What's your business, and who are your customers?

I'm a High-Performance Strategist, CEO, Top Podcast Host, and former Wall Street Executive who transforms individuals and companies to maximize their potential in business and life. For over a decade, I've advised some of the world's most recognized brands—from Fortune 100 companies, investment banks, top law firms, and professional sports teams to C-level executives, billionaires, pro-NFL/MLB athletes, celebrities, and politicians from over 70 countries on six continents.

Tell us about yourself

My career began on Wall Street as an Investment Banker at Lazard Freres and then as a partner at Hedge Fund Steamboat Capital in New York. In pursuit of a deeper passion, I left Wall Street to pursue my calling as an entrepreneur and coach. Over time I developed a 360-degree business & life framework, which helped skyrocket him into becoming one of the most sought-after high-performance strategists.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Helping my clients overcome fear, shame, limiting beliefs, and anxiety. Seeing lives change!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Managing the highs and lows both financially and emotionally. Learning how to be an emotional "oak tree" and have a deeper trust in a higher power rather than worrying or trying to carry everything on your own shoulders.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Be consistent, know the "why" behind everything you do, and stay focused on what really matters.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

I also host the "The Brendan Burns Show," an Apple Top 100 Podcast for personal development, business coaching, life transformation, and high-performance growth. Hundreds of thousands have tuned in to hear my candid interviews with an eclectic guest list—from actor Matthew McConaughey to Jack Canfield and other elite coaches, executives, and self-made millionaires & billionaires.
