Episode 227: Building a Brand with Your Community, Not Just for Them | Sanaz Dizaj Parham | Brand Director at Axel Arigato

What if your marketing strategy wasn’t just about selling products but building authentic relationships? Sanaz Dizaj Parham, Brand Director at Axel Arigato, joins Kara to share how community-first marketing has helped turn a Swedish streetwear startup into a global phenomenon. From growing up between cultures to becoming a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Sanaz shares what it means to lead with intention, claim your space, and step into your own power. This episode is a masterclass in leadership, mindset, personal development for women, and building purpose-driven brands that stand out by standing for something. We talk about branding, self-made women, redefining success, career development, and why women entrepreneurs and creatives need to stop playing small.

 
 
 
Learning is an important element to everyone’s experience. How do you grow if you’re not putting yourself out there? You need to constantly be exposed to something new for yourself and to also bring new energy to your business.
— Sanaz Dizaj Parham
