The Story Behind The Brand Alchemist Course

Why this took 9 years and why I’m launching it the week I lost my mom

There’s a version of this story that sounds very “internet official”:

After 25+ years behind the camera, Taylor Boone distilled nine years of research and brand data into an 8-module course…

That’s true. But it’s not the whole story.

The real story starts at kitchen tables.

With solo entrepreneurs staring at their laptops at midnight, wondering if anyone will ever really see what they’re building.

With people whispering, “I have this idea…” and then apologizing for it a second later.

And with one woman, my mom, who never got tired of hearing me talk about how brands work and how badly I wanted to help those kitchen-table founders.

Nine Years of Quiet Obsession

For the last nine years, I’ve been obsessed with one core question:

Why do some brands cut through the noise, while others with just as much heart stay invisible?

I watched it from behind the camera for decades:
Beautiful visuals. Foggy message.
Big hearts. Little traction.

So I started tracking everything:

• What my most successful clients said in their copy and on camera

• How their offers were structured

• What actually made their audiences say “I get it—and I want it.”

• Where the brand broke down between the founder’s heart and the customer’s brain

I read hundreds of books and articles, listened to podcasts on neuroscience, psychology, and marketing, and tested frameworks with real businesses.

I filled notebooks with patterns and data.
I rewired how I thought about visuals, story, and strategy.

And slowly, a framework emerged—a way of aligning soul, science, and strategy so a brand finally feels like the truest version of the founder and actually converts.

That framework became The Brand Alchemist Course.

But there’s another layer to why I’m launching it now.

The Week I Lost My Mother

Eleven years ago this week, my mom died.

She was the one who never rolled her eyes when I went off on a rant about brand psychology or why fonts matter or how a solo entrepreneur at their kitchen table deserved the same level of strategy as a global company.

She’d listen to me talk about clients and ideas and say things like:

“You’re going to help a lot of people with this, darling. Don’t let it stay in your notebooks.”

She knew something about me that I was still growing into—that my work wasn’t just about cameras and campaigns. It was about calling.

She believed, like I do, that God doesn’t hand us dreams just to tease us.
We get them for a reason.
Most people never even try.
And I couldn’t stand watching that.

So this year, when I looked at the calendar and saw the week she died coming up again, I felt a nudge:

“Stop waiting. Launch the thing you’ve been building for nine years.”

So I chose to release The Brand Alchemist Course in the same week I lost her.

It feels like a love letter back to the woman who always believed I’d build something that helped others step into their God-given dreams.

Who I Built This For

This course is not for people who want a cute logo and a quick fix.

It’s for the solopreneur and entrepreneur:

• Sketching ideas on napkins during lunch breaks

• Daydreaming about leaving the day job

• Sitting at the kitchen table, wondering, “Am I crazy for wanting more?”

It’s for the business owner who knows they’re good at what they do, but can’t seem to explain it in a way that sticks, sells, and scales.

You don’t need more random tactics.
You need a brand foundation that finally matches your potential.

I created the course so you can go at your own pace and added live office hours to give you more 1-on-1 help from the video course.

What’s Inside The Brand Alchemist Course

Over eight modules (to watch and go at your own pace), I walk you through the exact work I’ve been doing with brands for years:

• Clarifying your core brand story so your audience instantly understands why you matter

• Defining your ideal clients in a way that goes beyond demographics into desire, fear, and decision-making

• Crafting offers and messaging rooted in psychology and neuroscience, not guesswork

• Aligning your visuals, voice, and strategy so everything you put out feels cohesive and compelling

You’re not doing this alone:

• You get a Brand Alchemist Course Workbook to map your message, offers, and visuals

• You get Live Office Hours with me, so you can ask questions, get feedback, and not wonder if you’re doing it right

If I did all of this 1:1 with you, it would easily be well over $5,000 in advisory work.

I’ve priced it at $297 as a founding rate.

Why?
Because I wanted the first round to feel like a door flung wide open for the people my mom and I always talked about: the ones sitting on the edge of their dream.

Discounted rate is available until December 14.
The course launches December 15.

If you’re reading this and feeling that little pull in your chest, that’s not random.

Maybe this is for you.
Maybe it’s for a friend, partner, or client who’s building something and needs real support, not another “motivational quote.”

Either way, my intention is simple:

I want 2026 to be the year your brand stops whispering and starts resonating.

This course is my way of putting nine years of work and my mother’s belief in me into something you can actually use to grow your business.

If You Want to Go Deeper With Me

Alongside the course, I’m shifting my newsletter to focus on:

• Brand clarity and positioning

• Storytelling and emotional connection

• The science of how people actually make buying decisions

• The mindset work it takes to keep going when you want to quit

I miss my mom every day.

But launching The Brand Alchemist Course this week feels like honoring the promise she saw long before I did:

To help people take the dreams God put in their hearts and give them a brand strong enough to carry those dreams into the world.

If you feel that nudge, I’d be honored to walk beside you.

With love and light,

Taylor
