BRAND.
A slow, chapter-length rendering of the Brand category from The Journey - A brand is what people say about you when the room goes quiet.
Brand is trust made visible. It is the sentence people use to describe you when you are not in the room, and whether they would defend it if you were. Most founders do not have a brand problem. They have a sentence problem. The work of this chapter is finding the sentence.
