Media Biography for Brandon Bishop
Brandon Bishop is a disruptor, visionary, and the founder of TrueEQ, a movement redefining human connection in a world obsessed with status and superficiality. Drawing from a lifetime of navigating toxic relationships, emotional isolation, and institutional power struggles, he built TrueEQ to elevate emotional intelligence as the cornerstone of personal growth, corporate culture, and social change. “We’re not here to play power games or feed egos,” he says. “We’re here to tear those systems down and rebuild connections rooted in empathy, courage, and radical authenticity.”
A former educator with a graduate degree in secondary education, Brandon knows firsthand how grit and self-reinvention can rewrite life’s script. Raised in an emotionally barren home, he masked instability with perfectionism until a crisis of belonging led him to reject rigid ideologies—religious, corporate, and social—that prioritize control over compassion. “True freedom begins when you stop outsourcing your worth to institutions,” he reflects. “It’s messy, but it’s how we reclaim our humanity.”
Brandon merges this unflinching philosophy with action. Through TrueEQ’s app and community, he’s creating a sanctuary for “EQ warriors”: people who value kindness over clout, collaboration over competition, and healing over hierarchy. His work challenges the algorithms of traditional social media, which he calls “ego factories,” and instead fosters spaces where vulnerability is strength and self-discovery is collective.
Outside his trailblazing work, Brandon channels his intensity into clay and creativity. A ceramic artist since his teens, he crafts tactile, imperfect pinch pots inspired by artist Paul Briggs—a metaphor, he says, for “holding space for what’s raw and real.” He’s equally passionate about social justice, using his platform to dissect white privilege and advocate for marginalized voices. “We’re all carrying trauma,” he says. “But we don’t have to pass it on. We can break the cycle.”
For Brandon, the future is about gathering the “emotionally fearless” to rewrite society’s rules. “Imagine a world where your value isn’t tied to your job title, bank account, or Instagram likes,” he says. “That’s the revolution we’re building—one healed heart at a time.”
