On this week’s episode of Brand:Me, I’m joined by the beautiful and magnificently talented Broadway actress, Meghan Picerno. Meghan shares that growing up in Chicago, theater wasn’t always on her radar for her future. From originating from singing in church as a kid and then getting her musical start solely in the opera world, with a twist of fate and keeping an open-mind, she made her big-time Broadway debut as the lead in Phantom of the Opera. We discuss that you’re really able to find who you’re meant to be through exploring hobbies, activities and things that make you happy. Maybe you don’t want to launch a product or be a big tv personality for your career path, but if there’s something fun that makes you happy, you have nothing to lose - so just TRY it.

It’s just strictly fam on this week’s episode of Brand:Me. Join me on my first mini solo episode where I dive into the chaotic world that is everyone’s latest and favorite, TikTok. While I always like to recommend diversifying your media presence, I give my take on the effectiveness TikTok can have on pushing your personal or professional brand to the next level. Being active on TikTok and finding your niche can really open some wild doors you never thought possible. It’s helped me as an influencer reach a brand new audience but on the other hand, it’s helped my life out as a consumer like I never imagined. Whether you’re doing the latest dance trends, showing off a new clothing haul or just swiping for hours like the rest of us, TIKTOK IS IT!
