Brandon's Journey

I believe coaching is the path to mastery and I have a coach in many areas of my life.  In my personal life and business, I’ve been working with Steve Hardison, https://theultimatecoach.com.  He’s a powerful creator and has helped me more than I can put in words.  This last week I was with him in his […]

We are back from our fall trip where we visited the Maldives and Dubai.  The Maldives was stunningly beautiful, Dubai – interesting and controversial.

In June I pulled myself out of the day to day.  I needed perspective.  Things were changing, and I was at an inflection point.  For 18 years I was head down building in the real estate business.  I loved it, but I could sense I needed to step back, assess.  Initially I thought I felt […]

In terms of wealth in the US, we’re somewhere in the top 3-5%, depending on the dataset you use. Most of my friends are at similar or more elite levels.  This is my reality.  You could say, I’m living in a bubble of affluence.  I’ve worked hard to get in this bubble and I am very […]
