B-Neal

Brandi Neal

Director of Content Creation & Marketing

A writer, editor, storyteller, and content strategist with 20 years of experience, Brandi Neal is the director of content creation and marketing and podcast writer and producer for Radical Candor. She is also a member of the board for the KMT2N Dystonia Foundation. In one of her previous jobs, she worked as a web development copywriter and a scriptwriter at L.L.Bean where she wrote and sometimes starred in product videos. Always willing to take one for the team, she went on camera for an instructional skiing video when the talent failed to show up despite the clothes not fitting her and not knowing how to ski IRL.

A former daily newspaper reporter and editor, magazine writer, travel writer, and digital journalist, she is also the editor of two literary anthologies and co-founder of the narrative magazine The Blue Room. In addition, she was a 2016 recipient of an Idyllwild Arts Fellowship for nonfiction. Brandi has a BA in journalism from the University of Toledo and an MFA in nonfiction from the University of Southern Maine’s Stonecoast Creative Writing program.

Some of the stranger things she has done include walking on fire (three times), hiking to the top of an active volcano in the middle of the night, hanging from the wing of an airplane (and letting go), and participating in an impala dung-spitting contest, which is just as gross as it sounds.

Brandi lives in Southern California with the world’s most handsome dog, Bodhisattva Mr. Declisious Face. In a movie of her life, she wants to be played by Stana Katic.

Whether telling stories for connection, safeguarding public health, or bolstering communication skills, community is at the root of her career.
