YOUR WEEKLY HIT OF BRAND CLARITY
ABOUT YOUR HOST
I’m Andrea TheoJohn — former corporate gal and brand sculptor + your podcast host.
I started this podcast because I was craving a space where real-world branding and strategy conversations could happen — with nuance, heart and actual utility. Not jargon. Not fluff. Just truth that works.
As an Alaskan Native (Tlingit), Filipino and Black woman entrepreneur living in America — with a heart forever tethered to Scotland — I’ve seen the inside of Fortune 500 boardrooms and grassroots non-profits alike. I’ve lived the pivots, the positioning work, the brand evolution cycles. The big wins and the not-so-glamorous lessons in between.
This podcast explores what actually moves the needle: the timeless principles that still work as well as the timely tips to keep you in "the now," the stories that resonate plus the strategies that scale. It’s not about being loud for the sake of it — it’s about showing up with clarity, courage and the kind of brand voice that actually cuts through (because that's what it was designed to do). Join us.
