Brand Building Podcast
The Brand Building Podcast is for founders and operators who want to understand what it actually takes to build and grow an ecommerce brand.
I’m Mark Milutin, founder of Bread Loaf. After nearly 2 decades working alongside brands, I’ve learned that growth rarely comes from one great ad or one new tool. It comes from understanding your customers, building systems that keep them coming back, and making better decisions as the market changes.
On the show, I sit down with founders and industry leaders to unpack how brands are built. I also share what we’re seeing firsthand across retention, paid media, creative, Shopify, and AI: what’s working, what’s changing, and where brands are leaving money on the table.
Expect honest founder stories, practical breakdowns, and ideas you can take back to your own business. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the conversations and video episodes on YouTube.
