In this episode of The Brand ON! Show, Brandon Coleman Jr teams up with business strategist Michael Neeley to break down what most entrepreneurs miss: branding without strategy is just noise. They dive into solopreneurs, rebranding for scalability, and how over-branding can kill your message. From exit strategies to podcast cover designs, this is a masterclass in building a business that lasts. The biggest takeaway? If you’re branding without clear objectives—or holding onto a name that doesn’t serve you—it’s time for a change. Drop the ego, use common sense, and turn your Brand ON!

Transcript (with chapter marks)
00:02:35 Foundation of a Brand
Brandon Coleman Jr: If your strategy is out of whack, I don’t care how good your brand is, it’s worthless.
00:08:25 Everything Has an Objective
Michael Neeley: One of the things that I do as a business strategist is I always tell people, what is the objective of every little thing you do, it has an objective.
00:16:27 Your Ego May be Deariling Your Brand
Michael Neeley: Sometimes people’s egos get involved, and they like to think that they’re more well-known than they really are… Who are you preaching to? Are you preaching to the choir? Are you preaching to an audience that has never heard of you?
00:27:33 Be of Service to Succeed
Michael Neeley: When it’s your own business—and I get it, there are those out there who are just in it to get rich quick, trying to make a buck, and they’re not here to serve or be of service in the world, amen—but we’re here to be of service. We love what we do. We love our clients. And our business is our life, too.
