If you've ever taken one of those brand archetype quizzes and thought, "Cool, I'm the Rebel," but then filed it away and never looked at it again- this post is for you.

Brand archetypes are one of the most underrated tools in psychology-backed branding. They're not just personality labels to sprinkle into your brand guide. When you understand how to use them strategically, they become a powerful sales tool that makes your marketing decisions easier, drives revenue, and helps you connect with your audience on a deeper level.

Today I'm breaking down what brand archetypes really are, why they matter for sales, and how they can shape your entire marketing strategy.

Most brands fail not because of bad design- they fail because there's no strategy underneath.

I've watched it happen countless times. A business owner invests in a beautiful website, a polished logo, a solid visual identity. Then six months later, they're struggling to connect with clients, second-guessing their messaging, and feeling like their brand isn't actually working.

The problem? They skipped the foundation.

Today I'm opening up my complete brand strategy framework- the exact system I use with therapists building premium practices, SaaS founders scaling their reach, and creative entrepreneurs going from scattered to solid. This is the framework that's helped my clients build email lists over 50K, quit their nine-to-five jobs, and create brands that actually stick.

Whether you're a business owner prepping for strategy work or a designer wanting to understand what should come before the colors and logos, this framework is your north star.

What does it really look like to be the breadwinner working from home? Jen Davis pulls back the curtain on her micro-agency model, 24-hour work week, and the systems that let her earn full-time income while being present for her kids.

In this episode, we’ve conversed about:

• The micro-agency model that lets Jen work 24 hours a week while managing 10-15 client projects
• How she structured her team with subcontractors instead of full-time employees (and why)
• The regimented weekly schedule that makes everything work: Monday call days, Thursday delivery days, and feedback due Sundays
• Her actual daily routine from 9 am-2 pm and how she switches between "business mode" and "mom mode"
• The hiring mistakes she made so you don't have to (including the red flag she now watches for in interviews)
• The tool that helps her actually disconnect (hint: it's a physical magnet)
• How she and her husband navigate their roles as breadwinner and stay-at-home dad
• Why the term "breadwinner" is complex and her relationship to all that it implies
