In addition to podcasting, Brian has extensive experience leading public relations and storytelling efforts for numerous non-profit groups and advocacy organizations, including MoveOn.org and the Center for American Progress. He has also led public relations campaigns for a range of hospitality clients including the James Beard Foundation, the MINA Group, the San Francisco Ferry Building, New Belgium Brewing, Mr. Espresso, Ramen Nagi, TETRA Hotel (Autograph Collection), and more.

Brian has worked extensively in journalism and new media, conducting hundreds of interviews throughout his career, including time spent covering food culture and personalities in the Midwest. Brian is a native of Iowa, where he studied journalism, English, and American studies.
