In this episode, I’m chatting with Karah-Leigh Hancock, who is the owner of the BSB Fangirls community and also the author of an upcoming book celebrating BSB’s 30-year legacy. And they’re still going strong!
Karah also shares her favorite memories as a Backstreet Boys fan and how her love of the boy band landed her a job and a book deal.

Here’s why Making the Brand is everyone’s favorite marketing podcast:
“As a communications professional, it’s hard to find a podcast that really inspires you and makes you want to keep listening. Especially during the dead week between Christmas and New Years. Had my pen and paper out so I could take notes. Started with the Kevin from Manscaped episode and then went to their socials to pick out what i learned. Thanks Brianne!”
