Episode 280 - Brad Stoneking - Piedmont Brand Co. "Metal band to design dad"

My guest this week is Brad Stoneking. Owner and Designer at Piedmont Brand Co.  During this episode we dive into his journey from metal band guy to design dad. Including a conversation about why pivoting to working for himself was the toughest time in his career so far. We also talk about the design job he had where the walls were crumbling around him and what he did.  Brad also shares a story about a project where he had the opportunity to brand the town that he grew up in. Pretty rad! Brad is a riot to chat with and this episode was so much fun, I know you'll dig it.  THE LINKS Piedmont Instagram: CLICK HERE Piedmont Website: CLICK HERE PRINT DESIGN RESOURCES // Free 7-day VIP Access to Print Design Academy // Print Design Academy YouTube // CLICK HERE //
