My mom and the Michigan State Fair is a memory baked into my heart, and it's one of the moments that transformed pie from a mere dessert into a slice of my personal brand.  On Pi Day, join me as I recount the journey from baking with love to branding with purpose, and how pie isn't just a sweet treat but a cornerstone of my professional identity.  We'll explore the creation of #socialmediapie and the evolution that led to my LinkedIn strategy book, "Social Media Pie: How to Enjoy a Bigger Slice of LinkedIn," infusing the essence of pie into every my business, and gain inspiration for YOUR business through the process.  As we celebrate the delicious dualities of pie and branding, we'll also shine a spotlight on the clever marketing collaborations that Pi Day stirs up in the Metro Detroit area. A slice of pie at Achatz bakery and a complementary coffee from Biggby Coffee aren't just treats for your palate but a masterclass in synergistic promotions.  This episode is a fusion of nostalgia, strategy, and entrepreneurial spirit that's sure to inspire – whether you're a pie aficionado, a branding enthusiast, or just in search of a sweet slice of inspiration. *************************Thinking of Making the Shift from Employee to Self-Employed?
