TACOINCIDENCE TACO STOP #5

I met up with Chris Pan at Tocaya Organica in West Hollywood, CA. He’s the founder and CEO of MyIntent.org — maker of custom bracelets and necklaces that spark meaningful conversations. Even with scores of celebrities and over 2 million people worldwide wearing these one-of-a-kind bracelets engraved with each person’s chosen word of inspiration, Chris says they’re not a jewelry company. MyIntent is a service project. A catalyst to help all of us live with more purpose and passion. I wanted to learn why he believes in the power of brand experience, what he does to create it and how it’s helped him thrive. All…over tacos. It really doesn’t get much better than this!

ABOUT TACOINCIDENCE

This is Tacoincidence — where we learn in this unconventional master class the secrets of breakthrough culture, brand experience, and human connection from the most brilliant leaders while we’re on the search for the perfect taco. I’m your host, Scott Porter, entrepreneur, brand experience strategist, and the taco-obsessed founder of Vitamin T – A Brand Experience Agency.

In my lifelong search, I’ve learned the taco experience is even more than crazy good tacos — it’s about real human connection. Tacoincidence is about discovering how visionary leaders build successful organizations with human experience at the core of their brand’s DNA. Whether it’s with granola bars, electric bikes, software, or socks. I wanted to learn why these leaders believe in the power of relationship-based brand experience, what they do to create it, and how it’s helped them thrive. All…over tacos.
