Lead With Your Brand!™

Fall is here, and host Jayzen Patria kicks off this episode with a masterclass in refreshing your personal brand. Just like the energy of new notebooks and fresh school supplies, autumn is the perfect time to reset how you show up at work. Jayzen dives into brand lessons from household names, showing why chasing trends can hurt your credibility and how staying true to your “brand DNA” helps you shine in a noisy workplace.

• Treat Fall Like a Fresh Start - Back-to-school season isn’t just for kids—it’s your cue to recharge your brand, reset your goals, and show up with fresh energy at work.
• Refresh, Don’t Reinvent - Successful brands evolve without abandoning their roots. In your career, that means updating your approach while staying true to what makes you uniquely valuable.
• Don’t Chase Trends - From Cracker Barrel to Lifetime TV, Jayzen shows how copying others or chasing “what’s cool” can backfire. The same is true in your career—lean into what your audience already counts on you for.
• Super-Serve Your Super Fans - Identify the bosses, peers, and clients who rely on you most and focus on consistently delivering for them.
• Know Your Brand DNA - Define the few words that describe who you are today—not who you were years ago. Anchor your brand in your authentic value and let that guide how you evolve.
• Be Premium, Not Generic - The biggest risk is blending in. Don’t let your career brand become “ a commodity like coffee.”

In this Fan Favorite episode, Jayzen Patria explores a powerful branding lesson: sometimes your brand is not just about what you choose to do, but just as much about what you choose not to do.

Drawing on a story from Nike’s brand strategy, Jayzen shows how being crystal clear on your brand DNA means making bold decisions—even saying “no” to opportunities that don’t align. By setting boundaries and refusing activities that dilute your identity, you ensure your brand remains consistent, authentic, and impactful.

Jayzen challenges listeners to take a closer look at their own professional lives: what activities, habits, or commitments might be pulling you away from the brand you want to be known for? How can you more consciously choose to focus only on the actions that build and reinforce your unique value?

• Your brand is built by choice. It’s not defined by your title, employer, or manager—it’s defined by the deliberate actions you take.
• Defining what you don’t do is as important as defining what you do. Clear boundaries help your brand stay strong and recognizable.
• Stop running on autopilot. Evaluate the tasks and commitments that may be easy but don’t actually support your brand.
• Stay aligned with your brand DNA. Every decision should reinforce who you want to be known as, not distract from it.

When the world feels unpredictable—industries in flux, layoffs in the headlines, and AI rewriting the rules of work—it’s easy to go into survival mode. But in this week’s episode, Jayzen Patria offers a powerful reminder: strong brands don’t shrink when things get hard—they step up.

He reflects on pivotal moments in his own career—like the chaotic merger between Universal Studios and GE—and how choosing to embrace change rather than resist it opened doors he never imagined. Instead of waiting for things to settle, he leaned into the storm, raised his hand, and became the bridge between corporate and creative cultures. Years later, during the 2009 financial crisis, Jayzen faced another turning point. With travel banned and training budgets slashed, he didn’t retreat—he got on planes himself, showed up in person, and found a new way to lead.

The message is clear: This is not the moment to coast. It’s the moment to grab the wheel. When you spot a problem, that’s your invitation to solve it—using your unique mix of skills, experiences, and passions.

So what’s your next turn? What opportunity is hiding inside the chaos?

After Jayzen’s powerful open, he’s joined by the vibrant and fearless Pamela Zapata—founder and CEO of Society18, a multicultural influencer marketing agency that’s shaking up the industry. Pamela’s journey from behind-the-scenes roles at E! and Ryan Seacrest Productions to launching a seven-figure business is both bold and deeply human.

She shares how she built Society18 from a side hustle into a full-fledged agency, not because she wanted to build an empire, but because she saw a problem worth solving: creators of color were underrepresented, underpaid, and undervalued. With heart, hustle, and a whole lot of spreadsheets, Pamela took the leap. Her first year in business? She hit seven figures.

Pamela opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship—the burnout, the mindset shifts, and the pressure of scaling fast without a business degree. But through it all, she remained grounded in her purpose: to create impact, amplify diverse voices, and pave the way for others like her.

Whether you're navigating layoffs, contemplating your next move, or building something from the ground up, this episode is your reminder that the bend in the road might just lead you to your breakthrough—if you're brave enough to turn.

As we hit the halfway mark of the year, Jayzen kicks off the show with a powerful coaching moment to help you shift from surviving to thriving in your career. Whether your company formally conducts mid-year reviews or not, now is the time to pause, reflect, and reset. Why? Because your next career breakthrough won’t wait for a job posting or a scheduled performance cycle. If you’re not driving the narrative, someone else will.

Listen now to hear Jayzen’s three essential questions to help you own the conversation, elevate your brand, and position yourself as the go-to person for what’s next:

• What are you most proud of accomplishing in the first half of the year? Go beyond the task list—highlight impact. What moved the business forward, inspired your team, or made a real difference?
• What did you learn? Wins and setbacks alike are learning moments. Showcase how you’ve evolved in your thinking, skills, or leadership approach. Growth is part of your brand story.
• What do you want to sharpen or focus on next? Set the vision. Demonstrate where you're headed and how you plan to get there. This isn’t about fixing weaknesses—it’s about leveling up your strengths and closing visibility gaps.

Whether you're an individual contributor or managing a team, Jayzen challenges you to use these questions as a framework not just for self-reflection, but also to coach and develop others. Bottom line: Your personal brand is built through consistent behavior—but it’s powered by intentional reflection. Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Lead with your brand now.

This week, Jayzen sits down with award-winning creative leader Tina Shaw, Creative Director at Activision, for a rich conversation about evolution, resilience, and the power of showing up as your full self—especially when starting over in a new industry.

Tina gets candid about her leap from comfort into challenge, walking away from success at NBCUniversal to join the gaming industry where she had to start fresh and rebuild her reputation. She opens up about the importance of staying curious, embracing humility, and betting on yourself—even when it’s scary.

In this week’s episode of the Lead With Your Brand! podcast, Jayzen Patria kicks things off not in a boardroom, but in a theme park. Fresh from a behind-the-scenes visit to Universal’s new Epic Universe, Jayzen shares unexpected (and powerful) lessons about personal branding drawn from immersive rides, gothic taverns, and talking portraits.

Why? Because the experience Universal crafted is more than entertainment—it’s a masterclass in branding. And your career should be, too.

It’s time to stop thinking of your work as a collection of disconnected tasks. Instead, ask “What’s the full experience people have when they interact with you—on Zoom, over email, in meetings, or across teams?”

Key takeaways include:

• Brand is experience. It’s not just what you do—it’s how others feel when they work with you. Your brand should be intentional, immersive, and memorable.
• Use your own language. Just like Universal has “portals” instead of lands and Starbucks has “baristas” instead of employees, you can craft a vocabulary that reflects your unique value and personality.
• Surprise and delight. Think about how you can go the extra mile—offer help before it’s asked for, share insights, or simply create moments that make people smile.
• Create emotional resonance. The most successful brands—and careers—are about more than results. They’re about storytelling, connection, and leaving a lasting impression.
• Be consistent across touchpoints. Whether it’s a quick text, a project presentation, or a hallway conversation, everything you do should feel like it’s part of the same “epic universe.”

Then, stay tuned for this week’s guest Stephanie Luros-Gilbert, who shares their own story of leading with their brand and creating a professional journey that’s anything but ordinary. As the Chief Commercial Officer at BSI and Food Service Holdings, she leads with a focus on innovation and impact across the foodservice space.  She’s passionate about opening up non-traditional career paths in hospitality and tackling issues like food insecurity.

In this week’s episode, Jayzen dives into the buzz around the return of "HBO Max" and the revival of the Starbucks experience—not just as corporate case studies, but as powerful metaphors for your personal and professional brand.

Jayzen unpacks why a logo change isn’t the same as a rebrand—and how true brand evolution stays rooted in what made you great in the first place. Drawing lessons from the bold branding moves of household names, Jayzen challenges you to reflect on your brand DNA, your super-premium positioning, and how your “packaging”—from your Zoom background to your energy—either supports or confuses your message.

Through stories, insights, and even a charming personal moment at Starbucks, Jayzen reminds us that great brands don’t chase trends. They evolve with purpose.

Key Takeaways:

• Why most “rebrands” are really just repackaging
• The difference between updating your look vs. evolving your brand
• How HBO Max’s brand journey reflects strategic realignment—not reinvention
• How your personal “packaging” (attire, background, tone) supports—or sabotages—your professional image
• The importance of staying grounded in your core strengths while adapting to new roles and environments

Your brand is not just what you do—it's how you make people feel. Your packaging should amplify your brand, not create confusion. Don’t be a commodity like coffee—be a super-premium brand like Starbucks. Stay true to your brand DNA, and evolve with intention.

Is your career really a ladder—or is it something much more dynamic? In this episode of Lead With Your Brand!, Jayzen Patria flips the script on traditional career trajectories and challenges you to think about your path as a career jungle gym—with diagonal moves, lateral steps, trade-offs, and breathers that still lead to powerful breakthroughs.

Whether you’re climbing, swinging, or pausing for perspective, this episode is a masterclass in how to evolve your personal brand to match your evolving career.

Key Takeaways:

• Why the career ladder is an outdated model—and how the jungle gym offers a better path for today’s professionals
• How to evaluate opportunities through the intersection of your strengths, passions, and market needs
• Why some “backward” or “lateral” moves are actually your greatest opportunities for growth
• How your brand should evolve in sync with your career—but always return to your core
• The power of defining your brand belief, promise, and position as you move through your journey
