Today’s guest is Rebeca Hazelnut, a personal brand guide and business mentor, specialized in brand identity and strategy. She has a really unique background as an Arctic guide, so we talked about the transition into personal branding work, and how she eventually started using the power of storytelling to make her business stand out.

Rebeca, like me, is a Spanish speaker, but we recorded this conversation in English. Aside from Spanish and English, Rebeca also speaks French, Russian and Norwegian. She has learned new languages as a way to connect with fascinating cultures and people. This was useful in her life as an Arctic guide and now as a brand strategist working with people globally.

In this episode, we cover:

How Rebeca's career shift became the cornerstone of her personal brand, proving that every story has value, even the ones that seem unrelated to your current path.
Rebeca lets us in on her initial hesitations to share about her background because she was worried that it had nothing to do with her current work. But embracing her full story ultimately strengthened her brand.
We also talk about the power of transparency in business, from sharing financial realities to building a brand that's both authentic and memorable.

Rebeca's journey is an inspiration to anyone looking to weave their own story into their brand narrative. Tune in to explore how storytelling can impact your business and resonate deeply with your audience.
