Ian Norris, Professor of Marketing and Psychology at Berea College in Kentucky, returns to talk about second-place brands.

Last year, we talked to Toronto sludge metal musician The Bunn. He had just launched an ambitious project to build a music career in a niche genre starting at age 50. A year later, we check in to see how the project is going, his wins and setbacks, and what the future holds.

We discuss how art and business don't have to be incompatible, serving your niche, and defining The Bunn brand. And as a piece of bonus content, we end with one of his songs - "Decorated" from WTLNDS.

Support The Bunn and his musical projects at thebunn.ca.

In part two of our interview with DC "The Brain Supreme" Glenn, of Tag Team, we talk about "Whoomp! There It Is" and how musicians can create killer live shows when most of the audience knows only one song. DC continues giving life and business advice that everyone should hear. And you'll never believe his answer when we ask what music he listens to today.

PARTY PEOPLE!!!

DC "The Brain Supreme" Glenn, one half of the iconic rap duo Tag Team, joins the Brand Outlaw podcast for a fun and educational two-part conversation.

In this episode, he talks about how being caught off guard by bad deals and misattribution jolted him toward learning and mastering digital marketing skills, mainly SEO. We discuss the success of Tag Team's "Scoop! There It Is" GEICO commercial and the mindset of planting seeds (like "Whoomp! There It Is") that decades later become sequoias.

Starting a music career at age 50 is hard enough. How about doing it in a niche metal genre? It sounds crazy, but it just might work for The Bunn.

Scott “The Bunn” Sokoloski is the 50 year old, baritone, sludge metal guy on the internet. A self propelled, high functioning autistic, multidisciplinary artist, he's on a mission to build a music career in a niche style while leveraging his neurodiversity as a creative asset. It's a tall order, but his careful planning and infectious optimism could be the keys to his success.

The Bunn joins Brand Outlaw to talk music, the "sellout" mentality, the importance of multiple revenue streams, and turning perceived obstacles into strengths. Even if you're not into metal and have no idea what "sludge" is, it's a fun, loose conversation with plenty of solid advice. And if you are curious about his sound, stick around until the end to hear his song "Imperial."
