Episode Synopsis

Today I speak to one of the most inspirational 26 year olds I have ever met!Lewis Alexander Baxter is the COO of Kurogo, a personal branding agency, and we discuss the importance of building a personal brand no matter whether you're an entrepreneur, or an employee.Lewis also opens up about his experiences with grief and mental health after losing his mother, emphasising the need for open conversations around these topics. He's super passionate about getting more young people in charities having started one when he was 18.He also shares insights from his TEDx talk (which he had to prepare for in 10 days) and why he encourages others to embrace their emotions while navigating their personal journeys.We also touched on his future aspirations and new ventures in the functional drinks space with FUNC (watch this space).This is a really open honest conversation and I am so grateful to Lewis for sharing so candidly.As always, thanks for tuning in and let me know what you thought of this episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠ or in the comments below!Also, check out the ever growing ⁠Unfounders Song Selection ⁠playlist on Spotify.... it's WILD.Ps - Have you got a guest you'd love to hear from?
