In this episode, I'm joined by Veronica Romney, marketing expert, visionary leader, and author of Identity Marketing, to explore the concept of identity—how it shapes us, drives us, and sometimes holds us back. Together, we dive into: Why trust—both with yourself and others—is the foundation of marketing, sales, and human connection What it means to "become" rather than "achieve" in today's fast-paced, distrusting world Why consumers are more skeptical than ever—and how brands can ethically build lasting trust This episode is a wake-up call to examine your identity, let go of what's no longer serving you, and step into a version of yourself (and your business!) that's aligned with your values and goals. My guest Veronica Romney is a certified master marketer, international keynote speaker, podcast host, and author with over 17 years of experience helping elite brands transform their marketing strategies. A former Speaker and Trainer for Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi, Chief of Staff at BossBabe, and Director of Marketing Suite Products for a $2B software company, she's seen the marketing industry evolve from every angle. Veronica's mission is to empower marketing teams to achieve record-breaking results while reigniting their passion for their work.
