We had the good fortune of connecting with Brandon Leake and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brandon, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
A platform where brands, businesses, and creative members can gain exposure and expand their brands to their target audience.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I start Yo! Customs 3 years ago. It started as a custom clothing brand but when I started running online ads for a car company, the love of creativity help me decide to add videography to the brand. I want my brand to help others gain exposure and expand their businesses, that’s what separates me. I’ve learned main lessons such as how to talk and deal with specific individuals, gain confidence in speaking to strangers, and develop how I present myself.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Week long trip in Las Vegas. Eat at fine restaurants, multiple activities indoor and outdoor, and unique landmarks.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
