Bio: Rich Bennett is a Marine Corps Veteran, Professional DJ, Entrepreneur and Professional Podcaster.

Rich started the podcast “Harford County Living” in 2015, 3 years after launching the positive news website harfordcountyliving.com. A few years later I started getting requests from people outside of Maryland to come on the show as guests and the podcast became "Harford County Living with Rich Bennett". Needless to say, more requests came in and a few people suggested that I expand the podcast and change the name again, and "Conversations with Rich Bennett" was born.

I also battled anxiety, and depression and was suicidal years ago. I have talked about it on my podcast with guests that have or are going through mental health issues, however, I never have opened up about what caused my problems because the focus is on my guests. I was able to align myself with the law of attraction which has helped me overcome my bouts with mental illness.

In this interview, Graham Brown demonstrates how we can use storytelling to build our brands and connect with others.

Graham thinks podcasting represents the conversations we no longer have with each other.

Takeaways:

• When you feel fearful or experience imposter syndrome remember that’s a sign for you to “choose yourself”. So pick you. Because you’re the one your audience is waiting to hear.
• For business, a podcast is a great way to build our brand and influence people. It’s an excellent stage to create space for your audience and customers to connect with you and each other.

• Telling your story using a podcast as your stage helps you consistently place your brand or business in front of an audience.

Finally, through this podcast, I interviewed Graham, an entrepreneur in Singapore while vacationing in Mexico.

That’s the power of podcasting! We get to meet people we normally wouldn’t.
