What’s more valuable in today’s world: a framed degree on the wall, or the hard-earned grit from real-world experience? We’re often taught to value the traditional path and the polished resume. But what about the wisdom gained from the factory floor, the lessons learned from a failed venture, or the expertise built one customer at a time? This is the story of the undervalued, the underestimated, and the unapologetically real.
For too long, we’ve let gatekeepers decide who gets a seat at the table. They look at a resume but don’t see the resilience behind the job gaps. They see a lack of a formal degree but ignore the Ph.D. in street smarts earned through years of hard work. In the creator world, this is even more true. We’re pressured to present a perfect, polished brand, hiding the messy, beautiful, and often difficult reality of the work that goes into building something from nothing
So, what is a PorchBrat? We are the answer to that polished perfection. A PorchBrat is a builder, a creator, and a leader who wears their real-world experience as a badge of honor. We are the ones who learned business by doing business, who built our skills in the trenches, not just in the classroom. Our philosophy is simple: your grit is your gift. Your unique story is your most powerful asset, and the struggles you’ve overcome are the source of your greatest strengths. The porch is our boardroom—a place for real talk, honest support, and strategies that actually work.
This is more than a brand; it’s a movement. So, if you’re a creator with a story to tell, a brand that values authenticity over everything, or just someone who believes in the power of real-world grit, then you’re already one of us. Welcome to PorchBrat. Pull up a chair. You belong here
