Brandon shares his incredible transformation from working at Walmart right out of high school to becoming a beacon of personal development and leadership.

"It started in a two-bedroom apartment... I ordered a $1.50 desk and a Blue Yeti microphone. Even if you don't have an extravagant background, a clean background is better than extravagant."
"I had a mentor come into my life, and he said, 'Brandon, you've got to work on yourself before you can move up into any level of leadership.' He advised me to start with my fitness and my body. I discovered personal development and eventually wanted to help others make the same changes I made."
"I discovered my superpower when I gave a training about my journey, talking about goal setting and discipline. People came up to me afterward and were surprised by how well I could speak. That was when I realized what I loved to do."
