Ep. 13 | Jared Brandon on Selling His Business, Guitars, & Getting His Dream Job

Jared has been an "acquaintance" of mine for years. I used to run sales, marketing, artist relations, & product dev for a pickup company which put me in direct competition with Jared's prior business Brandonwound Pickups. While working in Indiana I met him on accident after he started working at his dream job. Jared is a veteran having served 3 years in the military before jumping out to work construction. After that he decided to take the leap & go full-time with his passion of building guitar pickups which led him to working his dream job at one of the greatest guitar brands in the world. I have an immense amount of respect for Jared & the path in life he's taken.
