Build Brands People Feel with David Brier
Description
In this episode of Make It Happen Mondays, John Barrows sits down with branding icon David Brier—a man known as The Brandfather, whose work has generated over $9 billion in brand value across four decades. With 320+ international awards, a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship medallion, and praise from the likes of Daymond John, Grant Cardone, and Oren Klaff, David brings both gravitas and grit to this deeply insightful conversation.
From his Brooklyn roots and obsession with typography to the powerful strategy behind Brand Intervention and his newest book, Rich Brand, Poor Brand, David shares how great branding isn’t just about looking good—it’s about thinking differently, taking risks, and telling stories that stick.
You’ll hear why personal brand is one of the few things AI can’t replicate, why playing the long game is a winning move, and how authenticity is still the most underused superpower in modern business.
If you care about standing out, earning trust, or building a brand that actually means something—this one is a must-listen.
