Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I sit down with Alaina Shearer, branding expert, storyteller, and founder of Good Is Now, for a conversation about voice, courage, and what it means to take a stand in your work. Alaina shares how storytelling has shaped her life from an early age, from writing and public speaking as a child to building movements as an entrepreneur and even running for Congress.
We talk about the connection between storytelling and personal power, why so many people stay quiet even when something matters deeply to them, and how taking a stand can actually strengthen your brand rather than hurt it. Alaina also shares what she’s learned from reinvention, entrepreneurship, and helping others tell stories that create connection and change.
Topics Discussed in This Episode
- Storytelling and early experiences with speaking
- Running for Congress and building a public voice
- Taking a stand in your business
- Fear, trolls, and being seen online
- Reinvention, branding, and betting on yourself
