Personal Branding Blog – Dan Schawbel

Volume 2 overview

After an entire year of Personal Branding Magazine (4 issues), we’re back with an explosive and very timely issue. You will notice a few design changes in this next volume starting with the main banner, which now uses the consistent logo over/under the “R” to create a registered mark. Expect a lot more great articles from experts this year and I look forward to hearing your feedback. Today, we would also like to announce a newly created Facebook page for the magazine, which you can be a fan of and receive updates. If you’ve read the magazine, even a previous issue, there is now a Facebook group just for YOU.

Volume 2 Issue 1 – FREE sample available today (HERE)

This issue explores a new generation of hip and cool youngsters, known simply as Gen-Y, but also referred to as the millennials. The long anticipated and earned retirement of baby boomers has given rise to the millennials, who are over 70 million strong. The legacy workplace will cease to exist as this generation enters and recruiters must be prepared to change their ways or self-destruct. Some millennials have even started changing our world as we speak. These new-age entrepreneurs are tech-savvy and ready to make a difference. Are you prepared?

What’s in the free sample?

There are a total of five articles in the free sample, including a piece on relationships by Tiffany Monhollon, as well as a sizing up of the millennial group by non other than our Blog Marketing Columnist, Jack Humphrey. You will also find part of my interview with 23-year-old CEO and author, Ryan Allis. There is also a few snippets of interviews with the famous John Earle (Johnny Cupcakes) and one of the most popular authors and bloggers in Silicon Valley, Ben Casnocha. Each of these individuals have achieved success as a millennial and we can all learn something from them.
