What can we learn about building our own professional brand from someone who spent decades helping major companies, athletes and executives build theirs?
In this episode of Tracks To Success, Kraig Kann sits down with Beth Gast, founder of BG Public Relations, for a conversation about reputation, visibility, career growth and what it takes to stand out for the right reasons.
Beth built an impressive career in public relations and brand communications, with leadership roles connected to major organizations including the LPGA, Nike and adidas.
Along the way, she helped shape stories, promote brands, guide leaders and navigate the high-stakes moments where communication and reputation matter most.
But Beth’s story is also about something deeply personal.
After years of helping other people and organizations build their brands, she made the decision to build one of her own.
Kraig and Beth talk about the lessons career professionals can use to become more intentional about how they show up, how they communicate their value and how they take greater ownership of the reputation they are building every day.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
• Beth’s path into public relations
• What she learned from working with major sports and lifestyle brands
• Why reputation is built long before a crisis arrives
• What great communicators understand about trust
• How professionals can become more visible without becoming self-promotional

• Why betting on yourself can become one of the biggest career decisions you make
• How her definition of success has changed over time
Beth’s story is a reminder that your reputation is being built whether you are managing it intentionally or not.
