FLY BROTHER Radio #004: Expat Entrepreneur Brandon Collier

On this episode of the Fly Brother Radio Show, Ernest speaks with Brandon Collier, American startup entrepreneur, strategic alliances professional, and overall cool brother living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Working in the corporate sector for over eight years, he established and managed critical partnerships throughout the Americas in industries such as engineering and construction, oil and gas, telecommunications, finance, retail, IT, government, and healthcare. This wide variety of roles put him in a unique position to travel all over North and South America. That’s when Brandon fell in love with Brazil and decided to move there full-time and work for himself. 

He had a rough time getting started in his beloved Brazil, but he made it work. Considering that the journey is the destination, Brandon is on a journey to continue cultivating his passion for music, gastronomy, travel, social and community action, and now disruptive innovation via his startup, Entrusters, a peer-to-peer shopping platform. 

Throughout this episode, Brandon walks Ernest through his life story from summers in Miami to his first big international trip to Europe when he was just in middle school. They discuss language learning tips, starting over, and starting a business overseas, plus a whole lot more.
