The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman

This week on The Burn Podcast we had to go back and revisit a conversation with my guy Michael Porter Jr. from the Denver Nuggets. Amid their 24' season playoff run there are so many things coming to fruition that we talked about in this conversation from Season 4 of the show.

I first met Michael when he was at the University of Missouri when I was working with the basketball team. We hit it off and stayed in contact as he battled adversity and eventually got drafted into the NBA.

We talk about some funny memories but we also break down a few critical moments when Michael was able to use some mental training tools to take his game to the next level.

Do you consider yourself "detail oriented?"

Over the years we've had many clients who either claim to be or claim NOT to be...

I will tell you that over the last 20+ years the highest achieving humans I've had the blessing to know and work with live in one of those camps... (I talk about which one in the podcast)

Having mentors and building systems for accountability in your life truly is one of the the secrets to going after all those big goals on your vision plan. In this week's episode I talk about a few of mine and share a story I've never shared before on the show about a trip that changed my life forever...

Thank YOU Ed Mylett for being the truest definition of what a friend and mentor looks like. 

On this episode of The Burn Podcast, I have the honor of having Jason Redman, a decorated Navy SEAL who's faced down some of the most intense challenges a person can go through. We're unpacking the principles of resilience, the power of the "overcome mindset," and how preparation, awareness, and action can determine how we navigate through life's most INTENSE ambushes.

I believe that the fuel to succeed BURNS within us all, and my conversation with Jason is a testament to what it looks like when someone is connected to that BURN at the deepest possible level. The experiences shared here are not just about war stories – they touch on the universal struggles that call for a RELENTLESS will to push forward.

It's time for round 3 with Colton Paulhus. He's not just the CEO of Anchored Tiny Homes, but also the mind behind The Visionaries Table Podcast, and a guy who's been crushing it both in dropping pounds and growing his business.

We're keeping it REAL in this episode, digging into what it takes to build mental toughness, stick to those high-performance habits, and why dialing in your discipline is non-negotiable. Between Colton's weight-loss wins and his quest for a billion-dollar empire, we've got a goldmine of down-to-earth advice that's going to hit right where it counts.

Join us as talk about charging through life's hurdles, snagging those wins even when things are looking grim, and why doing the hard stuff can set you free like nothing else. We're spilling all the good stuff that you're going to want to scribble down and slap on your fridge. And trust me, you're about to get seriously pumped for what's coming at you.
