Brett Johnson is an award-winning podcast consultant and small business owner for the past 7 years since transitioning from a long career in radio. He is passionate about helping small businesses tell their story through podcasts, and he believes podcasting is a great opportunity for different voices to speak and be heard.

Born and raised in the great state of Ohio, Brett brings the swing side into view for the rest of the crew. He has an innate ability to see all sides and often plays the devil’s advocate in discussions with his co-hosts. After all, if listeners want to keep talking about a podcast episode after listening to it, the episode had an impact. And, Brett believes Common Sense Ohio has a big impact on listeners in Ohio as well as across our great nation.

Outside of his business and his participation as a co-host for Common Sense Ohio, Brett is married with 2 grown children. He and his wife, Angie, are brand new ‘empty nesters.’ He enjoys spending time with his family and doing anything outdoors from gardening to hiking and cycling. He also values non-profit work and being able to serve the community that has been an integral part of his family’s life.
