Our guest today on The Burn Podcast is a seasoned professional who has spent his career in the healthcare industry, helping to shape some of the brightest minds in the Medical and Healthcare Technology space. His expertise and leadership have driven his company to remarkable success, achieving over tenfold revenue growth. Sean’s dedication to inspiring leaders and cultivating a resilient, never-say-die attitude toward achievement is truly unmatched.

During our conversation, Sean shared a personal experience from his time participating in the Ironman marathon. Although he wasn’t able to finish the race due to feeling unwell—struggling with a headache and vomiting during the event—he didn’t let that setback define him. A few days later, he made the decision to run and complete the same marathon distance that he hadn’t finished.

Sean O'Brien’s story is a powerful reminder that honoring your commitments and pushing through challenges is what ultimately leads to success.

On this episode of The Burn Podcast, we’re joined by Speaker, Performer, and Author Bo Eason. Bo began his career in the NFL as a top pick for the Houston Oilers, later continuing his journey with the San Francisco 49ers. Throughout his five-year career, he played alongside and competed against some of the greatest athletes of his generation.

Bo shares the remarkable story of his journey, starting with a vision he had at just nine years old to become an NFL player. Using a crayon, he mapped out his plan, and that blueprint became the fuel that propelled him toward achieving his dreams. He also discusses the significance of the Law of Attraction and how staying loyal to your dreams can ultimately lead to success.

A particularly memorable moment in Bo’s career came when he had the chance to play against his high school hero and tackle him during an NFL game.

In addition to his athletic career, Bo now dedicates his time to sharing his life lessons and inspirational insights with the world. His book, There’s No Plan B for Your A-Game, reflects his belief that anyone can achieve greatness. Combining practical guidance with a commitment to accountability, Bo’s book empowers individuals to become the best in their respective fields—whether as leaders, business owners, athletes, artists, partners, or parents.

In this special episode, we ignite a fiery reflection on the indelible legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—a fearless American Baptist minister, activist, and political visionary who reshaped the moral fabric of our nation. From 1955 to his untimely assassination in 1968, Dr. King stood on the front lines of justice, wielding nonviolent resistance as his weapon against the brutality of Jim Crow laws and systemic oppression.
Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech shook the very foundation of inequality, inspiring millions to believe in a future of hope and unity. But his teachings went beyond grand stages—they cut to the core of human dignity and the fight for equality. In this episode, we reflect on his timeless words and dig into an unforgettable moment: Coach Nick Saban’s poignant reference to Dr. King’s “Sweeper Speech,” a powerful reminder that greatness is found in how we approach every task, no matter how small.
This episode confronts the harsh reality of hatred that still plagues our world today. It’s a raw and urgent call to action—a reminder that love, respect, and unity start in our homes and in our hearts. Hatred is not born; it is taught. And we hold the responsibility to unteach it.
Join us as we explore the lessons of Dr. King—not just as history, but as a rallying cry to keep pushing forward. The work isn’t finished. His dream lives on, and it’s up to all of us to keep the fire burning.
