Is your brand helping people—or just hustling them? The most magnetic brands aren’t built on manipulation, but on something much more real: character. They are built on trust. And building that trust starts with a simple, foundational shift in how you see yourself and your business.

In this powerful episode of Making a Masterpiece, Norbert Elnar sits down with Ryan Chute—Creative Strategist, Wizard of Ads® partner, and former manager turned brand mentor—to talk about friction, integrity, and building brands that actually people can trust.

⚠️ If your leadership still feels like a grind…
⚠️ If your marketing feels manipulative…
⚠️ If your culture causes more tension than trust…

This episode will challenge everything you think you know about branding and leadership.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ How hidden friction in your business may be repelling the very people you want to serve
✅ Why your personal story and failures matter in building brand trust
✅ The power of empathy, healing, and repentance in leadership
✅ How culture is your brand—and how to align both with integrity
✅ Why legends are built by removing friction—not adding flash
✅ How to lead with storytelling, not selling

🛠️ Your Challenge This Week:
Audit your business. Where is the friction—in your team, your messaging, or your customer journey?
Then ask: "Am I protecting people… or just trying to profit from them?"
