Hi! I'm Rachel, the Brand Boss.
I'm an inspirational and instructional communicator, and my passion is empowering you to OWN your difference and ROCK your brand like a Boss.
As a business owner myself, I’m especially passionate about empowering Businesses and Business Owners with simple, effective Marketing strategies and easy-to-implement solutions. With 22+ years in public communications, I bust myths and boxes, and put tools in your hands you can use right now...and see results.
I’ve lived firsthand the power of having the courage to OWN your difference and show up authentically for the people you serve.
You see, I believe that the purpose of Business is to solve problems and take care of real people...not mere “avatars.”
I've also lived most of my life believing that I had to hustle and grind my way to earn any sliver of success.
💡 Until I discovered working from rest...and tapped into greater success and fulfillment than I'd ever known.
If any of what you’ve just read resonates, then this is for you. This...is The Brand Boss Show. 🎙️
🎧 New episodes every Tuesday. Ready for you to listen on the go, during your workout, morning commute, or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
Purpose and Profit. For so many of us, those two things may have seemed like opposite ends of the spectrum... But are they?
What does it mean to truly live in alignment with your mission?
And how do you know what your "mission" is?
From growing up in Egypt to coaching speakers for the TedX stage, this week's guest Jessica Sato shares her powerful journey of learning, and living, this out.
In this episode, we dive deep into her story, the concept of living on mission through business, and how our "missions" mature over time.
Listen in!
Have you ever been in a conversation and thought, "more people need to hear this?!"
Well, that's exactly what happened when my friend and fellow marketer Ben Albert were catching up recently. So we hit record!
Listen in as we get raw and real about scrapping "shoulds," refusing to bow to scarcity, living in alignment, and what we see coming for business owners in 2023 - no matter what the "economy" says. In my opinion, this episode is a must listen for every business owner.
P.S. Spicy Rachel comes out. ;-)
Enjoy!

For me to interview this week's podcast guest is quite literally a dream come true.
For over 30 years Bob Burg has been successfully showing entrepreneurs, leaders, and sales professionals how to communicate their value and accelerate their business growth.
Although for years he was best known for his sales classic, Endless Referrals, it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver, coauthored with John David Mann that has created a worldwide movement.
While part of a four-book series, The Go-Giver itself has sold more than one million copies and been translated into 30 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc. Magazine’s list of The Most Motivational Books Ever Written, and was on HubSpot’s 20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time.
It was also the first book my business mentor gave me very early on in my entreprenurial journey that has shaped how I do business ever since.
Listen in as Bob and I discuss the Law of Authenticity, what it really means, and the impact it can have on your business.

Have you ever known you were supposed to start something? Launch that product, that business...that new platform? And yet you hesitate. Why? What is it that is holding you back?
