On this episode of the Man Versus Brand podcast, we speak with business/transformation coach, entrepreneur, and author Brian Gorman. Brian has a deep understanding of the human journey through change. Brian understands the evolution of a person. In this episode we talk Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey as well as the psychology and neuroscience of change. Coming of age during the civil rights movement, then attending college as anti-Vietnam war protests grew from whispers to claim a national voice, it is not surprising that change took root in Brian Gorman early and has never let go. For decades, he has been engaged with change at the individual, organizational, and social levels. Today, Brian works as a certified professional coach. Through his business TransformingLives.Coach, he serves clients who are facing major personal and professional transitions in their lives. He is an International Coach Federation (ICF) certified professional coach, a member of ICF-New York City, and a member of the Gay Coaches Alliance. TransformingLives.Coach is a Certified LGBT Business Enterprise. As a co-holder of the US trademark on 4-Day Work Week, Brian has long been a student of the future of work which he sees as a post-industrial version of the agrarian age.We have an awesome conversation around all parts of Brian’s work and its implications on the future.
