WTF happened with Foxtrot!?
Is Personal Branding for me?
So, you wanna build a killer personal brand without being all over everyone's feed? Totally get that! Here's the scoop on how to slay in your career game while keeping things low-key. Check out these savvy tips that'll help you shine professionally without stepping too far into the spotlight. Let’s dive in!
1. Check Your Comfort Zone
Personal branding is cool if you can find a way to show off what you’re good at without feeling too exposed. Opt for platforms like LinkedIn where you can hype up your professional skills without oversharing about your personal life.
2. Get Creative with Content
If you’re not about being center stage, you can still build your brand by putting out awesome content. Think about writing insightful articles, starting a podcast, or sharing behind-the-scenes peeks at your projects. This way, you can make a name for yourself without putting your whole life on display.
3. Rely on Your Squad
Boost your brand with a little help from your friends or professional connections. Getting shoutouts, recommendations, or just networking can push your rep without you having to be in the limelight all the time.

Foxtrot and Dom’s Kitchen: A Chicago cautionary tale
If you pay attention to business news, you’ve probably heard about the failed merger between Foxtrot and Dom’s Kitchen in Chicago. But what exactly happened?
Okay, so Foxtrot and Dom’s Kitchen were supposed to team up and become this epic foodie force, right? They thought it would be a perfect match—Foxtrot’s got the fast-casual vibe and Dom’s is all about that gourmet life. Sounds like a dream, but nope, it totally flopped. Turns out, they just couldn’t mesh. Like, their business styles and goals were way different, and some money issues popped up out of nowhere. So, yeah, the whole merger crumbled. Big reminder that just because two things sound good together doesn’t mean they’ll work out. Now they’re both shutting down. Major bummer, huh?

Weekly Quote
"Mergers often represent a tremendous leap of faith, but they're also an opportunity to combine strengths in a way that should be strategically advantageous. The challenge lies in integrating not just systems, but also people and cultures."
