Just Some BS
Welcome to Just Some BS—the podcast for high-potential humans trying to figure it out without pretending they’ve got it all together.
Hosted by Brandon, this is where personal growth meets real talk, career chaos meets clarity, and leadership lessons are served with a side of sarcasm.
Each episode is part journal, part pep talk, part “did they just say that?”
Expect stories from the trenches of work and life, honest reflections, and the kind of insights you’d only get from someone who’s been through the BS and decided to podcast about it.
If you're into ambition, awkwardness, and a little bit of absurdity—you’re home.
New episodes every Tuesday.
Stay weird.

- The three surprise payoffs: nonstop learning (book-free!), deeper employee connections, and inbound biz opportunities from people who feel they already know you. brandon (4)
- How podcasting sharpened his active-listening & networking muscles—even for a self-described mixer-hater. brandon (4)
