Starting off with a funny take on high school graduations and parenting philosophies to business decisions and branding missteps, Ben and Wade unpack how sticking to your brand identity helps guide decisions, build trust, and ultimately shape long-term success. They share candid stories from startup lessons and quirky business rules to major brand blunders like New Coke and HBO’s identity crisis.
