Today's episodes are some of my favorites. I hate stories of just wavetops, and I love stories about people who refuse to give up on what they believe and have built. Don't sleep on this episode; there is much to be gained and learned. Dan Ellis has been making performance footwear for 35+ years, starting his shoe-making career at Saucony, where he worked at their factory in Maine, learning each step in the shoe-making process. He went on to work for Adidas and Reebok, making specialized shoes for multiple Olympic and professional athletes. In 2005, DEVCOM (aka "Natick Labs") asked Dan to work with the Navy SEALs to develop a suite of boots, which turned into the brand OTB Boots. One elite unit nicknamed him "Bootmaker to the Good Guys", which is used today as a tagline for the OTB Boot Brand.   Today's Sponsors:  Montana Knife Company: https://www.montanaknifecompany.com LMNT: https://www.drinklmnt.com/clearedhot  

In a world obsessed with conversion rates and customer acquisition costs, have we forgotten the one thing that actually makes both of them better?Agility requires more than just the ability to react quickly to market signals. It demands a stable, strategic core—a brand—that provides the necessary context and direction to ensure your pivots are purposeful, not just panicked. Today, we're going to talk about a fundamental truth that many organizations are wrestling with: what looks like a growth problem is often a brand problem. When acquisition costs are climbing and churn is a constant threat, the default response is often to double down on performance marketing. But in crowded markets, that's a race to the bottom. We'll explore why brand is the ultimate lever for creating sustainable demand, pricing power, and the kind of loyalty that performance channels simply can't buy. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Kimberly Storin, CMO at Zoom. Kim, welcome to the show! About Kim Storin I've always believed that great marketing is about creating real connections with customers, partners, and teams. These connections are the moments that define a brand. As CMO of Zoom, I lead a global marketing organization focused on evolving how the world sees and experiences Zoom. We're much more than a meetings platform—we're a modern communications platform that powers collaboration, culture, and connection across the customer journey and employee experience. I draw from my experiences scaling marketing at fast-growth startups and global enterprises alike, grounded in a passion for people, purpose, and performance. I've helped bring AI-powered solutions to market, and today, I use AI to supercharge our team and unlock speed, creativity, and focus across everything from content and campaigns to strategy and insights. Throughout my career, I've navigated complexity, balanced brand and pipeline, and built teams that thrive in change. Today, my role is as much about strategy and positioning as it is about building a culture that can adapt and lead.,Yes,This will be completed shortly Kim Storin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlystorin/ Resources Zoom: www.zoom.us The Agile Brand podcast is brought to you by TEKsystems.

Welcome to Barn Talk! In today's episode, Sawyer and Tork are joined by brand builder, restaurateur, and bourbon aficionado Tim Jones. From his small-town Kentucky upbringing—where cattle farming, moonshining, and greeting card factories shaped his early days—to working with iconic bourbon brands like Buffalo Trace and Weller, Tim Jones shares his journey through the world of creativity and entrepreneurship. We dig into the grit behind building great brands, Tim Jones's leap into owning his own businesses, including the buzzworthy Boondogs hot dog joint, and how bourbon became a centerpiece of his story. Plus, hear about Tim Jones's behind-the-scenes experiences on Discovery Channel's Moonshiners and Master Distiller, and the lessons learned from both triumphs and setbacks (including exploding cans!). This episode packs practical wisdom, laughs, and inspiration for anyone chasing their own vision—whether you're a farmer, a founder, or just a fellow bourbon lover.Shop Farmer Grade

In this episode of Inside Personal Growth, Greg Voisen sits down with Amit Chitre, founder of R3 Communications and author of The Other Playbook: Brand Lessons Every Student-Athlete Needs (But No One Teaches). Amit blends decades of expertise—from journalism to crisis communications to training Fortune 500 executives—to reveal the life skill every student-athlete needs: building a personal brand with intention. This conversation uncovers why your brand is not your logo, highlight reel, or follower count… but how you make people feel. Through real stories—including insights learned while coaching his own sons—Amit shows how young athletes can define who they want to be, protect their reputation, and succeed not only in sports, but in school, relationships, and life. This episode is essential listening for parents, coaches, mentors, and young athletes who want to develop clarity, confidence, character, and leadership in a world dominated by social media and constant scrutiny.

Once in a while you stumble on to something that is not just insightful and historic but also fun. Root Beer is one of those topics. Born from the health tonics named Sarsaparilla, Root Beer was invented in the late 19th century by Charles Elmer Hires. Its popularity exploded leading to other notable brands like Barqs and A&W, each with their own unique story. Root beef is a look at an older world, where healthy, tasty and joyful all came together to transform a culture, create innovations like "root beer floats", all reflecting a different America that didn't take itself so seriously and finding time to enjoy a natural drink that brought smiles to faces.. as it still does.  #BardsFM_TheAmericanBrand #RootBeer #Joy Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Another new Chinese car brand is about to hit the market – GAC Australia has confirmed its launching here with its Enzoom SUV – just one highly equipped model to start, the GAC Enzoom GL will compete with the likes of the MG ZS and GWM Haval Jolion in the small/medium SUV market – price around $30,000, powered by a 1.5-litre turbo four cylinder with 125kW and 270Nm of torque driving the front wheels through a seven-speed dual clutch automatic – said to return 6.6/100km economy on the combined city/cycle. Equipment: a panoramic sunroof, faux leather trim, dual zone climate control, a powered and ventilated driver’s seat, 18-inch alloy wheels and wireless phone charging. I’ve been testing cars for 45 years and have never seen the car market more competitive with a swag of new models – but is it sustainable – only time will tell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we take a look at four brands that have found a way to survive for decades. One company has been entertaining crowds with wax for 200 years. One restaurant has been topping their ice cream cones with a unique swirl for over 80 years. Another company teamed up with a certain debonaire spy 60 years ago. And a fourth brand has made a fortune blowing bubbles for over 75 years. Their stories are fascinating. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brand authenticity becomes more valuable as AI equalizes content creation tools across competitors. Jon Levesque, CEO of Seeq, argues that when AI can produce identical copy and ads for everyone, the essence of brand message and authentic human experience becomes the final competitive moat. The discussion explores how creators can leverage AI to enhance human discovery rather than replace it, and frameworks for building communities where authentic experiences drive value for restaurants, creators, and consumers simultaneously.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When opportunity knocks, sometimes the smartest move is to just say yes and figure it out later. Richard Fitzgerald, founder of Augustus Media - the company behind Lovin' Dubai, Lovin' Saudi and more — reveals how 100 days of relentless work and curiosity helped him build one of the Middle East's leading media companies from scratch.

Instagram Youtube TiktokSpotifyBio Clinton Brand III, better known as CBIII, is a California-based rapper whose new single “I Won't Quit” delivers a motivational and relatable message for anyone facing hardship. Produced by Tunna Beats, the track carries a Blurry Face energy. It opens with a violin and the soft vocalizations of featured singer Alex Brinkley. When the beat drops, piano, bass, and drums blend with CBIII's reflections on overthinking, contemplating, and debating why he refuses to give up.Lines such as:Sad but I should be filled with joy.Played with my heart just like it was a toy.But the truth is I'm tired of venting.This constant feeling is relentless.Nobody wants to listen and everyone is a critic.Hate my life but I won't give up, I can't give in.illustrate the emotional tension of the song. “I Won't Quit” confronts the fear of failure—what if I'm not good enough—while contrasting it with the resilience expressed in the title.The song's final quatrain is especially powerful. Beginning with CBIII's signature wordplay, the message ultimately becomes one of determination and positive change:Phenomenal and astronomical anomaly, that's what I would like to be.I don't want to eat, I don't want to sleep.Tired of this life, the way that I've been living.It's time to make a change for the greater good.This battle with self-doubt and constant overthinking makes “I Won't Quit” deeply relatable. CBIII hopes listeners feel inspired to stay strong when they face similar struggles.The inspiration behind the song is intensely personal. After losing both parents at a young age, Brand was raised by his grandmother and later entered foster care. A recent visit, during which he saw his grandmother's memory fading, was painful for him because she had once been his greatest supporter. It left him feeling abandoned and in a dark place.“I wrote the song ‘I Won't Quit' because at that time I was suicidal. I didn't have anybody else to turn to because my grandma didn't really care anymore,” he shares.The vulnerability in the lyrics initially made him hesitant to release the track. “I actually sat on the song for about five months before even thinking about releasing it because it is so close to home that I wasn't sure if I would have the courage to share it.”Now that the song is out, that vulnerability has become its greatest strength. Many listeners can identify with the experience of missing family support, doubting themselves, and still knowing they must push forward.Beyond his personal drive to achieve greatness, Brand has another powerful motivation: his younger brother, who is also in foster care. Knowing his brother looks up to him, he wants to be an example that resilience matters.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

In this episode of The Story of a Brand Show, I sit down with the incredible twin sisters and co-founders of LouLou Lollipop, Angel Kho and Eleanor Lee.  From the very beginning, their story pulled me in—the handmade Etsy shop days, walking store to store in Vancouver with nothing but belief and a few samples, and the moment a total stranger at a Las Vegas trade show validated everything they had been working toward.  What struck me most was how deeply personal their journey is. Every product, every print, every decision is rooted in lived experience as moms trying to solve real problems for other parents. What unfolded in our conversation was an honest look at resilience, creativity, community, and the emotional reality of building a brand from scratch. Whether it was the joy of their "donut teether" taking off, the surprise of being contacted by a Nordstrom buyer, or their thoughtful approach to safety and sustainability, their passion is unmistakable. And hearing how their early supporters—from strangers to shop owners—helped shape the business reminds us that small acts of kindness can change everything. Here are some of the key moments from the episode: * The emotional impact of early validation—from a competitor at their first trade show and from the first boutique willing to take a chance on them. * How a simple, personal frustration as new moms sparked the idea for their first product: a safe, functional, beautiful teething necklace. * The role of pop-up markets, Etsy, and early Instagram collaborations—especially a pivotal moment when Thrifty Littles amplified their brand. * The unforgettable milestone of getting contacted by a Nordstrom buyer…and the disbelief that turned into their first major retail partnership. * Their thoughtful product evolution—from silicone teethers to award-winning sleep bags and meticulously designed muslin swaddles with playful, artful prints. Join me, Ramon Vela, as we listen to the full episode to hear the heartfelt, real, and inspiring journey behind LouLou Lollipop—and discover why their story resonates so strongly with parents around the world.

In this episode of The Story of a Brand, I sit down with Christopher Wu, Co-founder & CEO of Paper Culture, a company that has quietly—and consistently—been redefining what sustainable, beautifully designed paper products can look like. From day one, Paper Culture has stood at the intersection of modern design and deep environmental responsibility, long before sustainability became a cultural talking point. What moved me most was hearing the origin story: four founders, a six-page website, no automation, and the sheer grit it took to hand-typeset every order until two or three in the morning—all fueled by a mission they believed in. Throughout our conversation, Christopher shares the early chaos, the lessons learned from starting during the Great Recession, and the unwavering North Star that kept the brand alive for 17 years.  We talk about the power of design, why sustainability should never require a sacrifice in quality, and how physical products—like holiday cards, photo books, and personalized gifts—remain meaningful in an increasingly digital world. Paper Culture doesn't just sell cards; they sell connection, joy, and a chance to make a small but real impact on the planet. Key Moments From the Episode * The gratitude moment that started it all: Christopher remembers friends and family working late into the night during their first holiday season—unpaid—simply because they believed in the mission and wanted to help. * Starting during the 2008 recession: With a wedding, a new home, a baby on the way, and no venture funding, the team built a fully bootstrapped brand by embracing long-term horizons and reduced competition.  * Where design meets sustainability: Paper Culture was born from the idea that consumers shouldn't have to choose—great design and climate-friendly choices can and should coexist.  * Their mission as a true North Star: After 17 years, fighting climate change continues to be the company's guiding objective, driving everything from materials to processes to planting over a million trees.  * The lasting power of physical products: Even in a digital world, a holiday card or personalized gift still stands out—and reconnects people in a way screens can't.  Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to the episode. If you love brands grounded in mission, craftsmanship, and real human connection, you're going to enjoy this conversation.  Christopher's story is a reminder that business longevity comes from purpose, not hype—and that even the smallest choices we make as consumers can leave a meaningful imprint on the planet.

Could a pandemic business-plan lesson for a bored kid spark the next breakout fast-casual brand?This episode moves fast — because Rob Gresham's career has never slowed down. Chris Ressa sits with the restaurant veteran who went from washing dishes at 15 to helping architect the early operational engine behind CAVA's meteoric growth from zero to 80 stores.Rob shares the wild ride: running a steakhouse kitchen as a teenager, getting recruited by Chipotle to fix troubled locations, learning the business side under industry giants, and joining CAVA before it was a household name — building systems, opening markets, and helping scale a brand that eventually went public.Then the pandemic hit. Consulting work vanished. His son was bored. So Rob turned a homeschool project into something much bigger: a business plan for a scratch-made, allergen-conscious chicken concept. When it came time to name it, Rob's son delivered the winner: Isaac's — inspired by Isaac Newton, who invented calculus and discovered gravity while quarantined during the plague. “He changed the world in quarantine,” his son said. “You created a restaurant.
