Into The Wild 46. Building a Juicy Brand With Monique Bryan
Hey you wild women!
My next guest has a BA in fashion design, three startups under her belt (so she knows a bit about entrepreneur life), and has developed programming in partnership with companies throughout Asia and exciting global brands like PayPal, Burberry, and Toms Shoes.
Bringing over 15 years of top-level industry experience in the areas of product development, fashion, branding, business development, and personal styling today, Monique Bryan runs a brand consultancy showing business owners how to use their personal brand as a visual communication power tool. Monique shows women how to clarify their messaging, build their unique brand personality, and up-level their style profile so they can amplify their credibility in their industry.
She is a breast cancer survivor and has grown an engaged community of over 15,000+ people on social media, while in remission. She speaks on international stages and has been featured on Global television, in Entrepreneur magazine, Bustle, She Does The City, and others.

What it means to be a wild woman:"Freedom. Freedom. Unapologetic Freedom. That's exactly what that means to me. I'm just, like, untamable - do what you want, do it loud, do it for you. Everyone's watching, and do it anyways. That's what that means." - Monique Bryan
