How to humanize your brand w/ Richard Turgeon, Creative Director & Head of Brand at AtlasFX
This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who knows their brand should feel more human but isn’t confident in how to actually make that happen.
My guest is Richard Turgeon, a creative director, writer and musician who has spent his career bringing personality and storytelling into industries that don’t always feel human, like tech and finance.
Rich and I talk about why video creates trust quickly, how showing real people reduces uncertainty in big buying decisions, and why “I need a bigger budget” is usually just fear talking. We also get into the creative habits behind Rich’s work, the simple tools teams can use to create strong content and how to use AI without losing the human element.
Tune in for practical guidance on humanizing your brand and getting started—even if being on camera scares the hell out of you.
