105: Building the Brand: Part 6 "The Storytelling Machine"

105: Building the Brand: Part 6 "The Storytelling Machine"

In Part 6 of the series, I take time and recount the journey of BPN from April 2019 to summer of 2022, highlighting our move to a second warehouse, the introduction of the hybrid athlete, and the explosive growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.


We'll talk about some personal milestones, such as my first Ironman, tackling the Leadville 100, and shifting focus to the committed audience. I'll emphasize the importance of storytelling, community building, and lessons learned from endurance training that parallels business and life. The episode reflects on both professional and personal growth, especially after becoming a father.
