Hey Reader!

How's your week going? I'm in Colorado visiting some friends for the next few days!

Chris and a few others are fans of Mr. Beast and have been wanting to try Feastables. If you aren't familiar, it's his chocolate bar that he wants to stomp out Hershey's with.

Mr. Beast recently rebranded Feastables with a new formula because the first one was, in my opinion, trash...and I guess everyone else thought so too πŸ˜…

Anyway, we ran to Walmart one night to pick up a Hershey's bar and a new (& improved? πŸ€”) Feastables. Then we did a blind taste test to see which one was better!

I'll admit I was very skeptical. After trying Mr. Beast's original bar, I thought there was no way he'd ever compete with Hershey's!

When we did the taste test, I knew right away that the first one I tried was Hershey's - it has such a nostalgic taste!

The next bite I took was the Feastable, and I was shocked by how good it was!

Mr. Beast got our votes and I'd say he actually stands a chance against Hershey's now.

Okay so that was fun and all but what does it have to do with blogging or business? Why am I sharing this with you?

Well, I think we can learn a thing or two from Mr. Beast here! I mean, we can definitely learn a lot from him overall. But this particular business venture stood out to me.

Here are my 2 main takeaways:

πŸ’ƒ Your personal brand is important.​
-It helps you stand out in the marketplace, especially in the age of AI.
-It allows you to build up a loyal audience that trusts you.
-It doesn't stick you in a box. You are you. Your personal brand is you. Your niche is you. And chances are, you're going to change and grow over time. Show your audience and let them grow with you.

🌱 Don't be afraid to try new things and make mistakes.
​
-Like Feastables, you don't have to be perfect! Try the thing and then learn from it. Keep taking action and improving it.
