Brandon grew up a military kid, was homeschooled, moved eight times before age 18, and learned early how to adapt, learn fast, and build relationships. That path took him from finance to tech sales, then into entrepreneurship, fueled by mentors, books, and an obsession with solving real problems. Brandon shares how Job Machine helps workforce organizations, schools, and outplacement providers place people into jobs faster, and why their big, hairy, audacious goal is simple, any American who wants a job should be able to get one.
