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.

Planet-First Beats: Mar Ibrahim on Turning Concerts into Climate Wins
When Egyptian-born pianist-producer Mar Ibrahim couldn’t find a job that merged music and climate action, he wrote his own—cold-emailing production giant Nimblist and launching its Planet First Initiatives (PFI) sustainability division mar-brandon. Today Mar helps artists from Green Day to Bon Jovi cut carbon without killing profit—or the vibe.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why one night of arena power equals 10,000 family homes—and how Mar’s PFI decarbonizes that draw step-by-step mar-brandon
- The Robin Hood Benefit case study: composting 3,000 guests’ leftovers to generate energy for 5,000 buildings mar-brandon
- Three low-cost wins any venue can copy—waste-sorting bins, local vendors, battery packs instead of diesel mar-brandon
- How a $60 carpet-recycling move slashed emissions and saved money mar-brandon
- Using AI drag-and-drop dashboards to turn vendor data into instant carbon reports mar-brandon
- The storytelling trick that makes sustainability numbers actually resonate with fans and sponsors mar-brandon
Whether you book club shows or stadium tours, Mar’s approach proves climate action can start with one simple change—and snowball into culture-shifting impact.
