Our Story & Founding Vision
Personal Branding Blog was originally founded by Dan Schawbel, a recognized authority on personal branding and bestselling author. Driven by his passion to help individuals stand out in an ever-evolving digital world, Dan launched the site to share insights on how anyone can leverage authenticity, self-knowledge, and strategic actions to shape a meaningful personal brand.
Over the years, Personal Branding Blog grew from a single-author blog into a leading resource for individuals, entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking to develop a strong, distinctive reputation both online and off.
