WeJ - Where Everyone's Jamming

WeJ came to me as a download to marry blockchain and generative AI to “read the room” in public places to play music people who are actually there actually want to hear, and was fortunate enough to assemble to perfect cofounding team, who challenged my premise that it should be a tech platform and helped us pivot to building a community for DJ (and producers and musicians) to leverage and learn new technologies to earn more, “work less”, play more (and harder) and to finally own their industry using blockchain and AI.

Hi, fellow human; I’m delighted you want to learn about me, what I do & why I do it.

After spending all of my 20s (& much of my 30s) waiting tables, bartending, & managing restaurants, I founded a B2B SaaS company using machine learning (ML) to help restaurants schedule & forecast labor more accurately as well as stay in compliance of labor laws. Learning to get a product to market, assemble a team, raise capital, & scale a venture was transformative – & the platform that empowered me to do this was LinkedIn.

Learning to use LinkedIn to network, gain visibility, earn media, build a personal brand & build social proof has been at the center of everything I’ve gone on to do since that first startup, from joining & serving on boards to cofounding DCRBN web3 launchpad & venture studio, joining Agora World as their first executive (CGO), being asked to serve as president of World Game Changers CIC/501c3, “Chief Connection Officer” at Coryconnects LLC community & viral growth coaching, being an EIR & 3x ‘Mentor in Excellence’ at the Founder Institute & now coming out of shadow mode with WeJ DJ, a tech powered community helping DJs power speakers in public places around the world to take back the music industry for the artists & creating superior experiences for patrons across the globe, also Loving Is, teaching computers what love is & why it matters.

I am also a senior advisor to SHIZA, VRFD, GrayCyan and various other ventures.

I love music (reggae, hip-hop, punk, afrobeats most!), animals (all, but esp. dogs), good spirits (in more ways than one), nature, startups, reading, networking, impact & travel.

I launched my weekly AI newsletter here, entitled Tech For Good: Building in Public With AI on 4/13/24 & within 36 hours it received 70,000 subscribers — I’m blown away by the reception & will do everything in my power to keep you entertained, updated, in the loop, empowered, & to discuss relevant & timely topics such as AI on the blockchain, AI ethics, decentralization, Universal Unconditional Basic Income (UBI), AGI & ways to mindfully but effectively accelerate humanity’s collective advancement.

Ask me anything about any of the above! To inquire about my 1:1 influencer coaching & discern alignment, DM or email me directly.

President

After serving on the Board of Directors at World Game Changers for some time and learning how powerful their work and team are, completely buying into the vision and initiatives, and deeply understanding how emergent technologies can help the organization further our commitments and humanitarian work, I have humbly accepted the appointment to President, and am eager to continue the incredible and much needed work this organization has been facilitating for years. 

Are we making noise or sound effects? Using our voices to highlight others can help us all set records – please highlight some amazing humans below: TOGETHER WE RISE.

This video almost seems “fake” (generated) in this post-Sora 2 era, but it’s quite real. This man is (was; RIP) Stan Lemkuil, a Guiness Word Record holder for being the World’s Loudest Man (125 decibels) as well as a master of his craft as a human sound effect generator with 300+ sounds as well as 100+ distinct voices. He was famous before passing away in 2013, so he doesn’t need any further highlights (though his talents live on, & are so cool I couldn’t help sharing here – especially in light of what I’m building at Babies Beatboxing).

But other still Living Legends in my orbit have superpowers that I am highly compelling to use my own Loud Voice to highlight, because I know how much they can help others here on LinkedIn. If you’re here to level yourself & your network up, I highly recommend checking out:

Rina (Plapler) Katz is a legitimate miracle worker, even remotely. Her energy work draws from various modalities and ancestral wisdom - & changed my life. Check our profile to learn more about her & her work.

Jan Percival brings JOY to organizations to help them achieve success like she brought to her division of Accenture for years as an executive. Her approach unlocks a ton & is unlike any other business “level-up” I’ve come across.

Markus Neukom “is stillness”. A sought after consultant & executive coach, Markus has refined his focus on helping high achievers bring stillness into their lives – & what it can effectuate is uncanny.

Papi(PJ) DiNuzzo is the torchbearer of the Think & Grow Rich / Law of Attraction. In addition to being a fiduciary wealth manager with over $1B under management, he delivers the most life changing keynotes, workshops, & his book is a MUST READ.

Aleksandar Arsovski is a brilliant engineer & visionary who’s build a system that isn’t “agents” but does what founders wish agents do. His tech will help solo-founders build, launch & scale billion dollar companies on their own. Check him & his product Sollo out to see what’s possible.

Shane Riggs is keeping humans-in-the-loop in the best way possible by training his truly worldclass VAs for hire to excel at using the newest, best, & sometimes exclusive AI tools so they can be maximally productive for their clients. The VA Group is my secret weapon, & I’ll tell you: human agents equipped with AI is a real growth hack.

Saj Shah has an app called Glide that’s gamified Joy & brings a new gamified element into the Mental Health space that has been missing & needed. I highly recommend checking him out. 

Sibel Terhaar has made kindness her life’s work – & it’s working! She also does an annual list of 100 “Most Influential Men” with many more great highlights here: https://lnkd.in/ebXe_wiS.

Brand Intervention : 33 Steps to Transform the Brand You Have into the Brand You Need

Brand Intervention, 33 Steps to Transform The Brand You Have into the Brand You Need, is the first book written for CEOs, entrepreneurs, brands, and startups that don't have time to read a book on branding.  
You and your brand are a revolution waiting to happen. This book was written to provide the tools to get your brand seen, heard, and ready to change the world written and designed by award-winning brand expert and rebranding specialist David Brier, the recipient of over 325 international awards and ranked #3 worldwide for branding by Klout.

This is why David Brier wrote and designed Brand Intervention.  

It doesn't read like any other book. It's faster.  

Inside, it doesn't look like any other book on branding. It's shows instead of tells. 

It is full-color throughout, with 290 pages of straight talk on marketing and branding for real. You find out what triggers sales, turning buyers into loyal fans.  

Taken from over 30 years of building global brands, regional brands, local brands and startups, this is a no-holds-barred, no-punches-pulled, fat-free compilation of master brander David Brier's gems. 

This may explain why Daymond John, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Broke, FUBU founder and star of ABC's Shark Tank, wrote the Foreword to this new book and why New York Times bestselling author of The 10X Rule and sales expert Grant Cardone calls Brier "a branding genius" (both Daymond and Grant are Amazon bestsellers in their own right). 

David and his work have been featured in ADWEEK, Forbes, INC, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, Communication Arts, How magazine, the New York Times and numerous blogs and podcasts.  
David is also the recipient of the Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship medallion, a rare honor amongst business leaders, presented to those who provide insights to entrepreneurs and startups for leadership, marketing, entrepreneurial innovation, and branding excellence.

I TURN IDEAS INTO BRANDS, EXITS & LEGACIES. 🚀 Slayer of the Mundane 🚀 Author of the #1 Amazon bestseller “BRAND INTERVENTION” responsible for $7B in sales

Ads burn money. A great brand prints it. 

I rebuild brands from the ground up—strategy, story, design, and architecture—so you stop fighting for attention and start commanding it.

I help growth-focused companies sharpen their identity, own their story, and build a brand that scales—without the ad waste.

After building brands for Revlon, Estee Lauder, Jim Henson, and others, I quit.

I have no time for indecision and being a layer or two away from gold.

The first billion-dollar brand I built started out with zero sales, and just a really driven founder.

His vision was about shaping an idea into an empire. It was about watching a dream soar.

It's why I love branding. 

I've done the same for a nonprofit, helping generate over $250K in 30 minutes.
Done the same with a city, I rebranded: a 500% increase in tourism in 12 months.

I have done the same for a dog food company, a cybersecurity company, a motorcycle startup, and a beauty brand, and I turned an expedition camper company into a multi-million dollar company in 24 months (during the pandemic).

Branding is like being an explorer, a detective, and a magician all at once: each day is a new adventure.

When I’m brought in to help build a company, I don’t offer a silver bullet. 

I offer a branding arsenal. Forged in the fires of countless campaigns, refined by failures, and validated by successes.

And the most crucial shift during my career? I used to tell stories. Now, I craft legacies. 

Branding is about the imprint we leave behind in the sands of time and the minds of consumers.

It's why I wrote BRAND INTERVENTION, an Amazon #1 bestseller.

That's why I wrote the follow-up, RICH BRAND POOR BRAND, How to Unleash Your David in a World of Goliaths.

It's why the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center has me as one of their speakers.

Let's jump on a discovery call https://DavidBrierCalendar.as.me/IntroductorySession

David Brier

Wall Street's still using a formula from 1952.

Brands that do the same thing are losing money.

Tomorrow, I share an insane rebrand.

One that turns Wall Street's STOP sign into the perfect strategy and foundation to START a rebellion for smarter investing.
Turning Wall Street's 70-year-old playbook into tomorrow's roadmap.

The $9B Pattern:

Wall Street's 60/40 portfolio formula (60% stocks, 40% bonds) has more signs of aging and more wrinkles than today's politicians. 

It was built in 1952. 
When Elvis was making women swoon, and retirement meant a gold watch.

Only one problem:
It's not 1952 anymore.

In 2008, stocks AND bonds crashed together.
In 2022, worst year since 1949.
In April 2025, biggest two-day drop in U.S. history.

Diversification didn't fail. It collapsed.

And yet Wall Street's kept selling the same STOP sign:
→ STOP thinking for yourself
→ STOP and follow the formula
→ STOP questioning the playbook
→ STOP expecting different results

And branding gurus keep selling similar STOP solutions, convincing companies that this is the path to growth.

My only advice: STOP the madness.

The Brutal Truth about Formulas:

Every brand clinging to "best practices" is running on autopilot.

→ Like the CEOs who tell me, "We need something like Apple does."
→ Like the marketers still using tactics from the Mad Men era.
→ Like Wall Street selling "what everyone does" instead of intelligent independence that outsmarts lazy "one size fits all" templates.

Matthew Tuttle now knows what other financial powerhouses miss:

When everyone follows the same tired formula, nobody wins.

It comes down to this:
"Wall Street has formulas. Great brands have fire."

The START sign for Your Brand:

In tomorrow's "Do This Instead" newsletter, I drop the full story (and the full video you have to watch for yourself).

How we torched a 70-year formula.
Why insights beat "cookie cutters" every time.
And the exact framework that's rewriting the rules.

Whether you're managing billions or building brands, the rule is the same:

Formulas are STOP signs.
Fire is what makes you START.

Your inbox. Tomorrow. 7 AM.

As long as you're subscribed: 
https://lnkd.in/g2zqk58P
100% free. Unsubscribe any time.

P.S. If you're following your industry's "proven formula"
That is not a strategy. That's surrender.

Replace formulas with fire.

$9bn+ in sales. Make your brand a magnet, not a money pit. I build brands that customers crave. If you're done wasting ad dollars, let's talk.
