Before becoming one of the most successful tournament players in the world with over $11 million in live earnings , Brandon’s journey included: • A journalism degree from Northwestern • An internship at Al Jazeera in Qatar • A stint as a rapper in New Orleans • Teaching yoga and meditation • Grinding $10 online tournaments during COVID …and somehow that path led him to the biggest stages in poker. In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast , Brandon joins Art Parmann and Justin Young to talk about the mindset, preparation, and wild life journey that took him from broke artist to elite high-stakes crusher. Along the way we cover: ♠ The moment he fell in love with poker during lockdown ♠ Why meditation didn’t stop him from tilting ♠ Getting called a “cancer” at his first live cash game ♠ The discipline behind studying every single hand he’s ever questioned ♠ The reality of playing $125K and $250K tournaments ♠ Why he doesn’t coach poker (and probably never will) ♠ The mindset required to compete at the very top of the game Brandon also shares stories from Triton, the WSOP, high-stakes backing deals, and the grind required to reach the highest levels of poker. If you want to understand what it takes to become one of the most prepared players in poker, this episode is a must-watch.
