"I've discovered that if I put myself out there, good things happen."
In this episode of Pursue Vegas, we sit down with Brandon Mills, a veteran entrepreneur and the owner of Total Promotion Company—a Las Vegas-based business that helps brands leave their mark (literally) through merchandise, apparel, and promotional products. But branding is only the beginning of Brandon’s story.
From working the oil fields of Texas to planting roots in the Vegas small business scene, Brandon’s journey is all about choosing freedom over burnout, relationships over transactions, and impact over income.
"Freedom is what I value more. I view money as a tool, a byproduct of helping people."
We talk about how Brandon navigated the pandemic by pivoting into essential services, how he built a thriving business through non-pitchy networking, and why showing up consistently (without always leading with what you do) creates real opportunity.
"Most conversations I'll have at networking events, I don't lead with what I do. I want them to ask me."
This isn’t a conversation about sales—it’s a conversation about showing up for your city, supporting others in business, and building a reputation that opens doors long after the handshake.
"Vegas is very much a connections town."
If you’re trying to grow your brand, your network, or your influence in Las Vegas without being transactional about it—this episode’s your playbook.
Key Takeaways:
- Organic networking creates lasting business—and lasting friendships.
- Freedom and purpose are more fulfilling than chasing revenue.
- Pivoting during uncertainty is a muscle every entrepreneur needs.
- Vegas thrives on genuine relationships, not cold pitches.
- Your brand should spark conversations without you even saying a word.
