Quote
I believe the most crucial branding decision I made was to put myself out there, as “ Ask Chef Dennis”, because my brand is me. At the time, many people were reluctant to show their faces in virtual blogging sessions, but I knew from my experience in the kitchen that people tend to do business with those they like, trust, and form a relationship with. By putting myself out there and showing my face, I was able to establish a personal connection with my audience, and that’s what helped me grow my brand.
