  How to Rebuild Your Brand for Massive Growth with Jonathan David Lewis!

  Jul 28, 202632 min

  In this episode of the Growth and Scaling Podcast, host Todd Westra sits down with Jonathan David Lewis, president of McKee Wallwork, to explore what happens when a business outgrows its original identity and has to rebuild for the next stage of growth. Jonathan shares how brand identity, culture, and leadership all work together during pivotal moments like succession, scaling, entering new markets, and modernizing a business. He also opens up about how his own company went through a major reinvention—changing nearly everything from pricing and process to product focus—and ultimately doubled both revenue and profitability in three years. The conversation goes beyond branding and marketing. It’s really about leadership, responsibility, and what it takes to guide a team through uncertainty without losing sight of the bigger story. Jonathan also talks about his upcoming book, The Rebuilders, which is designed to help leaders navigate change with character, clarity, and purpose. If you’re a founder, CEO, operator, or anyone facing a major business transition, this episode offers practical wisdom and a fresh perspective on what it means to rebuild well.
