Brandon has always loved design, music, books, and games. So much so that after years of doing what he was supposed to do, he left his corporate job at Sony and started Studio Pepwuper and co-founded 30 Day Books, working towards what he believes in – that everyone should follow their inner passion and be creative!

Here are my assumptions:
- People are most efficient when they are working on things they love.
- Independence comes from not having the freedom to blame others. True independence = 100% responsibility.
- You can learn to do anything and become anyone if you really really want it.
- Businesses can be fun, creative, lean, flexible, and profitable. All at the same time with the technology available today.
These are my assumptions, and I’ve made a decision to prove them right.
