“If your company doesn’t know the story that it’s helping to tell, no marketing campaign is going to save you.” — Rain Bennett
Most businesses mistake their vision for a quarterly goal or a financial target, but that’s not a story anyone wants to join.
In this solo episode, Rain Bennett unpacks the critical difference between vision and mission, showing how your vision acts as the narrative North Star for your entire brand. Rain shares a clear, actionable framework based on Simon Sinek’s “Just Cause” model and explains how the best visions are resilient, inclusive, and service-oriented.
Through two powerful case studies—Patagonia and The People’s Game—Rain illustrates how a well-crafted vision can guide every part of your business, from branding to product development to internal culture.
If you’ve ever struggled to articulate why your company exists beyond just making money, this episode gives you the foundation to start telling a story that actually matters.
In this episode, you will learn to:
- Define a brand vision that is resilient, inclusive, and service-oriented
- Align your team and decisions around a single, powerful story
- Avoid the common mistakes that make most vision statements meaningless
- Use real-world case studies to guide your own storytelling strategy
- Craft a vision that inspires belief, not just activity
