What's Your Walkout Song?

Every episode of the Brand Intelligence Podcast begins with a deceptively simple question: If you were walking out on stage to give a keynote, what would your walkout song be? It’s a moment that instantly humanizes our guests and sets the tone for the conversation that follows. Over time, this tradition has become a listener favorite — a personality test, a mood check, and a creative warm-up all in one. In this compilation episode, we bring together the full playlist: Songs that pump guests up when nerves hit Anthems tied to personal resilience and growth Music that reflects professional chapters, cultural roots, or creative identity Unexpected emotional picks tied to family, life events, and memories And yes… even a few wonderfully embarrassing favorites Whether you’re building a personal brand, leading a team, or simply curious what fuels today’s marketing and creative minds, this episode offers a joyful, candid look at the humans behind the strategies.
