Welcome to The Studeo Podcast, a show for ambitious creatives who want to level up their creativity, productivity, and leadership skills. A series of live conversations I host on a weekly basis, inviting a range of creative leaders and other interesting speakers to talk about topics such as design, branding, brand strategy, mindset, and meta-skills. Sharing tested strategies and actionable real-world advice that have helped me and others in the creative industry to solve bigger problems, earn more respect and higher paychecks, and ultimately, become better creatives.
S03E10 – Best of Episode – James Martin, Michael Janda, Stef Hamerlinck, Gianluca Cinquepalmi, Melinda Livsey, Thierry Brunfaut
In this last episode of Season 3, I wanted to thank you all for tuning in and to do a 'Best of' episode. For those who might be new to the podcast, this would be a good way to introduce you to some of the earlier guests you might have missed.
Following this episode, there will be a break, during which I will be reviewing the ongoing strategic direction for it. I'd love for you to help me decide the format for the podcast going forward.
Should I carry on with the 1hr guest episodes?
Should I do shorter episodes with more specific and actionable tips and tricks?
A Q&A format answering your questions?
All of the above? Something else?

S03E09 – Armin Vit – Building a Side Brand
Armin Vit @arminvit is the co-founder of UnderConsideration @ucllc, a graphic design firm. He's also an editor and writer for Brand New, where he reviews corporate and brand identity design work. If you are a brand designer, you likely visit this resource religiously, equally for the design inspiration and for Armin's top-notch break-downs of each brand identity design.
We chat about the journey of launching UnderConsideration as a 'side brand' and how 15 years later it serves as his main source of income. What are some technical aspects of building something new? What can Armin share about building a brand?

S03E04 – Gabriel Aguero – The Power of Networking
Gabriel Aguero from @dropmusicbranding connected with me a while back – and I loved his energy and approach right away. I quickly recognised, he's got a superpower of networking. When we were discussing Gab appearing on the show, I almost instantly knew that this would be a great topic to discuss with him!
We can all become a little bit better at networking, in order to attract new prospects, new clients, but also new opportunities. Sometimes even some unexpected life-changing events.

What is the difference between a brand, branding, and brand strategy?
Unless you work in the industry, I think it would be safe to say that you probably use those terms interchangeably. More alarming than that though, even some industry experts confuse or Frankenstein those terms together.
This was partially why both myself, Stef Hamerlinck, Rob Meyerson and Reagan McKrill have formed the Big Brand Debate. So that we can discuss topics such as these live on air, with other people able to contribute their voices.
In this episode of The Studeo Podcast, I summarise and break down the key concepts we'd discussed as well as the main takeaways.
