Welcome to The House of Braylon
One of the greatest challenges as a multi-passionate entrepreneur is giving each of my brands their own identity while keeping their identity tied to the overall Braylon Williams brand—they’re supposed to sing in harmony. But unfortunately, over the years, as I have created many different brands, I have seen them all become too individualistic too early. And having all my brands seem disconnected from the Braylon Williams brand was never my intent; however, without being intentional about keeping them tied to each other, the inevitable happened… they all became their own brand and held no apparent connection to the Braylon Williams brand.
And for over a year now, I have been thinking of ways to make the connection between all my brands (Morningstar Interiors, Enneagram Restored Podcast, The BW Printing Press, and The BW Printing Press Bookshop) and the Braylon Williams brand seem apparent and for there to be no need to investigate their connection in order to understand how they’re related. And although I’ve struggled for months to find the answer, the answer came to me while I was focusing on something else.
You see… the glow-up for the Braylon Williams brand began when I got the idea to start an Instagram Broadcast channel to stay more connected to my audience and to post direct announcements. However, because social media is a cesspool of ingenuine connections, I didn’t meet the requirements to create a broadcast channel. So, since I couldn’t create an Instagram broadcast channel due to not having enough followers, I decided to follow KevOnStage’s example and create a Discord Server.
What started out as plan b soon became plan a, and creating the Discord server was just the unexpected demo day.
Soon after I started working on the Discord server, it felt like the right move was to cosmetically renovate the entire Braylon Williams brand ecosystem… the Braylon Williams brand color palette was refreshed, the Morningstar Interiors brand color palette was reimagined, The BW Printing Press brand color palette was reinvented, and the Enneagram Restored Podcast brand color palette was reprised, and the new logo set for Braylon Williams was renovated to now include a house in the primary logo.
Why is there a house in my new logo?
The idea for the house actually came from creating the Discord server because, as you may know, I always have to have some clever name for things. So, once I got the idea to name the Discord Server The House of Braylon, I knew each channel would be like each room in the White House—uniquely decorated but connected to the entire story of the White House. As I added more and more channels to the newly created Discord Server, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this new turn of phrase—The House of Braylon—was meant to be more than just a name for the server. Thus, I decided that I would reframe [rephrase] my full creative ecosystem. No longer would it be Braylon Williams split into its children brands, but now The House of Braylon is home to all my brands with each brand having their room to live and breathe in.
Simply by creating a Discord server and reframing how I speak about my brand, the thing that I had always strived for—all my brands to sing in harmony and their relation be apparent—has now finally come true.
Now that you know the new nickname for my brand is The House of Braylon, allow me to tell you this full, official story of the unfolding… from an idea to a living being.
It wasn’t long after I decided to reframe my creative ecosystem that I felt like just rephrasing the brand wasn’t going to be enough; I needed to redesign my brand’s color palette. Now, redesigning the Braylon Williams brand color palette was not on my 2025 bingo card, but it just felt like the right thing to do. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the Braylon Williams brand was going to be elevated even more—but I should have known it would be… I can never do anything just half-way. As I was redesigning the Braylon Williams brand color palette, I thought it would be best to also redesign my logo and fonts. And before I knew it, the Braylon Williams brand was elevated to a new luxury, art deco, boutique styled brand with a vintage feel.
But it just wasn’t the Braylon Williams brand color palette that got a redesign, the Morningstar Interiors and The BW Printing Press brand color palettes were also reimagined and reinvented.
Although three out of my four brands got an updated brand color palette, Enneagram Restored Podcast’s brand color palette was the only palette that was reprised—well, I guess you can say it was updated too because although the colors are the same, they each now have a new name.
As you can see, what started out as some cosmetic updates turned into a full on renovation that will usher in a new beginning for not only the Braylon Williams brand as a whole, but also will be a new beginning for Morningstar Interiors, Enneagram Restored Podcast, The BW Printing Press, The BW Printing Press Bookshop, and any future brands that will call The House of Braylon home.
Now that you know the story of how The House of Braylon came into existence and how the Braylon Williams brand(s) have evolved over the past few months, it’s time to take a house tour.
The House of Braylon Discord Server hasn’t officially been opened to guests yet, but I’m going to give you a private, first-access house tour. So, let’s head inside…
Before we start the tour, I want to say that this isn’t just a server… it’s a home… some might even say that it’s a legacy. This is a space with many rooms, and each room was designed with intention. Now, I didn’t point this out before we stepped inside, but you may have noticed on your way in… The House of Braylon Visitor Center is located just across the front lawn. The visitor center is the place [forum] to ask questions, get oriented, or drop a note for the staff who will respond soon.
Now, we are currently standing in the Entrance Hall. This is the place where every guest is welcomed, and it is also the perfect place to get acquainted with the House. Here you can find the house rules, see a map of the house, sign the guest book, and get off the record updates.
As we continue down the Entrance Hall, you will see that the house splits into two wings. To my right—your left—is the West Wing. We won’t walk down the West Wing today, but it is home to the press room and the cabinet members’ offices. And, to my left, you will see the East Wing.
The East Wing is where all the fun happens—it’s the place where community, connection, and celebration live. Let’s take a step into the East Wing… I’ll explain each room and then you will have the opportunity to explore each room a little bit before we continue our tour. At the end of the hall just past the French glass doors is the Ballroom [stage] where live conversations, performances, celebrations, and special talks happen. To my left—your right—there is the East Room and the Toast Room. The East Room is essentially where all event details live, and the Toast Room, which leads into the Ballroom, is where everyone is welcomed to celebrate each other. Now, to my right, you can see on the wall that there is an electronic house calendar and the Blue Room. The Blue Room is the place to hang out and just socialize.
Alright, now that you know about each room, take a few moments to explore them for yourselves. Once everyone has had the opportunity to explore the rooms, we will regroup at the end of the hall to continue the tour.
…
Okay, everybody, let’s regroup at the end of the wing.
Now, that we’re all back together, let’s continue the tour. Follow me so you can see just past the stairs just a little… as you can see just past the staircase, is the lower-level entry to The House of Braylon Library. We will step into the library, but we’re going to take the more scenic route and take the stairs and enter through the second level entryway so you can experience the grandeur of the staircase.
As you step inside, you can see the Library is very expansive—I’m a huge fan of books.
Here, in the library, you will find a small section of my recommended reads and there is even a quote wall for anyone to drop some moving and inspirational words of wisdom.
Alright, now follow me, and we will end our tour in the Lilac Garden. The name Lilac Garden hails from the fact that lilacs are my favorite flower. As you can see, there are many great places in this house, and it’s hard to pick a favorite. However, if I absolutely had to pick a favorite the Library would be my first favorite, and this garden would be a close second. As someone who is always ready for the next thing, sitting in nature helps me slow down and refocus. And this garden does just that because it’s the perfect place to slow down, reflect, and grow—it’s a place for gratitude and soul work. Here in the Garden, there’s a smaller garden called the Gratitude Garden which is the perfect place to share what you’re thankful for, big or small. There’s also a decent-sized garden shed for you to step into and write a growth note—personal breakthroughs and lessons. And my favorite spot in the Garden are the Morning Mindset benches. These benches are situated just right… in the morning time, if you sit on one of these benches you will experience nature at its finest—it’s almost like you’re sitting in the epicenter of nature… the smell of the dew, the sunlight, the birds singing, the little critters coming out for breakfast… it’s truly the best thing.
Well… that concludes the tour. Feel free to stay in the Garden for a while or if you must go, just follow the stone path to your right out to the parking lot.
