For years, Brian has staked his claim that Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Now, he has stage time to explain why. As part of a weekend teaching series, “Christmas at the Movies,” Brian shares how Die Hard contains echoes of that original night in Bethlehem—from unideal family situations, to a hero that fights for his beloved. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Die Hard becomes a message of hope for everyone. Welcome to the party, pal. 

Die Hard is a cultural phenomenon. The one liners. The action. The relatable hero. And the debate that comes around every single year: is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Brian sits down with former Hollywood movie developer, Elizabeth Lane, to get a rare peek behind the curtain on the beloved film. Part of the team that helped move Die Hard from flailing script to action classic, Elizabeth reflects on its place in culture, the power of choosing Bruce Willis, and if the film was intended to be a Christmas classic. Yippee ki-yay, Merry Christmas! 

Fresh off six of the most intense, and important, weeks of his career, Brian sits down with coworker, Joel Firebaugh, for a conversation around the 10X Push. With nearly all of his peers winding down their careers, Brian is making the aggressive move to ramp up. Leading yourself, and others, through an intense journey that culminates in a 3-year financial commitment isn’t something to be taken lightly—but it just might be the thing that sets your life apart.

The story of Ernest Shackleton, and the loss of his ship, The Endurance, is history’s greatest survival story. After nearly a year living on a ship stuck in Antarctic ice, the hull began to crack under the pressure. Shackleton ordered his men off the boat, making camp on the ice, as they watched the Endurance sink beneath the Weddell Sea… and that’s just the beginning of the story. From managing negativity, to navigating stormy seas in a lifeboat, to a never-give-up attitude, Erneset Shackleton led his crew through a grueling 2 year ordeal, until every single man was rescued. This is the incredible true story of one of history’s most aggressive men.
