Has your inner critic ever roasted you immediately after one of the best nights of your life? Cool, same here. In this solo episode, Brendan dives deep into one of the most overlooked game-changers in your life: your environment. From your friends to your way too comfortable and sad sweatpants, everything around you is influencing who you become.

Inspired by Malcolm Gladwell, a wild Joe Dispenza monastery study, and a roast battle with his own inner critic, Brendan explores:

🏠 How your space shapes your mindset more than your will power, 

🔥 The subtle chaos of comfort zones disguised as sweatpants,

🚪 How to ditch environments that don't serve you, and maybe not Living as much Más at Taco Bell,  

😂 And why your own inner critic has the roast battle timing of Jeff Ross.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
