A Brand in Your Hand – Glenn Rudin

A Brand in Your Hand

Glenn Rudin

If you are in business, or you have a podcast, etc. – you are establishing your brand. This brand is what distinguishes you from others out in the world. If I mention the word, “COKE” – what comes to mind. For the majority of you, probably the soda drink, “Coca-Cola.” But what if nobody knew what that was? I remember, when I first joined the Army. I was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas for basic training. We finally earned our first 2 hour pass. I headed to the snack bar to have some of that GOOD FOOD that I had missed the past month or so. I went to the counter and asked for “A pop of coke.” The lady looked at me as if I was speaking French. She said, “What do you want?” I said “A pop, please.” She said, “What’s that?” I said, “A coke. A drink?” She then said, “OH, you want a soda?” You see, in Michigan, it’s called “pop.” Down south, it’s called “soda.” There are some that may have thought of “cocaine” when I said “coke.” But the majority, I hope, though of Coca-Cola. Did you imagine the red and white can? Or the slender bottle? Or the dark drink with bubbles and the glass sweating a little bit because its cold? That is all branding. What is YOUR BRAND? That is what our guest will be sharing with us today. All about branding. That is what will stand out in your customers minds when they hear your name or the name of your company. Amen. Glenn Rudin is known as the “Message Master.” He helps folks just like you and me to find clarity in their business. He has been working in the Branding and Messaging industry for more than 40 years, helping businesses to define “clear value” of their company, their brand and products and then communicate that to their customers. Amen! He is also a keynote speaker and the author of a great book, “A Brand in Your Hand.” This is the world’s FIRST fully rhyming, full color book on branding! Amen! Help me welcome to the program, Glenn Rudin. Glen, it is a blessing to have you join us today! First, let me start with this question. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Glenn Rudin?” How did you get started in this “Branding Business Strategy?” Now, I want to read something here from your book, just to give our audience a tease: “A key part of your business will be your brand… It’s something important, you must understand… On the following pages, I will provide… A clear, comprehensive brand-building guide… A brand is a way to make a business stand out… It makes it more noticeable and give it more clout… When your brandings on point, it adds to its mystique… This makes us feel like it’s special and unique… Your brand will remind us of what you’re about… It creates a strong message and leaves little doubt… It’s what we will think about you, when you’re not around… When done really well, it should be quite profound… Let me ask you… WHY rhyme? You also have a coaching class. It’s called, “Message Master Academy.” Tell us a little bit about that? It’s a weekly class. Do you go over just one of these aspects each week, so it’s a cumulative effect? Or do you do a basic overview of them all? Just share a little about they can expect? So there is no cost for this class? At least right now? If you could offer one piece of advice on branding to someone who is listening right now, what would that be? I’ll offer one here as well… You need to sign up for Glenn’s class. Amen! Glenn, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted more information or wanted to ask you a question – or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they get in touch with you? Your book, how can someone order a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon? I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, as you have heard, branding is essential if you want to grow your business. It is vital that you project the correct message through your branding. So many people get it wrong. And suffer as a result. If you start off with a bad branding message, it may stick with you for a very long time, even if you change the branding. Amen. You need to talk to Glenn Rudin right now. Get it all straightened out before you commit to even one more dollar in promotions. It’s that important. Just drop down into the show notes, click the links right there and reach out to Glenn Rudin right now, while you are thinking of it. Amen! Be sure to order a copy of his unique book, “A Brand in Your Hand” as well. I can guarantee it will put a smile on your face while getting the message stuck your mind and down in your heart. Amen!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
