The Power Table with Taylor Smith Similar Expertise, Different End Goals: Monetizing Your Personal Brand Your Way with Katrina Owens
What if two people could have nearly identical expertise in personal branding and visibility… but build completely different businesses from it?
In this episode of The Power Table Podcast, Taylor sits down with Katrina Owens, podcast host, speaker, and award-winning Personal Branding and Public Relations expert, to talk about the many ways entrepreneurs can monetize visibility and build authority in their industries.
While Taylor and Katrina both teach personal branding, speak on stages, and help entrepreneurs increase their visibility, this conversation explores how similar expertise doesn’t always lead to the same business model or end goals.
Together they discuss how entrepreneurs can define success on their own terms, the responsibility that comes with influence, and the role of PR, collaborations, and events in building brand authority.
Katrina shares insights from her work helping entrepreneurs become the famous face of their business through aligned PR strategies, while Taylor reflects on how visibility can be leveraged through community building, speaking, and relationship-driven opportunities.
This episode is a powerful reminder that when it comes to personal branding, there isn’t one right path—there are many ways to build influence, credibility, and impact.
