He's leveraged his mastery in PR and personal branding to start an agency called ace of spades, which helps people grow their personal brand so they can become number one in their space. Welcome, Jay.

Jay: Thank you. Welcome. Thank you. I'm excited Monday morning here in Miami. What a great way to stop the day, you know, some people, some energy, enthusiasm, some excitement, and some moves today, you know,

Marlana: love it. Well, you know, as a personal brand photographer, this topic is near and dear to my heart because I have my own ideas about why we have to create a personal brand. But tell me, why do you say that we need a personal brand?

Jay: Listen, people are buying your product, they're buying you. Period. Look at who you work with. Look, you know, I used to be a magician, right? That was my backstory for 15 years, I was a magician. And I worked with many photographers at weddings. I used to do magic shows at weddings. And for some relatability to like, I always would ask the photographer like why did they choose you? Right? There's a lot of photographers, how many photographers, you know, from the 18-year-old to the whole team, the big production team that comes in with the bells and whistles. And most of the time, it wasn't the best photo. It was they really connected with me. They liked me. They listened to me, and they trusted me. And isn't that crazy? You know, you don't need to be the best. You don't need to have the best landing page or the best website. But if people can know you, and then they can like you and trust you then like that they will choose you period.

Marlana:  And you know, I always tell people, if you are online in any way, shape, or form, you have a personal brand, either by design or by default. So, in my opinion, it should be by design. And what are your thoughts on that?

Jay: Yeah, you know, but I think the issue with that is a lot of people feel like that they don't have a message. And they don't have a story. Right? Well, I'm not like her, and I'm not like Jay. That's Jay, that's his personality, I don't want to be that person. And in in the space that I play running this agency specializing in personal branding, we find that so many people have this black and white evening Yang, like hot and cold way to look at a personal brand, right? Gone are the days where it was only for people like who were on television or gone are the days actors and celebrities or that one guy that's like selling rugs, rugs a million guys buy these rugs come on down, there's always that one guy in the city, it's like, oh, that's just as Jim, let Jim be Jim. Now, with the internet, now with how everyone is connected through this machine in front of me, this $1,500 iPhone. And now with what's going on in the world, people want to connect, people want to know, they have more options, and they want to get to know more people. So, it's like, this is the time where you can literally step into your superpower and go you know what, I have something to tell the world. You know what, and I deserve to have a part of it. And the money, the movement, and the people as well.

Marlana: So, what are some of the mistakes or...
