SUMMARY
Today we're discussing the crucial journey of standing out in the market. The focus is on self-discovery, aligning personal values with your business, and understanding your customers' unique needs.

In the previous episode I provided a free PDF for self-discovery prompts, emphasising the holistic approach needed in creative industries.

The episode concludes with a case study highlighting the prevalence of similar advertisements and a call to action for listeners to reflect on their brand identity.
