Episode 1 Podcast: Building a Brand with Owner Anthony Fernandez

Owner, Designer and Entrepreneur

When someone goes to start a business and says they’re going all-in on their dream, how often is there that moment of doubt? That moment of seeing your comfort zone leave your side and you launch yourself into the unknown? I would say often, and I know for Anthony Fernandez that moment came and went but he hasn’t held back.
As the debut guest of the new feature production of Sole Premise Media, “The Sole Premise Podcast”, co-hosted by Sole Premise Marketing Communications Manager Jae Pizarro and music producer and hip-hop culture aficionado Jay Blancco, there was an in-depth conversation had on the rise of the self-made Sole Premise Inventor, Founder, President, CEO, and now also host on The Sole Premise Podcast.
