Brendon Burchard shares the raw, vulnerable moment that changed everything: seeing the woman he loved sleeping under the weight of his unpaid bills in a tiny San Francisco apartment just miles from where this conversation was recorded. That night of reckoning sparked an 18-day writing marathon that launched his empire of bestselling books and transformed him from a broke, aspiring writer into a coach for billionaires. This isn't just another success story. It's a masterclass in shifting from survival thinking to abundance creation, revealing why most people stay stuck trying to "fill a void" instead of building something greater. You'll discover the specific mental patterns that keep you small and the breakthrough moment when fighting for someone beyond yourself becomes the catalyst for everything.
