MIKE & BLAINE · EPISODE 189
Brand Management “Trademark or Trust The Universe?” on Mike and Blaine
· Hosted by Mike Milan and Blaine Bertsch
Episode show notes
You’ve built a name, a logo, and a business you’re proud of—so should you trademark it all before someone else does? Or is that just lawyer bait? This week, Mike and Blaine debate whether small businesses really need to worry about brand protection, and when it makes sense to spend the money. From horror stories of stolen names to the legal equivalent of locking your keys in your own trademark, they’ll break down the pros, cons, and the affordable middle ground. If you’ve ever asked, “Is this worth protecting yet?”—this episode is your brand insurance policy.
