May 05, 2023 Get Commercial Directing Film Schooled by Master Classman Jordan Brady
Some people have so much knowledge to share, it can't be condensed into a single course, talk, or workshop. Jordan Brady - one of the goodest good guys - has at least placed his deep, deep trove of experience under one roof - Commercial Directing Film School. It's super-nichey -- he doesn't teach general filmmaking, or develop longform projects -- and that's how he likes it. He's currently known for shooting cars & celebs in the context of comedy-dialogue. His handbook - Commercial Directing Voodoo - is a must, as is his long-running podcast RESPECT THE PROCESS, where guests like Judd Apatow, Adam McKay, and lots of heavy-hitting ad bizzers congregate to shoot the sh*t about shooting commercials.

April 21, 2023 Making an Asset Out of Yourself for a Fantastic Finale, with Stephanie Hayes
We're living longer, and retiring later (if at all), but that doesn't mean we're not evolving! More likely, we're figuring out what to do NEXT. Stephanie Hayes, host of the Real People, Real Business podcast, is the founder of the Entrepreneurial Offramp - a pathway for established business owners to move from revenue to wealth, and to plan an eventual exit from their business. Most business owners think an exit is only for Silicon-Valley startups, or venture-funded product companies, but in reality, they've actually created value already, and with a few tweaks, they can start leveraging that value and multiply it over time.

March 17, 2023 When You Care as Much About the Sauce as the Coverage: Glenn Rudin
I wanted to close out Season 1 of YES, BRAND with a fun chat about brands, pizza, messaging, insurance, and upscale cosmetics. So, naturally I invited Glenn Rudin of Always Been Creative to the studio. A self-described "product guy" for much of his illustrious career (think Revlon, Sherwin-Williams and other Fortune 500 companies), Glenn knows selling and messaging up and down (he's known as the "Message Master"). And what we've realized is that today, while we prefer the term 'personal brand,' we're all products.

March 09, 2023 Chelsea Talamantes Will Help You Create That Big Beautiful Thing
In this episode, Hersh Rephun and guest Chelsea Talamantes dive deep into the world of rebranding. They explore Chelsea's current brand and her plans for change, the role of personal connection, and the significance of fearlessness in business. Hersh shares personal anecdotes from his life as a comedian and father, while emphasizing the value of learning from trial and error. The duo concludes with a discussion on future plans and Chelsea's powerful message on embracing failure for success.
I did not know Chelsea well before I sat down with her for this in-person interview. Even standing beside her as a few of us who were attending the same event met for the first time, I picked up on her directness and sincerity. This is a woman who gives a sht about the people she works with - and she only wants to work with people she gives a sht about. That felt like the right starting point for this conversation, and I was excited by the way it all played out.

March 03, 2023 Purpose Play: Nashville’s James O’Connor Harnesses Talent and Intent
James Kevin O'Connor has developed an amazing personal brand with his faith and his musical artistry at center stage. His sense of himself is harmoniously in sync with the world around him. As you'll see from our conversation - and from the track he plays for me during our interview - he is as complex as his lyrics and as strong in his resolve to live out his dharmic, creative plan, to its very (sweet) end. If you're a speaker, he can craft a branded musical theme song for you. And he's a chaplain, so in addition to having soul, he has a feel for yours!

February 17, 2023 Let Steve Buzogany Show Your Appreciation!
What do Santa's Elves do the rest of the year? I have an idea, because - and I hope he takes this the right way - my YES, BRAND guest Steve Buzogany has that Head Elf quality. His enthusiasm, not only for gifting, but for client appreciation as well, is off the charts. And, significantly, his firm, Appreciation Advocate, does NOT gift on holidays; its strategy is to make it about the client, and the needs of their VIPs, not the mad Nov-Dec rush in which you heartfelt message is most likely to feel commercialized and to simply get lost. Join me for a chat with Steve, to find out how he transitioned from real estate honcho to thankyou guru!
More About Steve:
Since 2012, Steve has been a small business owner who focused his business around one thing...building deep and meaningful relationships. By doing so, he was able to sell nearly $100M worth of real estate working 3-4 days a week and while taking off 1-2 months per year. Today, Steve teaches other small businesses how they can quickly stand out among the crowd, build deep and substantive relationships, eliminate burnout and take more time
