BRANDIDOS is the podcast for everyone who creates their brand from the ground up with sweat, courage, and heart. This isn’t about quick success, but about truly sticking with it: underdogs who refuse to be knocked down. In every episode, we celebrate the makers who work on their visions 24/7 and never take the easy way.
Our Manifesto
New BRANDIDO – another story of courage, brand, and makers.
In this episode of BRANDIDOS – The Voice of the Brand Makers I talk with Juan Tejeda (formerly VCG Digital Ventures, McKinsey & Company, BCG) — a builder of brands, ventures, and leadership communities.
We talk about how branding has shifted from “one message for many” to a world without mainstream — where people buy (or cancel) brands based on values, trust, and experiences — and what that means for strategy, design, and leadership.
We also dive into Juan’s new project Leadership Club : a learning hub for product leaders with a unique discussion format where anyone can become part of the panel — turning passive listening into real exchange.
