On today's episode, we've got a personal branding story of someone who went from zero to hero.

He had nothing and then went to millions and millions of social media followers and now has multiple income streams.

How cool is that?

Pretty cool, I think.

Yeah. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of this serious sellers podcast by Helium 10.

I am your host Bradley Sutton and this is the show.

That's a completely BS-free unscripted and unrehearsed organic conversation about serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the Amazon world. We got somebody here who's not an Amazon seller, but one of the best at Brandy and I've ever known. We've got Brandon, akaB.B.k.a. MBA impersonator. Brandon, how's it going? Man, good. I can't complain, man. Thanks for having me, bro. How are you?

I'm doing awesome. And, you know, we've been talking about this for almost two years now.

I was coming on the podcast. I was like, you know, I'm just going to go to Phoenix. And we're going to get this done. So we're out here. If this sounds a little bit different, guys, I'm on my mobile setup out here, but hopefully you guys can hear it.

But before we get into your, you know, what you're

doing now and everything and the lessons that you have for Amazon sellers, because you don't sell on Amazon, but there's a lot of people out there who want to create a brand for themselves. You know, there's a lot of people who are selling on Amazon and they want to create a brand for their product. And I think you're going to be able to help with that. But let's, I always like getting the origin hero origin story here. So you are born and raised in Georgia. Yep,

Atlanta, Georgia. You have to. you're going to be able to help with that. But I always like getting the origin, hero origin story here.

So you born and raised in Georgia? Yep, Atlanta, Georgia. Yep, Dakota, Georgia. Okay. When you were like 8, 10 years old, what did you think you were going to be when you grew up? And I was playing baseball. I was playing baseball and soccer. So I thought it was going to be a baseball player or a soccer player. and then I slowly started getting into basketball.

But I just, I always basketball but I just I always

wanted to just I didn't I wanted to be a baseball player man and then the coaches they they messed

it up for me because they were always put their sons at the best position and stuff like that

and then I just started falling in love with basketball basketball was really my third sport

and from then on I was like okay yeah it's not I don't care about making it to the NBA, but I do want to go overseas and play professional. If I do make it to the NBA, then that's cool. But I was realistic at a young age. Like, it's only a certain percentage of guys that make it. So I already knew what I wanted to do just then and near. I just wanted to play professional basketball somewhere. I like it. Did you ever have like that entrepreneurial bug? Like were you one of those kids who was flipping baseball cards or or selling garbage paid kids cards or something in the? Man, I was always, I would go to different, different because it's the South. So I would go to different neighbors, houses, not going to

your grass cut. Yeah, I do front and back for $20 and I just raise the price each one. So

just little stuff like that. I even had like a little lemonade sale. Okay. Where, you know,

like I seen it on the grid. I mean, on the internet and I was like, okay, let me try this. Got my boys and stuff. So I always had that, yeah, the entrepreneurial bug just to try to do something. I even sew baby pit bulls. Yeah, man, we had like a litter of 20. And I'm just, you know, selling to, you know, to, of course, rightful owners and stuff like that. But yeah, just that bug to just, you know, selling to, you know, of course, rightful owners and stuff like that.
