I recently had the pleasure of diving deep into an enriching conversation with Brandon Burns, an elite athlete, viral influencer, and two-time Big 10 Championship-winning coach. Brandon shared his incredible journey from being repeatedly cut from his gymnastics team to becoming a celebrated coach for the same team. His story is a testament to resilience, dedication, and the power of authentic leadership. We explored the nuances of coaching, the importance of adapting communication styles to individual needs, and the parallels between athletic and business leadership. Brandon's insights on the significance of trust, commitment, and understanding individual motivations in coaching were particularly enlightening. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone aspiring to lead, coach, or simply make a significant impact in their field.

About Brandon:

Brandon Burns is an international keynote speaker, elite athlete, viral influencer with over 50 million views on social media, 2x B1G Ten Championship-Winning Coach; serial entrepreneur; and right-hand man to the world’s #1 motivational speaker - Dr. Eric Thomas. After experiencing various mental health battles, financial lack, and family trauma during his childhood, Brandon was able to overcome his victim mindset to succeed in school and walk-on to the men’s gymnastics team at the University of Michigan. However - his athletic dreams came to a screeching halt after being cut from the team 4 times in 5 years. After years of perseverance & self-discovery, Brandon’s journey eventually allowed him to go from “cut to coach” - becoming one of the industry’s top speakers and strategic performance coaches, as well as a successful entrepreneur.
