My personal brand is what people say about me when I'm not in the room.

What would they say about you?

Or would they say anything?

Some people don't have a personal brand at all.

So they'd be like, if your name came up, nothing happened.

There's no association.

There's no style.

There's no nothing there.

Versus like the more things they know about you and can associate you with those feelings or things,

that becomes your brand.

Music you and can associate you with those feelings or things, that becomes your brand. Hey, everybody, what's up on this podcast. I'm talking to my buddy Neil Dingra, who I met many, many years ago. I think it was pre-pandemic. We met in person. He did something very unusual. And he has a very non-traditional, non-conventional way of thinking. And I want to tap into his

brain, how he built his personal brand, how he's able to create an event from nothing and build

a really engaged and pretty amazing community of people in the real estate, mortgage, finance

space. And it's pretty neat to see. Neil, welcome

to the show. Thanks for having me, Chris. Appreciate it. For people who don't know who we are,

can you please introduce yourself and tell us a little story about how you got here?

My name's Neil. My brand is Neil Home. And so a lot of people think that's my last name.

My last name is Dingro, but I started off in the real estate and mortgage industry,

just putting out content to build a personal brand, grow, try and get more clients, honestly,

just get more business.

And it ended up taking off, and my business quadrupled over a four-year period.

I was able to kind of reach the heights of my industry and do really well.
