    So many great ideas for my family!
    I love this podcast because it helps me come up with ideas to strengthen my family relationships! I’m a grandma and don’t have children at home anymore, but I find inspiration here for keeping my children and grandchildren close and developing a strong identity.

    Let’s Build Strong Families!
    Just as they say, Strong Families can change the world! Melissa and Chris do a wonderful job teaching us how to achieve deeper relationships, intentionally in our family life, and how to become the people we are meant to be. I love the range of topics they cover- give them a listen and let’s get to work!
  • Nick Reiland

    Family strength
    These podcasts are amazing. I gain something to build family relations on every one. I’m 58 raised my kids and still enjoy the tips and use them with my own grown kids and my grandchildren. The Smiths are just raw honesty with upbeat vibes. Great information shared for any family any age
  • TLHoopes
    Fantastic Podcast!
    I’m a podcast listener but have never left a review. The family brand podcast is my current favorite and definitely deserves 5 stars! I love the variety of worthwhile topics for strengthening families. Each episode has great info and real life applications that motivate me to want to do better and be better. I look forward to continuing to learn from the Smiths!

    Walk Their Talk
    After only a couple of episodes, it’s easy to tell that Chris & Melissa are going all in on Family Brand and sharing their family’s “experiment” with the world to impact and serve others. I love their down to earth and real approach, unlike others out there where you only get the FB version of the “perfect family”. Chris and Melissa aren’t afraid to share their struggles and how they overcame them, I truly appreciate the rawness of their conversations. As an aside, I’ve been fortunate to get to know Chris personally through business and masterminds we’ve both been a part of and The Campfire Effect works. I’ve seen his to framework impact business after business, so I’m truly excited to see it applied to what I believe is the most important “business” we all have, our families.

    Very Inspiring
    I’ve just found this podcast and feel very inspired to implement some of these ideas and insights into my own family. Thank you and keep the great content coming. Melissa
  • jessbruce55
    So grateful
    We have a great family but felt we really needed this direction/blue print. I love the motivation to focus on our family! Thank you! Such a blessing to our family!
  • Madmeg24
    Mind. Blown.
    Every episode of this podcast (and I have listened to the whole thing) has helped me clarify my role as a caregiver and partner. I absolutely feel better prepared as a mother after internalizing the messages Melissa and Chris share each week. Some of the highlights that have changed our family: high challenge/high support matrix, weekly check ins, making values based decisions, and fighting for a family that elevates everyone around them. Love, love, love.
  • JanaleeB
    Real, raw, and rewarding!
    I have had the privilege of meeting Chris and Melissa! They are the real deal! We’re starting their course and can’t wait to see the transformation in our family and our time! We’re blessed to know them, blessed to learn beside them, and blessed to move forward as a strong family! I love telling everyone about the Smith family and Family Brand! Keep strengthening families! Much love❤️

    Changing
    I started listening on Sunday. I felt inspired to be more intentional with my mornings. I have to get up early for work, but instead of using my phone to wake up, today I decided to do some spiritual reading and exercise. I feel great! Thanks Chris and Melissa!
  • Amanda Callister
    Life-Changing
    My husband and I have listened to this podcast since the beginning and have experienced so many positive changes in our marriage, thanks to the discussions we have with each other after listening to these episodes. As we are about to have our first baby, we have expanded those discussions to include our future children, which makes us more and more excited to finally be parents! I highly recommend this podcast for any family and marriage, whether you feel like it’s struggling or not. There are so many life-changing lessons that Chris and Melissa have to share, and anyone can benefit from them! 💛

    Practical marriage and family advice for any and everyone!
    As a licensed mental health practitioner, I am always looking for more tools to help and support my clients. I recommend this podcast, without reservation. Solid advice!!
  • sj 1000
    Valuable and inspiring podcast! Worth the time!
    I have been hooked! Chris and Melissa are truly inspired. I’m able to take valuable pieces from each podcast and apply them to strengthen my own family and have seen positive results. I’m so thankful I’ve been able to tune in and start this journey with them. It has had me reflect on my own self as an individual… what is my calling… how can I build the kingdom…how can I strengthen my marriage… how can I use my words to create who my children are…how to unify and connect my family and so much more. Familybrand is worth the time for everyone!💕
  • McKenzie Hancock
    Such a wholesome, inspirational, entertaining podcast
    My friend shared an episode of this podcast with me and I have been hooked ever since. Chris and Melissa share such good, actionable advice but do it in a way that keeps the podcast entertaining and fun to listen to. I leave every episode inspired to work on my family with the advice given.
  • BravenGrant
    AN ACTUALLY GOOD MARRIAGE PODCAST
    I have been looking for a good marriage/family podcast for YEARS now. I have always felt they were either cringy, not actionable, annoying, or just all over the place. Every episode from family brand will leave you inspired and with tangible advice to improve. It also produces some incredible conversations with your spouse if you both listen.
  • charlotteparrish

    Fav podcast
    I started and caught up on this podcast in less than 2 weeks. I found myself sending episodes to friends and family almost daily. I have a hard time getting into podcasts and sticking through each episode. But this one I couldn’t stop listening and learning. I now look forward to these each week. Definitely my favorite podcast I’ve found! Thanks Chris and Melissa!
  • Fel6
    Appreciate your approach
    Thank you so much! I'm new to following you. I've thoroughly enjoyed both your podcast episodes. I'm definitely interested in the family brand/mission statement. My husband and I did this when we were first married. However, it stayed on our wall for 15 years and we're just now excited to involve the kids and make them a part of this family brand. Thx so much for strengthening families throughout the world.

    We just listened to podcast 17–and we agree that families and marriages are worth fighting for. Thank you for sharing what you have learned and taking a stand for strong families. The family is of God, and we are forever grateful for your faith and willingness to put your family first and to help others do the same!

    Do You Want Your Last Name to Stand for Something?
    Many entrepreneurs listen to business podcasts while working day and night to hone their brand image. Despite this commitment, few entrepreneurs bring that same level of focus or attention to their family’s brand. As the hosts of “Family Brand” say, “Every family has a brand. You’re either consciously and intentionally defining it, or you’re not.” This FANTASTIC show offers creative ideas for building your family brand in a way that is fun, impactful, and involves the entire family. You don’t need to be an entrepreneur to find value in this show but if you are, you’ll surely resonate with the clear process and system for exploring your family story and then making it part of your daily routine/habit. If you’re looking to create more connection with your kids and establish a family name that you and your children can be proud of (a “last name that stands for something” in the words of co-host Chris Smith) than you must check out this show. While you’re here, hit “subscribe” so you don’t miss a single episode!

    Incredible podcast! Chris and Melissa are so authentic and full of knowledge. They don’t try to hide the ugly details of their lives and they inspire you to embrace them! There are a lot of things that are easy to forget to be grateful for and the episodes are great reminders. Being present, positive and grateful are things that need constant work. I recommend this as one of the avenues to help people grow and work on themselves and their family. Well done Chris and Melissa!

    Taking back my family!
    I have loved listening to the 6 episodes so far. All of this resonates directly to my soul! The suggestions that Chris and Melissa have given in the podcasts are what I’ve dreamed of for my family. I can be intentional ,through the trials, to create the family I was meant to have. Thank you so much Chris and Melissa. You have given me a breath of hope to strive for what I know is possible. We will be a better connected family in 2021!!❤️

    The inspiration I needed
    Our family has been through a pretty big transition that has had us just surviving each day. As the year is coming to an end and things are settling in, I told my husband that I’m ready to start thriving again as a family. I just binged listen to the family brand podcast and it is exactly the inspiration I needed. Chris and Melissa share beautiful insight and tools. I’m hopeful and optimistic for the future of my family.

    The most important stand you can take - your Family Brand!
    Family Brand is one of the best and most important ideas we can focus on during these challenging times. It all starts with our sense of ourselves as seen in the context of family - hugely powerful. I can’t say enough good things about this couple and their family. I just wish they’d been doing Family Brand when my kids were little. This will change the course of the family dynamic in our world today! I know this podcast will move mountains and help re-establish the core of what makes towns and cities and countries great - it all comes back to family, who we are, and what we stand for. Congratulations Chris and Melissa!! Love you guys and love Family Brand! Thank you for creating this!

    Strong Families For The Win!
    I love a good podcast to help build strong families. I have found that here with Family Brand. They are fun to listen to and I walk away feeling inspired to refocus on the things and people that matter most in life.
  • Baumes Family
    For every family
    Chris and melissa have inspired me to take time to slow down this holiday season and really think about what’s important for my family. To not only think about what’s important to me in creating happiness and joy but to ask my husband and my girls as well so we can really focus on what’s important to us in 2021. I’d highly recommend listening to this one!
  • Jake Larsen 7
    Highly Recommend!
    I'm excited that our friends Chris Smith
  • Jon Vroman
    Been waiting for this
    Chris was a guest for our private group (Front Row Dads) and he blew everyone away. The stories, questions, and concepts were both novel in their delivery and rooted in deep truth. No question that the effect created was both immediate, and for me, has continued to shift my thinking. I find myself quoting Chris — that’s always a good sign :) Great show Smith family. Honored to know you. You’ve helped the Vroman take back our family.
