The Personal Brand You Carry: Legacy, Leadership, and Letters with Walter Pryor

Épisode 112

mardi 3 février 2026Durée 47:53

Think about the lessons that shaped you early, the voices that influenced how you see the world, and what it would mean to have those reflections preserved over time.

Walter Pryor brings warmth, humor, and thoughtful vulnerability to every interaction. A public service leader, corporate executive, community advocate, and author of This Leaves Me Okay, his career reflects not just professional milestones, but a lineage shaped by nearly 30 years of handwritten letters from his grandmother, Mama Ceal, written with care, consistency, and intention.

In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula sits down with Walter to explore resilience, legacy, and the role personal relationships play in building a grounded, accessible personal brand. Along the way, the conversation surfaces lessons on leadership, parenting, partnership, and what it means to honor those who came before us while being intentional about what we leave behind. This episode is both a reflection on authenticity, mission, courage, and connection, and an invitation to consider how your past quietly shapes how you lead and show up for others today.

1:12 – How Walter defines personal brand, how he’d describe himself, his chosen quotes that offer grounding and guidance, and the song that makes him move

6:04 – How small-town Arkansas shaped Walter’s worldview and gave him both humility and ambition

9:09 – A pivotal family loss that redirected Walter’s educational path 

10:52 – The non-linear evolution from Biglaw to government, Capitol Hill, and corporate leadership

14:44 – How Southern Bancorp’s mission felt like a full-circle homecoming that ties into Walter’s brand

17:10 – How personal relationships can influence your leadership 

20:54 – What parenting young adults teaches you about mentoring as a leader

23:34 – The spark that led to Walter’s memoir (and the decades of handwritten letters at its heart)

27:14 – Lessons about connection, influence, and resiliency from Mama Ceal’s letters

32:27 – How Mama Ceal’s life reflects a broader civil rights narrative and why telling that story now is urgent

35:21 – The importance and responsibility of being a custodian and guardian of family history

36:16 – Walter’s vision of the legacy he wants to provide to any future grandchildren

38:24 – Walter’s joy, the grounding trait he refuses to compromise, and the quality that fills a room when he fully shows up

Your Face Is Part of Your Personal Brand: Why Makeup and Skincare Matter with Osha Hinds

Épisode 111

mardi 27 janvier 2026Durée 01:04:25

Your face is part of your personal brand whether you acknowledge it or not. People experience you visually before you say a word. Some dismiss makeup and skincare as vanity or assume it has nothing to do with their work. Others do it themselves without realizing how small missteps can distract from the impression they want to make. Either way, an important part of your brand is being left to chance.

Osha Hinds has spent over a decade helping people show up with intention. She works with everyone from corporate professionals to brides and understands that makeup isn’t about transformation for its own sake. It’s about being deliberate with your image. That mindset, and the trust it requires, is what her career is built on. Her journey from aspiring fashion designer to landing at MAC Cosmetics after ten interviews taught her what it takes to build credibility when your work is immediately visible.

In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula and Osha break down why image matters for your brand, the common mistakes people make when doing their own makeup, and how to look prepared in five minutes before a video call. They also explore what it means to be trusted with someone’s image, and why that principle extends beyond makeup into how you build a personal brand worth remembering.

1:07 – Personal brand definition for Osha, three words that sum her up, the MLK Jr. quote she always references, and her go-to soca song

4:23 – Osha’s unexpected path from fashion design to makeup artistry

10:22 – The pivotal “fake it till you make it” moment that changed Osha’s career and confidence

17:09 – How personal image communicates brand credibility before you ever speak

20:39 – How makeup can empower you and why wearing it benefits you (even if you don’t think it’s necessary)

25:25 – Biggest beauty mistakes people make and what they reveal about perception

29:33 – Makeup prep recommendations for men and women (on and off-camera)

36:04 – The misconception and truth about red lipstick

39:30 – Basics that every professional and non-professional should have in their makeup toolkit

46:35 – Quick makeup routine when you only have five minutes to get ready for a Zoom meeting

48:50 – The four makeup items Osha and Paula would use for themselves in case of an emergency

50:29 – How Osha helps those who struggle with their confidence and self-image

52:51 – Spa days and 4DX movie theaters, a nasty truth about some water rides, and one of Paula’s favorite Osha stories

56:40 – The importance of being a good client and partner for your makeup artist

59:50 – Why trust is vital to Osha’s brand, the importance of communication, and how she does eyebrows differently

Self-Gratitude: The Personal Brand Strategy That Starts With You

Épisode 105

mardi 25 novembre 2025Durée 11:01

As the year winds down, most of us focus on thanking the people around us—mentors, colleagues, friends, and communities. What often gets left out is acknowledging ourselves. And when it comes to personal branding, that omission matters.

In this episode of Branding Room Only, I break down why recognizing your own growth, resilience, and impact is one of the most strategic things you can do for your brand. I share the milestones and challenges that defined my year, the quieter wins that never make social media, and the mindset shifts that helped me stay grounded while building momentum.

You’ll also get the reflection questions I use with myself and my clients, plus a reminder about a simple tool that captures the evidence of your evolution so you can quiet your inner critic and step into the next year with clarity.

Self-gratitude isn’t ego. It’s truth. It’s how you honor the fact that you kept going, even when things were hard, and how you understand the story your brand is actually telling. Take a moment, pause, breathe, and give yourself credit for the work you’ve done and the progress you’ve earned.

1:15 – How self-gratitude strengthens your personal brand

2:19 – Reflection on my year and the quieter wins that shaped my growth and resilience

4:59 – Questions to uncover your overlooked moments of pride and progress

5:56 – Reminder of a practical tool to gather the evidence of your evolution

8:00 – Gratitude as a strategic foundation for clarity in goal-setting for the year ahead

How Parenthood Shifts Your Personal Brand in the Workplace with Lori Mihalich-Levin

Épisode 28

mardi 5 mars 2024Durée 52:52

Having a child impacts you not just personally but professionally.

As an expecting or new parent, you have access to plenty of information about planning for and taking care of your child. And you’ve probably heard that you’re not the same person after their arrival. But there’s still something that gets left out of the conversation too often.

After having two sons, Lori Mihalich-Levin knew there was a missing piece--something essential to the identity of new parents: how do you shift from child-free employee to working parent? Now, she helps moms and dads (and their employers) transition back to work after parental leave.

In this episode of the Branding Room Only podcast, you’ll learn how your brand and identity shift as a parent and how to mindfully return to the workforce as a new, working parent. You’ll hear about learning leadership skills through parenting, pushing through postpartum anxiety and depression, the difference in expectations before and after parenthood, the effect of paternity leave on not just the family but others in the organization, and much more!

1:58 - How Lori defines personal branding, her three-word description for herself, and her favorite Teddy Roosevelt quote and Rent hype song

4:48 - Lori’s career path and how she discovered a gap in the marketplace for working parents

7:45 - How Lori works with employers through Mindful Return to support employees coming back from parental leave

10:03 - How becoming a parent can change you and help you develop leadership skills

15:38 - Why the U.S. system fails new parents and some signs of postpartum anxiety or depression

20:34 - Two rules to remember when you become a new parent to help you push through the tough times

24:30 - Why your return from parental leave needs to be mindful and how to have small but meaningful interventions in your day

28:51 - How to give voice to who you are now after the change you’ve undergone with parenthood

31:11 - How to navigate expectations from before and after parenthood

36:49 - An example of how parenthood can be an elevating strategy in your career

38:34 - Ways to navigate self-judgment and guilt around being absent for some things as a working parent

43:45 - Why it’s so essential for even the non-birthing parents (especially men) to take the parental leave on offer

47:49 - Lori’s fun factor, the vitality of community and connection in her program, and two things that make her stand out

How Michelle Ifill Built Success As a Lawyer, Executive Coach, & Resort CEO

Épisode 26

mardi 20 février 2024Durée 46:38

Are you dissatisfied, ready to move on, or to pivot in your career?

Perhaps you have a dream career or business in mind or don’t really know what you want to do. You just want to make a change, and as smoothly as possible. And while a strong personal brand helps make that transition more seamless, building one doesn’t just start when you decide to pivot.

Michelle Ifill made the kind of career pivot that others dream of. But she’s also always been very aware and consistent with prioritizing empowerment as a part of her personal brand, and that has stuck with her--from her former legal career to her current coaching business, and La Maison Michelle resort in Barbados. So I had to have her on to talk about how empowering others needs to be a central piece of how you operate, no matter what you do.

In this episode of the Branding Room Only podcast, you’ll learn the secrets to successful brand building as you move up (or on) from a position, company, or career. You’ll hear about the importance of self-awareness, using previous know-how and experience, being vulnerable, and building up others as you build your brand.

1:17 - Michelle’s traditional perspective on personal branding, how she describes herself, and her mantra for 2024

4:24 - Michelle’s story and the importance of self-awareness about your brand as you move up and build your reputation

12:44 - Why it’s important to consider your brand when you’re working in-house and different aspects of your personal brand to think about

16:07 - Why Michelle’s transition from General Counsel to executive coach was so seamless and the legacy she’s most proud of

23:25 - How La Maison Michelle benefits from all of her prior knowledge and experience

28:30 - The types of retreats you can expect as a guest at Michelle’s resort

30:53 - The increasing awareness of the mental and spiritual health of employees and how you can tie it to your branding

34:44 - One thing most lawyers do that you want to avoid so you don’t hurt your brand and network

37:44 - How vulnerability helps when you’re building your brand

40:30 - What Michelle does for fun and how that coalesces into what she’s built at her resort

42:18 - Three aspects of her brand Michelle will always stand by and what makes her stand out in a packed room

How Etiquette Mastery Helps Supercharge Your Personal Brand with Crystal Bailey

Épisode 25

mardi 13 février 2024Durée 45:25

Have you ever felt like a deer in the headlights at a fancy dinner?

You look down at your table setting and don’t even know where to begin when you see a dozen or so forks, knives, and spoons! So you look around to see if you can follow along with someone who knows the correct way to proceed.

While it might not look like it on the surface, there’s a parallel between table etiquette and your personal brand. When you’re networking, you want to follow certain protocols so that you look like you know what you’re doing and make the best impression possible.

My friend of over 10 years, Crystal Bailey, is an etiquette expert and image consultant who puts the “pro” in protocol. She works with a wide-ranging clientèle of executives, professionals, and diplomats in-person and virtually. And I’ve invited her to the show to discuss best etiquette practices for any fine dining or networking event.

In this episode of the Branding Room Only podcast, you’ll learn about how mastering etiquette can impact your brand. You’ll discover etiquette mistakes to avoid, how to best respond when someone breaches protocol, how to keep your brand consistent, and more!

1:45 - Crystal defines personal branding, describes herself in three words, and reveals her favorite quote and hype song

6:06 - The duality of Crystal’s life and how she became an etiquette expert

11:43 - Communication mistakes people frequently make in the etiquette space and a major shift in etiquette practice post-pandemic

13:49 - The proper way to use your eating utensils and napkin at the fine dining table

16:40 - How to approach food and drink consumption and handshaking while you network

20:49 - How teaching etiquette to kids differs from teaching it to adults

22:40 - How Crystal approaches cultural differences in how people eat and act during her in-home lessons

24:32 - When ignoring social mores can become a dealbreaker and the best way to let someone know they’ve broken etiquette protocol

29:40 - How Crystal pivoted during the pandemic, the biggest mistake she sees people make when networking, and how to remain consistent with your brand

35:46 - Why Crystal gets such joy out of being a solo traveler and how it helps her business

38:43 - The one brand aspect Crystal will never compromise on and how joy plays into her Branding Room Only magic

Using Branding to Empower Women of Color for Success in the Workplace with Minda Harts

Épisode 24

mardi 6 février 2024Durée 46:27

Your voice is a significant part of your brand. But what is the impact of not having a voice in the workplace?

Many Black and Brown women feel unheard and undervalued at work. Their stories of experiencing unfriendly, biased, and/or disadvantageous environments are often ignored or discredited.

As someone who was never the most boisterous in the room, Minda Harts used to feel like she lacked a voice. Her profound brand has continued to grow and evolve as a workplace and equity consultant, bestselling author, and speaker.  

Now, through her books and consultations, she’s helping Black and Brown women figure out how to empower themselves for success in the workplace. And she’s on the show to talk about the experiences of women of color at work and what can be done about it.

In this episode of the Branding Room Only podcast, you’ll learn about how Minda built her brand to showcase the workplace traumas experienced by women of color and help facilitate the healing process. You’ll also hear about what it means to be an ally and a better leader, the need for authenticity in your branding and work environment, the importance of building more equity in inequitable spaces, and how it all leads to the elevation and evolution of brands (both personally and professionally).

1:39 - Part of Minda’s personal brand, her three-word description for herself and Beyonce, and what might be at the root of slander against Beyonce 

5:04 - How Minda realized she had a voice and a brand 

7:32 - How the disconnect with the brand of Black women in the workplace ties into Minda’s brand and her first book, The Memo

13:22 - The Audre Lorde quote that’s Minda’s go-to mantra, why her second book Right Within made me cry, and why it was hard for her to write it

19:20 - How Beyonce and Drake pick up and energize Minda and the space that women of color have to enter to know that they’re enough

22:09 - The journey Minda took to build her brand and the necessity to elevate and evolve your brand over time

26:34 - How those who want to advance equity can use their understanding of women of color to be better leaders with better brands

30:18 - The branding mistake everybody made after George Floyd’s murder and why identity doesn’t equal having expertise

34:58 - The audacious expectation that Black and Brown women speakers (especially those early in their careers) must be careful of

39:14 - Why working with a brand consultant was the best thing Minda did when she started (despite having fewer resources at the time)

41:54 - What Minda does for fun that not many people know about, the core value she’ll never compromise on, and the secret sauce to her magic with others

mardi 30 janvier 2024Durée 54:20

“I’ll keep in touch!” You’ve likely said something like that to someone and meant it at the time.

Going Within to Connect With Self and Expand Your Perspective with Anjli Garg

Épisode 22

mardi 23 janvier 2024Durée 47:50

Is there something missing or a little off about your life, your work, your brand, or anything else you do?

Like many who grew up as first-generation immigrants, Anjli Garg was outwardly focused on a certain level of success and got a secondary degree--in her case, from law school. But at some point, an unexpected shift in perspective brought her inward and caused her to connect with what really made her feel fulfilled and happy.

That shift now has her on a mission to empower high achievers to soar to their highest potential as leaders and human beings. She’s on the show to talk about her journey, how she works with others holistically, and help expand your understanding of service, success, and strengths as attributes and assets of your personal brand.

In this episode of the Branding Room Only podcast, you’ll hear about going within to connect to your true self and, through that, expanding your perspective on everything you do. You’ll learn about a new way to look at being of service to others, the opportunity that coaching affords everyone, defining personal success and branding that’s authentic to you, and much more!

1:15 - Anjli’s definition of personal branding and her favorite quotes, description of herself, and hype songs
