Hi This is Brad Weisman - Click Here to Send Me a Text Message I'll never forget the day I practically became a bee's best friend—or so I thought—while discovering the sweet world of Branden Moyer's beekeeping endeavors. True Story, I was scared to death of those bees. Our chat buzzes with excitement as we discuss the exquisite Buzz Brew Box, a heavenly blend of local coffee paired with Ecuadorian coffee tree honey from Uncle B's Honey Company. Imagine starting your day enveloped in the warm embrace of caramel notes paired with a zing that only Branden's craft can provide. Turning the pages to Branden's diverse entrepreneurial spirit, we venture into the making of "The Adventures of Uncle B and Ruby and the Prehistoric Buzz," a children's book brought to life by global collaboration. Meanwhile, his cleaning company, Maid to Bee Clean is scrubbing up the competition in the residential and commercial realm. We also chat about the art of genuine connection through branding, a story that unfolds beyond the logo and speaks directly to the heart of the audience. We celebrate the power of storytelling in branding. Embracing the entrepreneurial spirit, we conclude with a reminder that setbacks are merely springboards for success. Branden's infectious enthusiasm for his future ventures is the kind of buzz you won't want to miss—so join us for a dose of inspiration every Thursday at 7 pm. "Never would I have thought that Honey Bee's would be about Branden and Branding... Not even sure that makes sense. What I do know, is Branden is Bringing Honey Back, kind of like Justin Timberlake did w/ Bringing Sexy Back! His entrepreneurial mindset is infectious and something you don't want to miss on this episode." - Brad Weisman --- Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show (formerly known as Real Estate and YOU), where we dive into the world of real estate, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman! 🎙️ Join us for candid conversations, laughter, and a fresh take on the real world.
