How Podcasting is an Essential Part to grow your Brand Awareness w/ Alundas Havens

Join today’s conversation with Alundas Havens as we talk about how podcasting is an essential part of growing your brand awareness. Alundas is the CEO and Founder of Alpha Influence Media, host & Founder of The Winners Paradigm & Alpha Influence Media Podcasts (Top 2.5% In The World), a USMC Veteran, and a Keynote Speaker.

After getting kicked out of his home during high school, Alundas decided to join the United States Marine Corps to get some discipline back into his life. He got to a prestigious Enlisted Rank 6 position when he tore his cartilage and had to rethink his life.  At 23, he used his Veterans Affairs (VA) loan to become the first in his family to get a house. While going through a tough transition from the military, he listened to an Underdog Empowerment podcast with Zachary Babock that changed his life. He decided to start a podcast and work for himself – another first in his family to become an entrepreneur!  

His Alpha Influence Media now helps people recalibrate their mindset when they want to make a change but don’t know where. Now, he’s back in college, getting ready to graduate using his GI bill and thinking about getting a doctorate!
