Why haven't you yet?

Hi everyone,

This is a nudge to help you get going on that thing you’ve been wanting to do but haven’t done for some reason. Why haven’t you done it yet?

There might be several good reasons or maybe none. But you still know you should get to it, so what are you waiting for? Ready. Set. Go!

That thing for me was a new podcast collab with one of the most experienced brand agency owners and marketers, Bill Harper.

Sure, I’ve learned a ton from spending time with marketing gurus like Seth Godin and Gary Vaynerchuk— but they are not really in the trenches running businesses like you and me.

Bill Harper and I are both running our brand and production agencies like small businesses and working with brands of all sizes — not just the ones that do multi-million dollar Super Bowl ads or write bestselling books.

Yes, the title of the podcast has the word “BILLION” in it and that might feel hefty. It’s meant to be aspirational for most — and that’s okay.

You may only be shooting for 6-figures but we still want to encourage you to dream BIG and take this branding stuff seriously. It’s really worth it.

What’s the difference between having a product vs brand? Listen to the latest episode and find out!

Presenting my new collaboration creation:

The Billion Dollar Brand Podcast.

What’s it about?

A billion is at least 1,000x better than a million. This is a podcast for anyone who is trying to build a brand -- especially a billion dollar brand. 

Marketing and advertising industry veterans, Bill Harper (aka BrandBoss) and Bryan Elliott (from the acclaimed Behind the Brand podcast) team up to brainstorm new business ideas, interview business professionals who are building really great companies, analize what's right and wrong with brands, ad campaigns and more so that you can take what you learn here and apply it to your biz. 

Sample an episode or two and let me know what you think! And don’t forget to leave a review — I read every single one to see how we can continue to improve and deliver what you need!

Of course I’m still podcasting every week new episodes of my evergreen series, Behind the Brand. I just had bestselling author, James Clear on and it’s fire! Stay tuned for that episode coming very soon.

And on the client side, my production company The Goodbrain is currently producing 10 podcasts: 3 of our own; 3 confidentials under NDA and 4 others that I can show you from our growing roster of small biz clients who we are helping to grow their personal and consumer brands with audio and video.

If you’re curious about what I’m up to beyond podcasting, here’s a snapshot of what I’m doing for clients via my production company, The Goodbrain.

As always, my audio podcast and video series Behind the Brand as well as the all-new Billion Dollar Brand show is about helping you grow your self and biz. It’s a $0 cost solution designed for you to learn from some of the smartest and most successful people on the planet. I hope you’re taking full advantage of it!

If you’re an individual or company with a budget that needs help with brand strategy, marketing or creating original content [video, audio, photography], feel free to reach out and we can chat.

My production company, The Goodbrain has offices in Irvine and West Hollywood but we have clients in Seattle, NYC, Tokyo and wherever the project takes us.

If you’ve read down this far, I love hearing from readers and I’m always looking for feedback. How am I doing with this newsletter? How about the podcast and Youtube channel? Is there anything you’d like to see me do more or less of? What do you need? How can I help?
