Brandon's Journey

A friend of mine Christopher Schroeder recently wrote this post on LinkedIn, highlighting the best books he’s read this year. He worked through 110 books in 2019 and it made me wonder, how many books did I read in 2019 and what were they? It turns out it was far less than Chris’ 110, though […]

I find it refreshing to get out of the US, given how the impeachment inquiry is sucking all the oxygen out of the room at the moment. It gives me perspective, and with that comes a lot of gratitude. When I look at the world I see mass protests in countries from Chile to Iran […]

As you know from following me, over the last year or so I’ve been on a journey to make some important professional pivots. This has been a very difficult and incredibly rewarding experience, and last week I had an opportunity to sit down with coach Mark Silverman to discuss that journey on his podcast. This […]

I started listening to and reading Eckhart Tolle’s work a few years ago when I noticed I was perpetually obsessed with the next thing, which was squashing any joy the moment right now might have to offer.  I noticed this had become a real problem.  I was racing to the next meeting, focused on the […]

Once a month I have an acupuncture appointment. Over the years I’ve come to count on this time as an important part of my overall stress management routine.

I’m willing to say that just by being an aristocrat you’re out of touch.  The article does bring up some very good questions about what it might take to reduce the spread between the haves and have nots. I offer three […]

I received a note the other day asking me, what’s my biggest struggle? Note the definition of struggle.  “Make forceful or violent efforts to get free of restraint or constriction.” I don’t see life or business that way.  To me, the world is not something to oppose or violently fight against.  Nothing and no one […]

I’ve been getting some questions this week about digital media strategy and execution and my experience these last several months.  Late last spring I decided to become an expert in this space and realized I was very far from it.  Still am. Though I have been diving deep as a practitioner and have learned a […]

2018 is essentially behind us and I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on one of the most impactful years of my life.  Let’s call it my 2018 Holiday Letter. I look back on the year with great pride in my accomplishments. One of the most pivotal events for me in 2018 was repositioning […]
