41: Are You Willing to Give Everything? w/ Brandon Adams

Authenticity took Brandon Adams from small-town beginnings in Iowa to television success in Hollywood. This man in black is a two-time Emmy winner, a TV Host, best-selling author, and the founder of Accelerant Media Group. Together with his wife and fellow maverick Samantha, he created Rise and Record, an event in which they help others tell their stories through video. Learn more and sign up for their October 17-19 event: https://www.riseandrecord.com/
 
But the journey wasn't easy. In 2017, while hosting (and personally funding) the show Success in Your City with his wife and collaborator Amanda, the financial strain of television production caught up with him. He lost everything. Brandon had to sell his guitar. Amanda’s car got repossessed while he was away. He had to rethink everything. But in two years, he had made it all back. Now, with a mindset that is absolutely Harder Than Life, Brandon joins Kelly to dig into the keys behind his success:
Have you read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill? Brandon shares the book that changed his life.
Brandon shares a bit of his marketing expertise: don't obsess over "going viral," just reach the right people.
External validation will never be enough. Brandon and Kelly discuss the interiority of success, and how to balance finding your inner peace with achieving big, hairy, audacious goals.

40: Every Day Means EVERY DAY w/ Brandon Burns

When Brandon Burns says he works out every day, he does not mean "most days" or "sometimes." He just gets up and DOES THE WORK every single day. That's the discipline it takes to make it as a keynote speaker, coach, and influencer at 26. Today, he joins Kelly to talk about the mentality behind his success. Highlights include:
Brandon is the right hand man of Eric Thomas. Hear how Brandon hustled for the chance to work for his hero.
Holding yourself to a high standard vs. giving yourself grace - Brandon and Kelly talk about finding a healthy balance in life.
The “both, and” mentality: Brandon started gymnastics at 15, a full decade after many children begin training. How he made up for lost ground, and what he learned through the grind, are the secrets that have made him Harder Than Life.

Adam was once described as a “lotsaholic.” Everything in his life - from his best habits to his worst decisions - is cranked up to 11.
