UPBEAT is back July 15. A personal branding and self-development podcast for creators, entrepreneurs, and purpose-driven people who want to build something real in business or life—without losing themselves. If you’ve faced burnout, ADHD, anxiety, identity loss, or just feel off-track... and you're trying to build a brand that actually feels like you... this podcast is for you. UPBEAT isn’t just a podcast. It’s a community and a checkpoint to check in. A place to reset, refocus, and move forward with intention. Hosted by Parker Kane, viral beatboxer, speaker, and podcast host—known for his McDonald’s beatbox video and his work helping creators and leaders share their stories. Through real conversations, solo episodes, and interviews with creators, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders, UPBEAT explores voice, purpose, mental health, storytelling, healing, identity, faith, and building a brand that feels honest and human. UPBEAT stands for: YOU. PURPOSE. BELIEFS. EXPRESSION. AUTHENTICITY. TRUST. It’s a choice. To stay hopeful. To own your story. To protect your voice. To build something real and not lose yourself in the process. The world doesn’t need a louder version of you. It needs the real one.
