A lot of people think the word “brand” only applies to giant conglomerate companies like Nike and Pepsi. And that is how I was thinking of the word brand yesterday as I drove my 12-week-old twins and I up to the office supply store to buy items for my fledgling consulting company, when a 7UP truck blatantly pulled out of a grocery store parking lot in front of me and cut me off. And I thought to myself, “That is a really stupid behavior for someone with a 20-foot logo emblazoned on the side of a semi truck to engage in”.
