"I think what’s more powerful is to change your view of your personal brand and really hone in on what your intentions are." - Priscilla McKinney
The conversation is full of personal and professional insight from Priscilla - going into detail about upscaling her own business, the idea of personal branding, working in market research and connecting the idea that those in market research need to market themselves if they want to become an authority in their field.
