The podcast for people who f**king love packaging, and for those that are about to fall in love with the career. Each episode I sit down with people from across the packaging industry — engineers, brand folks, graphic designers, and suppliers — to talk about how they got hooked on packaging… and why they stayed. We talk about the projects they’re proud of, the ones that nearly broke them, and the compromises they fought for. This isn’t corporate speak. This isn’t polished marketing fluff. This is honest conversation about why packaging matters way more than most people realize.2026 AJ Piejko-Brown Career Success Economics
