When I think of the luxury category, Mercedes-Benz is absolutely in that group of brands. In fact, after driving my Honda Civic for more than 250,000 miles I bought my first Mercedes in 2013 and I've been driving my C 250 with pride for more than a decade. Melody Lee and I met in 2015 when I had her former boss, the former head of BMW Uwe Ellinghaus on the podcast, who was recently tapped as the CMO at Cadillac. We've come full circle! I hope you enjoy--and steal a few pages from Melody's playbook!

Recent college grad Sean Riley noticed that his Animal House-style apartment full of dudes needed some help with hygiene. It wasn't like there wasn't enough toilet paper -- it was the fact that some (okay most) dudes needed a lot more help keeping that undercarriage clean after they did their business. Some dudes used bought baby wipes but that didn't seem to fit and that sparked the idea for a grown up hygienic product strong enough and made just for men and Dude Wipes was born.

Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of the show, I’m your host, Bryan Elliott. I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for listening and helping to make this show what it is.We’ve had a rush of new fans and followers and I couldn’t be more excited to be on this journey with you. Behind the Brand started as a side hustle because in 2008 my little start up was in trouble. I had just resigned from a big brand marketing job at one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. My dream was to open a production company with a focus on building brands thru the art of storytelling. But it was looking like the Great Recession was going to get the best of me and I didn’t know what to do. That year I read a book called Tribes written by one of my favorite authors, Seth Godin. It became a roadmap for me — and a North Star to navigate very choppy waters. Spoiler alert— I made it thru some tough times and now this show is dedicated to all of you as well as anyone who is trying to build a successful business and brand. Here’s a little mix tape I made of Seth’s Top 10 lessons — here we go! P.S. Here's another video with Seth you might like explaining everything you may not know about marketing...More?Check this out. Support the show
