My Story

Brandon was stuck in a cycle of distraction, avoiding the discomfort of learning and doing hard things. Although repeatedly told he had potential, he lacked guidance to reach his full potential. Life’s hardships—losing loved ones, jobs, friends, and his own identity—unexpectedly thrust him onto a difficult path that led to transformation.

He discovered the psychology of the mind, will, emotions, and motivation, learning from the vivid stories of great individuals. This journey reshaped his mentality and emotions, connecting his mind and body to achieve what once seemed impossible.

He went from failing in class to becoming a professor, and from being too fearful to speak to an award-winning storyteller and speaker, sharing his powerful story to help others exceed their potential.
