With more than 15 years of experience, he built his career around one core belief: great salespeople aren’t born — they are developed through mindset, mentorship, resilience, and real-world experience. What makes Brian’s perspective different is his focus on the foundational challenges new sales professionals actually face in their first 18 months — confidence, rejection, identity shift, communication, consistency, and learning how to grow. In this practical conversation, Bryan shares: • Lessons from being a university athlete that shaped his approach to sales • The common misconceptions people have about sales • Why most sales books skip the hardest part: the first 18 months • How to handle hearing “no” 50 times a day • The mindset shift required to keep showing up with confidence • How learning to handle rejection changed him personally If you’re in your 20s considering a career in sales, struggling with rejection, or wanting real talk on confidence and personal growth, this episode delivers grounded, no-fluff insight.
