I’m not going to lie, I have been looking forward to this episode ever since I started podcasting.

While this guest may have not known he was going to be on my podcast, I did. I wrote his name down as a guest I wanted to have back as I was just getting started.

I’ve been following him since 2020, and the fact that he’s here in studio today with me, I’m just blessed for this opportunity.

There’s few people that are like him out there. In today’s world, it’s tough to find people who are, who they truly say they are, especially when you are doing as much as my guest today.

I’ve listened to a lot of his podcast episodes, read multiple of his books, and consumed almost every piece of content I think I could have including listening to his interview this morning, from a few years ago with Ed Mylett, in preparation to make this episode the best it possibly could be.

My guest today is Ben Newman.

He’s the host of The Burn Podcast, and works with Fortune 500 companies, professional athletes from all the major sports, and directly with teams like Alabama Football & Kansas State Football.
