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.************************************Watch Here: https://youtu.be/Bf_qO_WxrTsListen Here: https://www.theburnpodcast.com_______________________Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben’s latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693Qlogix: www.Q-logix.com/benhttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693
