to step into the spotlight and truly be seen, not just visually, but emotionally and professionally.

We unpack everything from the nerves of showing up more online to the power of storytelling in building a brand that connects. Toby shares how his photography work has always been about helping others feel seen, and now, how he’s applying those same principles to his own personal brand. It’s a real, honest look at visibility, imposter syndrome, and why building trust matters more than chasing perfection.

Whether you’re camera-shy or just figuring out how to show up more fully in your business, this one’s packed with takeaways on using branding, storytelling, and photography as tools for connection. Think of it as your behind-the-scenes pass into Toby’s world, and a reminder that your face, your story, and your energy are your brand.

Welcome to Brand You, the Ultimate Personal Branding Podcast.

In last week’s episode, we unpacked the art of subtle selling, how to turn followers into customers without feeling salesy or inauthentic. This week, we’re turning the spotlight on the quieter side of personal branding. If the idea of “being visible” makes you want to hide under a blanket, this one’s for you. We’re talking all things personal branding for introverts, how to build a presence that feels true, calm, and powerful, without having to be the loudest person online.

From redefining what it really means to stand out, to choosing content formats that suit your energy, we explore how introverts can create brands rooted in depth, clarity, and quiet confidence. We share practical tips for setting boundaries, choosing the right platforms, and creating trust through thoughtful storytelling. Because here’s the truth: being visible doesn't mean being “on” 24/7. It means showing up in a way that feels sustainable and real.

You’ll also hear why your soft voice matters, how calming can be a strategy, and why slow burn growth often leads to the most aligned success. Whether you’re a full on introvert or just crave a more intentional approach to your brand, this episode will remind you: you don’t need to shout to be heard, you just need to speak in a way that’s true to you.

After walking you through how to grow a loyal online audience in last week’s episode, Caz and Toby are back to tackle the next big question: how do you actually convert those followers into paying clients, without feeling cringe, salesy, or out of alignment? In this episode, they're diving into the art of subtle selling and why it’s become such a powerful tool for personal brands in 2025 and beyond.

They break down what subtle selling actually looks like (hint: it’s more human connection, less “limited time offer”), and how to blend sales into your content in a way that feels natural, honest, and valuable. From storytelling over sales pitches, to showing real-life transformations and using casual call-to-actions that invite, not pressure. This episode is full of tangible tips for making your content do the selling for you. Plus, they explore why positioning yourself as the guide (not the hero) builds more trust and more conversions.

You’ll also learn how to use your content to pre-qualify buyers, how to talk about your offers with pride, and how to keep showing up with value while still making it super clear that people can work with you. The episode wraps up with a simple action step you can take right away: start building a bank of soft CTAs you can drop into your posts when the time’s right or to strike up a conversation. This one’s a must-listen if you’re ready to turn your online presence into a sales tool that still feels true to you.

You don’t need everyone on the internet to follow you, you just need the right people to stick around. In this episode, Caz and Toby unpack what it really takes to grow a loyal, engaged audience that actually cares about what you do.

First, we’ll cover the foundations of monetising your personal brand - why it’s crucial to have a strong, consistent brand before focusing on income, and how to identify your niche, audience, and unique value proposition to attract the right opportunities.

Next, we’ll explore multiple streams of income you can build through personal branding, including:

Then, we’ll talk about leveraging social media and digital platforms to generate revenue. You’ll learn how to use platforms like Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube to grow your audience and drive conversions, while maintaining engagement and avoiding a sales-heavy approach.

We’ll also break down how to build and sell a personal brand ecosystem - turning your expertise into scalable offerings like workshops, speaking engagements, and subscription models. Finally, we’ll tackle common challenges - like the fear of feeling “too salesy” or losing authenticity when introducing paid offerings.

Welcome to Brand You, the Ultimate Personal Branding Podcast.

In this episode of the Brand You Podcast, we’re diving into how to move beyond personal branding and create a purpose-driven impact in 2025. Personal branding isn’t just about showcasing expertise anymore - it’s about using your influence to drive real, meaningful change. But how do you align your brand with a larger mission? And how can you build a community-driven movement that resonates with your audience?

First, we’ll discuss the shift from personal branding to purpose-driven leadership - how individuals evolve from simply building their brand to leading with impact. We’ll explore how having a clear mission behind your brand amplifies influence and credibility in a crowded digital space.

Next, we’ll dive into how to align your personal brand with a meaningful mission. Whether you’re passionate about sustainability, mental health, or education, we’ll cover how to choose a cause that feels authentic, integrate it into your messaging, and connect with audiences who share your values.

Then, we’ll talk about the power of community in turning your personal brand into a movement. You’ll learn how to engage your audience, foster a sense of belonging, and empower others to champion your mission. Plus, we’ll break down real-life examples of individuals who have successfully built movements from their personal brands, such as Greta Thunberg - and the lessons we can apply from her journey.

Finally, we’ll look at why 2025 is the perfect time to focus on impact-driven branding. With more people craving genuine connection and values-led leadership, this is your opportunity to stand out, make a difference, and build something bigger than yourself. Your action step this week? Take a moment to reflect on what truly drives you. Identify one cause, value, or mission that aligns with your personal brand, and brainstorm one small but impactful way to incorporate it into your content or business - whether through a social media post, collaboration, or a new project idea.
