Chris Stadler
Student of Brand Leadership
“Most branding is just decoration. Brands needs process and discipline to turn internal ideas into market leadership.”
Chris focuses on the leadership part of branding…that leader and the surrounding group of the inside, that really cares about the right things…and builds that into truthful communication that differentiates the brand.
Black coffee, lean workouts, deeper meanings.
Higher purpose: be a challenging influence on those around me, so they become strong.

Mike Jones
Brand Builder
Remarkable brands require authenticity and a deep commitment to values and purpose. Mike passionately pursues these beliefs with clients as the Managing Partner at Resound – a brand agency. In recognition of the work he’s done for clients and building Resound, he was named one of Arizona’s top 35 entrepreneurs 35 and younger in 2014.
Over the last 12 years he’s built experiences for hundreds of global and local brands including some awesome ones that call Arizona home (Infusionsoft, AppointmentPlus, Shamrock Farms, and Henry+Horne, to name a few).
Marrying his passions for branding, design, and history, Mike co-founded a niche apparel brand – Taftly – that celebrates the lesser-known people and events of the United States’ political history. Apparently, their shirts are all the rage with high school history teachers.
Mike lives in very sunny Mesa, AZ with his wife and two kids. When he’s not working his ass off or hanging with his family, Mike’s usually found sipping a cup of home-roasted coffee and reading a history book (or…watching history videos on YouTube).
