In this deeply moving compilation episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together three extraordinary stories that challenge everything we think we know about limits. This episode isn’t about accepting circumstances—it’s about refusing them. It’s about the line between what the world labels as facts and the truth YOU choose to live by. And it’s about what ignites greatness when YOU’RE told YOU don’t measure up.

The journey begins with Aeneas Williams, whose path to the NFL was anything but traditional. He didn’t step onto a college football field until his junior year, and even then, doubt followed him. A coach once told him he was too slow to ever make it in the league. That may have been the verdict—but Aeneas refused to let it become his reality. Through relentless work and unbreakable belief, he turned skepticism into fuel and built a Hall of Fame career. His story is a reminder that outside opinions don’t define YOUR potential—YOUR conviction does.

Next, we hear from Andrew Whitworth, a Super Bowl champion and the 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year. Known for both his dominance on the field and his leadership beyond it, “Big Whit” represents what longevity, discipline, and purpose truly look like. Over nearly 20 years in the NFL, he showed that greatness isn’t about moments—it’s about showing up, rep after rep, day after day, with intention and heart.

We close with the powerful story of Antoine Bethea, a man who was told he didn’t fit the mold. Too small. Too light. Too overlooked. On National Signing Day, he had no Division I or II offers. But Antoine didn’t wait for permission—he walked on at Howard University, trusted himself, and carved out a career that included a Super Bowl title and three Pro Bowl selections. His journey proves that when YOU silence the doubt and lean into YOUR burn, ceilings disappear.


Don’t let the world set YOUR boundaries.
YOU choose who YOU become.

In this powerful compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two deeply moving conversations that center on faith, perseverance, and the meaning we assign to adversity. First, Ben finally sits down with Inky Johnson, a conversation years in the making. Inky shares how a career-ending injury became the foundation for a life of purpose, leadership, and impact. He breaks down why behavior always precedes belief, how humility fuels true discipline, and why faith—not circumstance—is the anchor that allows you to endure life’s hardest moments. This is not a story about football; it’s about choosing to give suffering meaning and refusing to waste the lessons adversity brings.

Then, Ben is joined by mortgage-industry leader, coach, and author J. J. Mazzo, who opens up about the messy middle—imposter syndrome, financial pressure, family leadership, and faith—while unpacking the principles behind his book Perseverance Principles. J. J. shares how transparency, grace, and standards helped him rebuild during seasons of shame and uncertainty, and why leading at home is the ultimate test of character. From donating his book proceeds to charity to building a mission-driven coaching company, J. J.’s story is a reminder that perseverance isn’t just about surviving—it’s about serving, growing, and choosing light when darkness feels overwhelming. Together, these conversations deliver a clear message: when faith anchors discipline and purpose fuels action, perseverance becomes possible—no matter how heavy the moment feels.

In this special compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two powerful conversations centered on ownership, discipline, and the standards required to build a life that lasts. First, Daymond John shares his journey from Queens, New York, to becoming a global entrepreneur, branding icon, and original Shark on Shark Tank. With just $40, Daymond built FUBU, proving that resourcefulness, humility, and relentless hustle matter more than perfect conditions. He breaks down how finding your burn, adapting your pitch, rejecting ego, and staying intentional are essential to building momentum—not just in business, but in life. Daymond also reflects on fatherhood, legacy, and why becoming a lifelong learner is non-negotiable for sustained success.

Then, Ben welcomes back financial coach Hillary Seiler for a deep conversation on money, mindset, and daily standards. Drawing from her work with NFL locker rooms, NCAA programs, and corporate leaders, Hillary explains why financial freedom is never just about numbers—it’s about discipline and structure. She opens up about losing her mom at a young age, the role her father played in shaping her values, and how those experiences fueled her mission and her upcoming book, Train Your Money. Together, they tackle the fears that keep people stuck financially and outline how accountability, habits, and intentional action allow YOU to take control of YOUR money—and ultimately, YOUR life.

In this powerful compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two extraordinary stories that prove your past does not define your future—your commitment does. First, Brandon James, owner of Brandon J Roofing, shares his raw and inspiring journey from serving time in prison to becoming a multi-millionaire business owner, coach, and motivational leader. Brandon opens up about the faith, discipline, and sheer will it took to rebuild his life, and why his leadership goes far beyond sales numbers. For Brandon, success is about changing lives—starting with his team—by helping them provide for their families, elevate their standards, and believe in what’s possible when you fully commit to growth.

Then, Bo Eason, former NFL player turned speaker, performer, and author, takes us inside the power of vision and obsession with excellence. Bo shares how a dream written in crayon at nine years old became the blueprint for his NFL career, and why loyalty to your vision is non-negotiable. From competing against his childhood hero in the NFL to teaching the principles behind There’s No Plan B for Your A-Game, Bo challenges listeners to stop hedging their bets and go all-in on their calling. Together, these conversations embody the heart of The Burn—when belief meets discipline, redemption meets vision, and commitment leaves no room for excuses.

In this powerful Burn Podcast compilation, Ben Newman brings together two conversations that center on one defining theme: who you choose to be when it gets hard. First, Sean O’Brien shares his journey as a healthcare and medical technology leader who helped drive his company to more than tenfold revenue growth. But the most defining moment didn’t happen in a boardroom—it happened during an Ironman marathon. When illness forced Sean to stop mid-race, he refused to let that moment define him. Days later, he went back out and completed the same marathon distance on his own, honoring the commitment he made to himself. Sean’s story is a reminder that resilience isn’t about perfection—it’s about integrity, follow-through, and refusing to quit when excuses would be easy.

Then, Ashwin Mohan, founder of Mohan Coaching and one of the top-ranked advisors in the country, joins Ben to break down the power of discipline, standards, and consistency. Ashwin shares how the Prizefighter Day framework and the Unrequired Workout reshaped his mental and physical edge—and why elite leadership always starts with leading yourself first. The conversation takes a deeper turn as Ashwin reflects on losing a close friend at a young age, a moment that permanently shifted his perspective on time, urgency, and purpose. His message is clear: success isn’t built on occasional intensity—it’s built by doing the small things, every day, with intention. Together, these episodes challenge YOU to raise your standards, honor your commitments, and show up like today actually matters—because it does.

In this powerful compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two extraordinary stories that redefine what resilience, perspective, and intentional living truly mean.

First, Ian Bowen shares his remarkable journey of Positive Persistence after being diagnosed with a rare disease that left him paralyzed and told he would never walk again without crutches. Refusing to accept that outcome, Ian leaned into the power of imagination, belief, and daily discipline. Through his RINSE framework—Remember, Imagine, Notice, Shift, and Expect—he rebuilt not only his body but his mindset. Today, Ian is not just walking; he’s running marathons. His story is a living example that when YOU control your mindset, no diagnosis, circumstance, or setback gets to define your future.

Then, Kerrie Lee Brown, founder and publisher of RedLily® and author of My Heart, My Self, joins Ben to share her journey through leadership, storytelling, and healing. After suffering a heart attack at a young age, Kerrie was forced to confront the pace at which she was living. That moment reshaped her priorities and inspired her mission to help women slow down, find their voice, and reconnect with what truly matters. Through RedLily, she has created a powerful platform for women to share stories of resilience, growth, and transformation.

Together, these conversations ask a profound question: Are you pushing with purpose, or running so fast you’ve lost sight of what matters? This episode is an invitation to persist with belief, pause with intention, and choose a life built on strength, balance, and meaning.

In this powerful two-episode compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with two dynamic leaders whose stories prove that adversity can become your greatest advantage when you choose to rise from it.

First, Nate Green shares the lessons that shaped him into an award-winning CEO, best-selling author, and leadership performance coach. From overcoming a career-threatening health crisis at just 23 to building an eight-figure business and landing on the Inc. 5000 list four years in a row, Nate’s story embodies resilience and relentless growth. He breaks down the principles behind his book Suck Less, Do Better and the frameworks he teaches through programs like Built Unstoppable—all designed to push individuals toward decisive action, personal transformation, and unlocking the potential they already have within.

Then, Stephen Rhodes, CEO of Signify Wealth and author of Make Your Money Matter, joins Ben to discuss the mindset that drove him from humble beginnings to becoming a trusted financial advisor to families, businesses, and professional athletes. Stephen reveals the “never again” moment that fueled his tireless work ethic, the passion that helps others see their own value more clearly, and why legacy isn’t something you leave behind—it’s something you live daily. From prioritizing family to redefining impact, Stephen challenges us to make our lives, our money, and our leadership truly matter.

Together, these conversations highlight what The Burn is all about: turning passion into purpose, adversity into fuel, and today’s decisions into tomorrow’s legacy. This episode is for anyone ready to elevate their leadership, deepen their impact, and live unstoppable.

In this special compilation episode of The Burn Podcast, we revisit two incredible conversations with women who are redefining what it means to lead, grow, and attack life with purpose.

First, Judy Selby—award-winning attorney, certified coach, and author of the bestseller The Untold Secrets to Thrive as a Lawyer—shares the mindset and habits behind her evolution from one of the nation’s top cyber attorneys to a coach helping professionals elevate their performance. She breaks down why soft skills matter more than ever, how to protect YOURSELF in today’s digital world, and the small daily disciplines that separate those who merely survive from those who THRIVE.

Then, we reconnect with Shayla Gifford, a powerhouse sales leader, coach, and entrepreneur who has helped countless loan officers become self-made rainmakers. Shayla opens up about discovering her “burn,” the discipline required to chase meaningful goals, and the deep impact great coaches can have in uncovering potential people don’t yet see in themselves. Her message is simple and powerful: when YOU lead with authenticity and heart, YOU create opportunities not just for yourself—but for everyone around you.

This episode is packed with clarity, conviction, and lessons YOU can apply immediately to become the biggest, strongest version of yourself.

In this inspiring compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two incredible stories of drive, purpose, and the relentless pursuit of growth — one from the world of wellness, the other from the hardwood.

First, Lexi Johnson, founder of Lexi J Wellness, shares how she turned a global shutdown into an opportunity to serve others. What started as workouts in her unfinished basement during the pandemic became a thriving community that empowers thousands of women to take control of their health and mindset. Lexi opens up about the powerful letter she wrote to her father that changed his life — and how that moment became the heartbeat of her mission. From small-town roots to nationwide impact, her story is proof that when your burn comes from a place of love and purpose, there’s no limit to what you can build.

Then, Drew Hanlen, one of the most respected basketball trainers in the game, joins Ben to talk about mastering the mental side of success. Having coached NBA stars like Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, and Bradley Beal, Drew reveals what separates the good from the great — a commitment to the unrequired work that others avoid. He also shares lessons from his book Stop Bullshitting Yourself, a wake-up call to anyone standing in their own way. Through his words, Drew reminds us that greatness isn’t about talent — it’s about consistency, accountability, and a refusal to settle.

Together, Lexi and Drew embody what The Burn is all about — the inner fire that fuels your discipline, the courage to believe before results appear, and the resilience to keep pushing when comfort calls.

In this powerful Burn Podcast compilation, Ben Newman sits down with two remarkable thought leaders — Mel Abraham and Angie Wisdom — to explore what it means to live with purpose, lead with intention, and build a legacy that lasts far beyond success.

First, Mel Abraham shares how lessons from his father and his own battle with cancer reshaped his definition of wealth. From navigating financial uncertainty during the pandemic to writing Building Your Money Machine, Mel reveals that true success isn’t about profit — it’s about presence. He reminds us that the greatest investment we can make is in the moments and people that matter most. His story is a masterclass in aligning ambition with values and leaving a legacy by living it now, not later.

Then, Angie Wisdom joins Ben for a deep conversation on mastering mindset, defining personal standards, and honoring the non-negotiables that shape how we live and lead. Drawing from her book The Non-Negotiable YOU, Angie shares how discipline, awareness, and self-leadership are the foundation of lasting growth — in business and in life. Her wisdom challenges us to stop running in place, lead ourselves first, and create alignment between our goals and who we are becoming.

Together, these conversations remind us that fulfillment isn’t found in chasing more — it’s discovered when you commit to living intentionally, with clarity, purpose, and an unshakable standard for who you choose to be every single day.

In this special compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two powerhouse conversations that define what it means to live with purpose, resilience, and unrelenting drive.

First, Bruce Cardenas takes us through his extraordinary path — from the Marines and LAPD to becoming the Chief Communications Officer at Quest Nutrition, and now a driving force behind brands like Legendary Foods. Bruce shares how his discipline, attention to detail, and relentless commitment to service opened doors he never expected. But beyond his professional success, Bruce’s story is about people — the power of building authentic relationships, leading with gratitude, and showing up for others without expectation. His journey reminds us that fulfillment doesn’t come from chasing titles but from finding ways to contribute and lift others along the way.

Then, Jason Redman, a decorated Navy SEAL, joins Ben to share his story of survival, leadership, and the “Overcome Mindset” that turned one of life’s darkest moments into his greatest source of strength. After being severely wounded in combat, Jason refused to be defined by his injuries. Instead, he built a new mission: helping others rise through their own ambushes — the unexpected challenges that test our purpose and perseverance. His story is not just about war; it’s about the fight we all face in life, and the power of preparation, awareness, and relentless belief in your mission.

Together, these conversations capture the essence of The Burn — the inner fire that pushes YOU to serve, to overcome, and to keep showing up when life demands your very best.
