In this episode, I sit down with Erica Rankin to talk about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, personal branding, and the power of embracing failure. Erica shares her journey from working a traditional job to launching Brodo, a protein-packed cookie dough brand that took off on social media—only to face the harsh realities of business challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic, and ultimately, bankruptcy.

But her story didn’t end there. Erica opens up about how this experience became a catalyst for self-discovery, leading her to a new path as a content creator and podcast host. We dive into the lessons she’s learned about resilience, the importance of authenticity in personal branding, and how she’s redefining success on her own terms. If you've ever faced setbacks in business (or life), this conversation is for you!
