Summary

Today, I’m sitting down with my close friend and BPN employee #5, Jordan Utter. Jordan was brought on at BPN in 2019 as the first creative hire. We’re sharing stories about the early days and what it took to build not only a company but also a brand fueled by creativity. We’re talking about lessons learned, creating out of passion instead of following trends, how the mission impacts your work, and everything in between. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
