Some brand journeys are worth taking a look at to see what we can take away from them to build our own brands. And no one is a better example of that than this week’s guest, Michael Stelzner.

He is the reason that many people have gotten into social media marketing as he is the ring leader behind all of the education that Social Media Examiner brings! However, his personal brand started well before he stepped into the social media industry.

In today’s episode, Mike is going to walk us through the development of his brand journey from being the white paper guy to the social media guy and into his newest mission. So many great lessons to be learned!
