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.
Just Some BS
I Spent 7 Weeks Working the Shop Floor as CEO. Here’s What Changed
Most CEOs spend their time in conference rooms.
I spent seven weeks sweating in welding bays, loading trucks, grinding metal, and trying not to embarrass myself.
In this solo episode of the Just Some BS Podcast, Brandon breaks down what happened when he spent seven weeks working in seven different departments at SWF Industrial — doing jobs he was absolutely not qualified to do.
This wasn’t a stunt. It was an experiment in perspective, process improvement, and leadership humility.
In this episode, Brandon shares:
• Why he chose to work the floor instead of running meetings
• What logistics, production, stainless, maintenance, and fabrication actually feel like
• The hidden stress inside every department
• Why starting a task wrong costs more than starting slow
• How physical exhaustion changes leadership empathy
• What shop work teaches you about quality, incentives, and accountability
• Why being bad at something can make you a better leader
• The real difference between hypothetical and lived process improvement
• How trust, humility, and effort earn real credibility
If you’re a leader who wants a deeper connection to your team, better decisions, and fewer blind spots, this episode is a raw, honest look at what happens when you stop leading from a distance.
