Disruptor Nation, this episode is for the creators and founders who are done playing small and ready to turn their personal story into a scalable brand.

I sat down with Erik Cabral, an artist, investor, podcast host, and founder of On Air Brands to unpack how he made the leap from a traditional career to full-on creative entrepreneurship. Erik’s journey spans art school, graphic design, corporate exits, and real estate, all leading him to the power of podcasting. And what he’s built since then is proof that your story is your brand and your brand can become your most valuable asset.

Here’s what we unpack:

• How Erik’s early passion for art led to corporate burnout and the moment he decided to take the leap

• The hard truths of the art world, and how that fueled his transition into entrepreneurship

• Why podcasting became the center of his brand and the engine behind his network

• How he connects real estate investors through live podcast events and the ripple effect it creates

• The win-win dynamic between podcast guest and host and how to make it work

• His personal framework for branding clients through values, mission clarity, and authentic voice

• The real investment of time, capital, and risk behind building media empires

• Why writing a book helped him clarify his message and the lessons he hopes to share through it

Whether you're launching a show or scaling your brand, Erik brings real talk, tactical value, and a heart for service.
