The Image Connection Show — Episode 28: From Lived Experience to Legacy

In this episode of The Image Connection Show, Jenny Dewberry sits down with Maria Isa, a former corporate brand strategist for global giants like Unilever and Colgate-Palmolive, turned Legacy Architect and founder of Afrimaisha. For more than a decade, Maria helped transform everyday products into iconic global brands. Today, she applies that same strategic playbook to leaders and entrepreneurs helping them turn their lived experience, wisdom, and expertise into something tangible, ownable, and scalable. Too often, professionals carry decades of insight but remain a “secret” in their industry. Maria bridges the gap between knowing and being known, guiding clients to package their expertise into books, frameworks, and offerings that truly make an impact. As an internationally certified mBIT coach, Maria integrates the intelligence of the head, heart, and gut, ensuring that the personal brand you build is not just strategic but deeply human, authentic, and sustainable. In this conversation, we explore: 1. Why experience alone doesn’t create authority systems do 2. The difference between being skilled and being seen as the expert 3. How image plays a role in packaging wisdom into legacy 4. Moving from “hidden brilliance” to recognized leadership 5. Building a brand that people genuinely relate to and trust This episode is for leaders who know they have something meaningful to offer and are ready to turn their life’s wisdom into a lasting asset. 🎧 Available on: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Spreaker, Amazon Music/Audible, Deezer, Podcast Addict, Podchaser — search The Image Connection Show. 💛 Support the show: • Stripe: buy.stripe.com/00w9AU7R8dH090deoAefC0d • Cash App: $imageinsideout 🎬 Watch or listen now — and share with someone ready to elevate their professional presence.
