Missions to Movements

How To Activate the Thought Leader Within You with Joey Womack from Goodie Nation

Dana Snyder Episode 56

Joey Womack has done an exceptional job developing his personal brand, in addition to founding Goodie Nation, a nonprofit agency that celebrates diverse founders and social entrepreneurs.

He’s been featured on Techstars, has been an instructor with General Assembly, plus he has over 13,000 followers on LinkedIn, and 57,000 followers on Instagram!

We’re diving into all things thought leadership today: why Joey is tactical about contributing content on LinkedIn and why we need to “get over ourselves” when it comes to sharing our voice in a bigger way with the world. As a founder, you have a responsibility to be a leader and to build a strong brand.

In This Episode:

  • 3 core responsibilities of a CEO and why it’s worth investing in your brand in order to best execute your vision.
  • How Joey forced himself to simplify when it comes to delivering amazing presentations on stage.
  • Why founders should be great storytellers in order to stand out.
  • Personal branding and thought leadership evolves over time. Joey explains why it’s essential to be thinking about what the next 10 years from now will look like.
  • The secret to unlocking MAJOR visibility on LinkedIn without having to write your own posts.
