Harder Than Life
39: Every Day Means EVERY DAY w/ Brandon Burns
19 SEP 2023 · 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.
