Business Is Personal. So Is This.
The Philosophy of People is shaped by everything Stigma M&D stands for. We explore the intersection of marketing, development, leadership, and real life. No hype. No curated nonsense. Just honest insight and practical guidance for people who are doing the hard work of building something with integrity.
It’s not about being perfect or polished. It’s about staying honest and building systems, brands, and lives that actually work for people—starting with you.
FEATURED THEMES
- Marketing That Doesn’t Feel Gross:
Grounded tutorials and honest strategies
Simple, doable steps for building a brand that actually represents you. From website basics and social media clarity to real-life relational strategies that help you align your digital presence with your offline integrity. - Personal Development, Not Performance:
Become the same person online, at work, and in the mirror
We explore identity, burnout, motivation, and the deeper reasons we hide behind branding. This is marketing and leadership as a spiritual practice—not performative but transformative. - Team Growth & Egoless Leadership: Culture eats strategy for breakfast—and ego for lunch
Insights on building psychologically safe teams, having hard conversations, and leading without needing to be the smartest or most spiritual person in the room. We talk systems, scaffolding, and the real work of becoming trustworthy leaders. - Common Humanity & Curiosities: Stories, data, and thoughts on what connects or divides us
Whether it’s theology, AI, or how to talk about hard things without being an ass, we take a stigma-first lens to cultural conversations. Sometimes provocative, always human. - Behind the Scenes, Case Studies & Local Missoula Features: Pulling back the curtain
Real stories from real clients, lessons learned in the field, and glimpses into the life of Stigma M&D in action, from Missoula to the digital margins.
Insight You Can Use. Stories You’ll Feel. Strategies That Stick.
What You Get
We cover marketing, development, and leadership from both directions: top-down (leaders, culture, systems) and bottom-up (habits, mindset, presence). Each edition dives into something real—from website strategy or how to use AI without losing your soul, to what to do when your team is imploding, or how to build a brand that doesn’t make you feel like you’re pretending.
