  • 0 min read

This week on Personal Branding TV, I interview my uncle, Bill Schawbel. Bill is the founder and CEO of The Schawbel Corporation, a business he formed in 1981 through the acquisition of two divisions from The Gillette Company. Prior to founding The Schawbel Corporation, Bill Schawbel held senior management positions with The Gillette Company including President of Gillette-Japan and President of Braun North America. His marketing and management experience includes significant contributions to many of Gillette’s divisions within the U.S. and internationally with particular success in the areas of acquisitions and new business development.

The topic of Entrepreneurship will be discussed from the viewpoint of one of the most successful entrepreneur’s I know. For those of you who are new to this topic, you will learn how to get started, how to network and build business partnerships and the significance of philanthropy. In today’s society and with the growth in social networking, the barriers to starting your own practice have decreased and with the rise of Personal Branding, everyone is the CEO of Me Inc.
