Returning to the podcast today is Angie Avard Turner, an attorney for creatives who specializes in intellectual property protection, including trademarks and copyrights.

In today's conversation, we're talking about when you need to protect your business, what that protection can look like, and—perhaps most importantly—the potential cost of ignoring it. We'll discuss how to identify the intellectual property you've created and the steps you can take to protect the valuable assets you've worked so hard to build.

If you currently have little or no intellectual property protection in place, don't let that overwhelm you. Let this episode encourage you to make a plan, start somewhere, and take the first step toward protecting your business and your brand.

Welcome to the Monday Minute with Michele – your quick hit of strategy, insight, and actionable ideas to help you move your business forward one small win at a time.
