Jon and Bryan Wish, Founder of BW Missions, talk about how to build your brand in today's market.

For the better half of his life, Bryan didn't belong to the common narrative of the world. Sports teams he didn't make, friend groups he didn't fit into, a fraternity he dropped after one week in rush, and jobs where his potential was tied to a direct report's approval.

Simply, Bryan wasn't on the right path and didn't know how to articulate it until he hit a quarter-life crisis (rock bottom) his junior year of college. Through self discovery, Bryan became clear on his individuality, leading him to find a new community propelling him to stand out fully on his own and find the path that was meant for him all along - entrepreneurship.

Traversing this pathway hasn't been easy. However, what it has provided Bryan is a chance to show up everyday personally and professionally 100% authentically as himself. On this journey Bryan has been able to help build multiple startups at the center of helping others find their pathways by building tribes of their own and sharing their voices. Today that represents BW Missions where he helps transform experts into thought leaders such as Allen Gannett (Author of The Creative Curve), Rick Smith (CEO Axon formerly TASER), Denise Gosnell (Head of Data at DataStax) and many more.

Bryan has been given the opportunity to share this message of crafting pathways to belonging in Thrive Global, PRSUIT, NGEN Summit, UGA Terry College of Business, and countless podcasts. His clients' messages have also been shared in Forbes, INC, Morning Brew, Wall Street Journal, New York Times and more.

As Robin Williams asks "What Will Your Verse Be?" in Dead Poets Society, we shape the verses that help the people stand out and build their path forward that will connect them with others in a meaningful way.
