Your personal brand is often built in quiet moments — the late-night writing session, the client call that turns into a story, the risks you take when no one’s watching. But when it’s done with purpose, that same brand can become your most powerful growth engine.

On October 28 at 1 PM ET, Authority Magazine founder Yitzi Weiner will sit down with Beth LaGuardia Cooper, Chief Marketing Officer at Advantage Media, for a one-hour virtual fireside chat: “Strategies for Making Your Personal Brand Your #1 Growth Asset.”

The conversation will pull back the curtain on how today’s leaders use publishing, media, and storytelling to shape credibility and influence. Expect real case studies, a few industry secrets, and clear steps for turning your expertise into visibility that lasts.

What You’ll Learn

  • Publishing as a Platform — Why books, articles, and interviews remain one of the fastest ways to establish authority.
