Some know Shannon DeJong as a writer, performer, and artist. Some know her as a brand and naming consultant. Businesswoman. Advisor. Coach. Some just call her Shan. She’s all of those things and more, of course. She coaches others to find and live their truest self; she is obsessed with the craft of identity creation and truth-seeking — but she’s also friggin’ tired of everything having to be so…BRANDED. So, this is where she puts raw thoughts, new work, and experimental creations without needing to know what they are or whether they’re “marketable.” Thus, here she remains: UNBRANDED.

S2 Ep2: We're Back!! The Last 3 Years for Shannon, Kerri & House of Who
Shannon and Kerri decided to do a little catch up on what's been going on in their lives, art and businesses over the last 3 years.
We discuss:
- The trajectory of House of Who, Inc - Shannon's Brand Agency - growing to a 7 figure business and paying people to make art!
- Shannon's art transforming from acting to making art out of business.
- The time Shannon and Kerri tried to collaborate in Italy and it totally tanked! (And how that led Kerri to discover Human Design)
- Kerri's imperative to become a full-time ArtistCEO in her own right and perform on stage again.
And much more!
Enjoy :)

Customer Reviews
Awakening!
Refreshingly raw and honnest! Shannon is both incredibly inspiering and totally relatable. Listening to her journey has been a thouroughly enlightening experience for me – urging me to awakenend and integrate my artist self. Cant recommend enough!
It’s about what’s not talked about!
Artist CEO hits the nail on the head in our overstimulated results based rat race world, which is also full of creative souls who thrive on the soul and reaching souls of each other. The truth is we all have both qualities and desires on both ends of the spectrum. We need balance of mind, body, AND spirit! As an engineer by trade, stigmatized into robot like heroism, my artist-by-nature side has learned how creative juices are where the ideas come from and good design comes from, both day and night! All of us need to engage both and nourish both. It’s not talked about much. Or rather, the space between overlapping Venn diagram circles is small these days. But this podcast starts in that space and pushes out. It defines it and forces us to reimagine that this is THE circle and we are fooling ourselves when forcefully trying to live outside of it. We can all be better to know it’s good to be one body and spirit and mind. Thank you Shannon and Kerri for this relevant thread! My circle is energized!

super cool to see Shannon's journey, great work
