Exploring Life & Business with Brandon Gates of The Pull Up Experience

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brandon Gates

Hi Brandon , so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
It all started with a divorce, a pandemic, and a love of podcasting! 2021 was a pivotal time in my life towards self-discovery and going after something I always wanted to try. The Pull Experience was a mission I felt given by God to help place a positive light on the city of Cleveland and its collaborative efforts amongst entrepreneurs and give a platform to those who deserve to have their stories heard! I reached out to Markita Eddy of Beneficial Bae and we had our first networking event at Unbar and the rest is history!

With an incredible team of entrepreneurs who came together to create an impactful podcast. Nakia Hudson of 2 You Wines, Steve Jackson of Alien Eyez Photography, Brittani Knight of Beaut Tea Told, Samantha Walker of Curvy Confident Nervous, Briana Casanova of Overflow Studios, and Michelle Gates of MJM Virtual Services we have had the honor of interviewing over 200 amazing entrepreneurs, influencers, creatives and events!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has not been a smooth road and we’ve failed more times than we’ve succeeded and that’s the beautiful part of it all! With us failing and our roads not being smooth it helped us become the podcast we are today! From equipment failures, canceled guests, team members quitting, plans not going accordingly and countless mistakes we become a podcast we can be proud of.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about The Pull Up Experience ?
You should know that The Pull Up Experience is the most consistent podcast that is an exhibition of how when like-minded individuals come together they can accomplish anything.

What we do is create a community, network, and culture of collaboration for entrepreneurs, creatives, and influencers! We specialize in telling incredible stories of people’s journeys that educate, empower, and encourage others!

We are known for being collaborators who are helping bring a city together that has been known to be divided for so long!

What sets us apart from others is the fact we are more than just a podcast, we are a community, a network, or a business but we are a family that supports one another!

We want others to understand that Cleveland is a cultivating place for entrepreneurs, creatives, and influencers to thrive and that The Pull Up Experience is gonna help let the world know just that!

Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Collaboration has been and will always been essential to our success as a podcast, a brand, a community and beyond!
