Turn Relevance Into Revenue w/Brandon Triola
Today's episode is a real treat—I [Pedro] had the pleasure of diving into the world of branding and marketing with none other than Brandon Triola, the CCO & Co-Founder of Forrest. Trust me, this conversation was a masterclass in branding, and I can't wait to share some highlights with you.
Brandon—award-winning designer, brand expert, entrepreneur, and all-around creative powerhouse—unpacked the essence of controlling perception. He opened our eyes to the power of guiding rather than being the hero of the story. Oh, and turning relevance into revenue? Yeah, he's got that down to an art.
But you know what truly resonated with me? His crystal-clear definition of marketing. It's not just ads and promotions; it's about actively listening and solving problems. He showed us how active listening is the key to cracking even the toughest marketing puzzles.
And here's the kicker: Brandon's golden question, "What do you want most?" This isn't just a simple inquiry—it's a gateway to uncovering the core of our desires, helping us cut through the noise and get straight to what truly matters.
His core message, distilled from our conversation, is a beacon of clarity in the often murky waters of marketing:
"Be the guide, not the hero. Control perception. Turn relevance into revenue. But above all, solve problems through active listening. And never forget to ask yourself, 'What do you want most?'"
Brandon Triola's insights are like a compass guiding us through the maze of branding and marketing, reminding us to always stay true to our purpose.
His brand new book is about to drop so be sure to snag it right away!
Brave Heart(ED) Men's Retreat Recap
Welcome back to another episode of The Room To Grow Podcast. Today's a special one—I'm [Pedro] taking you behind the scenes of our first-ever men's retreat in the sunny, soulful paradise of Santa Rosa Beach, FL.
Let me tell you, taking the leap to organize this retreat was a mix of nerves and excitement. It was stepping into the unknown, embracing risk, and leaning into the discomfort of growth. But you know what? It was worth every moment.
There's something magical about feeling alive while stepping into the unknown, isn't there? It was hard, absolutely, but in that challenge, there was healing. I found myself embracing the risk, not just for the sake of it, but because it was a step towards what truly mattered—towards growth, connection, and a deeper understanding of myself.
And guess what? There were some key findings from this journey that I can't wait to share with you. Because these aren't just lessons from a retreat; they're tools you can apply to your everyday life.
First up, we dove into the power of vulnerability. It's not about being weak; it's about being brave enough to show up authentically. That vulnerability? It's where connection thrives.
Then, there's the beauty of discomfort. Yep, you heard that right—discomfort isn't always the enemy. It's often the signpost to growth. Embracing discomfort with an open heart? That's where the magic happens.
But wait, there's more! We uncovered the strength in community, in standing shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow travelers on this wild journey of life. The support and camaraderie? It's a game-changer.
So, my friend, consider this your toolbox for living a BRAVE life. These findings aren't just for my retreat attendees; they're for you, right here, right now. Because bravery isn't about doing huge, audacious things every day; it's about those small, consistent steps toward what sets your soul on fire.
Thanks for joining me on this adventure, and remember, you've got all you need to live a life that's bold, authentic, and utterly brave. Until next time, keep growing, keep seeking, and keep daring greatly.

HOW TO MEASURE MEANING
On this episode, I was driving and decided to hit record. I have been wrestling with the fact that we measure everything in culture. Have you noticed this? We measure our tv's, our square footage, and even our waist size. Everything seems more concrete when we can quantify it. However, the things that matter most in life are very hard to quantify. Can you measure how much you love your spouse? Can you measure how much saddness you feel that you haven't found a spouse? Can you measure that feeling of being seen, heard, or celebrated by your friends? You see, the things that we value the most are difficult to measure. What happens if we don't find a way to reconcile this reality? That's what I will explore in today's short episode.
