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.

Culture, Branding & Real Leadership – What I Shared at Wake Up to Manufacturing
This solo episode is the raw, unfiltered version of Brandon’s talk at Wake Up to Manufacturing—a leadership breakfast hosted by the Manufacturing Association. But don’t let the setting fool you. This is NOT a fluffy talk about company culture or branding. It’s practical, tactical, and honest.
Brandon dives deep into:
- The 4 questions that reveal what your culture is really like
- How engagement directly drives efficiency, safety, and retention
- How to baseline your culture using free tools (including AI)
- What “win-win solutions” actually look like—and why they’re uncomfortable
- Why laughter is a competitive advantage (yes, really)
- How a company book club changed lives—and built trust
- Why personal branding isn’t selfish—it’s a leadership tool
- How his own brand brought in top-tier job applicants and new customers
- A low-cost, low-lift system to build your brand without losing your mind
If you’re a leader, business owner, or just tired of vague culture talks—this one’s for you. Full of tips you can use right now.
