Most brands have no clarity. They post, they create, they chase trends… but they have no idea what it’s all building toward. This is why I created the Brand Journey Framework. It’s four simple questions that provide an immense amount of clarity: 1. What do I want to have happen? 2. What would I have to be known for in order for that goal to happen? 3. What would I have to do in order to be known for the thing that makes my goal happen? 4. What would I have to learn in order to do the thing, to be known for the thing, to make my goal happen? If you can answer those honestly, you’ll know what you’re building toward and why it matters.

I have what I call the brand journey framework. And it's four simple questions. I like to reverse engineer every single thing that I want to do from the outcome I desire to today. So the first question that we ask is, why are we doing this? What's the outcome that we want? And then from there, it's what would I have to be known for in order for that outcome to occur? What do people need to know about me in order for this to happen? And then the next question, in order to be known for those things, to get the thing that I desire to have happen, what do I have to do? To be known for something, you gotta do shit. But then the next thing, what would I have to learn in order to do the things necessary to be known for this thing to get the outcome I want? Because oftentimes the things that are necessary to do, you might not know how to right now.
