I've worked with a few US Founders on their personal brands this year.

(One is actually the cousin of Kanye West 🤯)

And I can tell you with 1000% confidence... 

The way Personal Branding is embraced in the US vs the UK is insane.

Business UK culture hates individualism, whereas the US celebrates it.

🇺🇸 US Founders mindset 🧠

→ Go big or go home.
→ Invest fast, fire fast.
→ High-risk tolerance.

🇬🇧 UK Founders mindset 🧠

→ Slow and steady wins the race.
→ Months of due diligence before investing.
→ Low-risk tolerance.

There's a reason the largest companies in the world are based in the US and not in Europe...

I spoke to 2 different Forbes 30u30s'ers over the past few weeks.

Here are the benefits:

Founder A
Year on the list: 2024
Space: Media

Opportunities
→ Offered free access to venues for events.
→ Invited to a bunch of paid speaking gigs & podcasts.
→ Constant messages from brands for potential partnerships.
→ Hotels have even reached out to her for free stays (The best benefit for me! 😅).

Was it worth it?
🗣️ "It was but I probably would've got many of these opportunities without it"

---

Founder B
Year on the list: 2021 
Space: Finance

Opportunities
→ Increased recognition and credibility from being on the list.
→ Generated business from networking with others in the cohort.
→ Plenty of opportunities to speak on stage and talk on podcasts.
→ Attended international events in the Middle East and the US due to making the list.

Was it worth it?
🗣️ "I wouldn't say it's shot up sales, but it's a point of reference now that I can always point back to and say I was listed. ".

Like every other 20-something Founder I've had appearing on this list on my goal list.

Really interesting to hear how they both got on the list too.

(I love my job - I feel like a journalist at times lol)
