About this Event

Your brand already exists.
The question is whether it’s working for you — or quietly holding you back.

Branding on Tap is a 90-minute, high-impact workshop for founders, business leaders, and creatives who are ready to sharpen their edge and lead with clarity in 2026 and beyond.

Led by John Emery, a disenchanted pastor turned entrepreneur and trusted guide to influential cultural figures and conscious capitalists, this session cuts through noise, jargon, and surface-level branding advice. John’s life work is simple but powerful: helping people grow fruit on other people’s trees.

Light appetizers and drink tickets are included, so you can settle in, connect, and engage fully in the experience.


What You’ll Experience

This is not a lecture. It’s a working session.

Using a guided worksheet filled with practical, thought-provoking prompts, you’ll explore and align the three forces that shape how modern audiences decide who they trust and follow:

  • Purpose — why your work truly exists
  • Personality — how your brand shows up in the world
  • Practices — what you consistently do that earns belief

You’ll leave with sharper language, clearer positioning, and real insight into what actually sets your brand apart — not just what you say makes it different.

Expect:

  • Fresh perspective and honest reflection
  • Real-time breakthroughs you can apply immediately
  • A renewed sense of direction and confidence in your brand



Who Should Attend
  • Founders and entrepreneurs
  • Business leaders and consultants
  • Creatives building brands with intention
  • Anyone feeling “successful but unclear” about their next move

If you’re ready to stop guessing — and start expressing your brand with clarity and confidence — this session is for you.
