My friend Tom Guarriello joins me to unpack a deceptively simple question—why do some things matter more than others?
How is it that “brands” are rarely just products.
Tom describes how they’re meaning-machines: coffee cups, clothes, grocery aisles, and the everyday objects we carry through life are the things that quietly scaffold identity, aspiration, and sense of belonging.
Choice arrives instantly; explanation comes later.
Tom’s “meaning stack” helps us understand the rise of culture brands those brands that don’t just sell products, but stage worlds: concerts, exhibitions, lifestyles, and point-of-view.
Tom's new book gets into all of this and more. Check out his "The Meaning of Branded Objects".
