I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get to where I think I can go.” – Brendan Schaub “If you're worried about pleasing everybody, you're never going to get where you need to go.” – Brendan Schaub “Once you believe in yourself as much as I believe in you, the sky is the limit.” – Brendan Schaub Takeaways: Develop an unrelenting work ethic and commitment to your goals, no matter the obstacles. Don't be afraid to go against the grain and be an "outlier" or "zebra" - stay true to yourself and your values, even when it's unpopular. As a parent, focus on instilling the right mindset and work ethic in your children, rather than just giving them everything. Make them earn it. Reflect on your past failures and challenges - they can become the fuel that propels you forward if you approach them with the right mindset. Be present and savor the meaningful moments in life, especially with your family. Don't get so caught up in constantly striving that you miss out on cherishing the journey. Conclusion: In conclusion, cultivating a strong work ethic, maintaining a positive mindset, and staying authentic are vital in any role, whether as a father, entrepreneur, or athlete. Embracing challenges, taking accountability, and turning setbacks into opportunities for growth are key to achieving success. Finding purpose, staying true to one's values, and leading by example, even during difficult times, are essential for meaningful progress and resilience.

Love him or hate him, you can’t deny Brendan Schaub’s impact on comedy. Regardless if you believe his impact is for better or worse, you can’t deny he gets more online hate than other comedian. I’m all about comics helping comics and wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery, so I flew out to LA and spoke to Brendan directly about this topic and he does not disappoint. Our conversation not only addresses his controversies but also his system behind creating his own media company. What most impresses me about Brendan’s career is his business acumen and I wanted to learn all about it. We go deep on topics like: Consistency in Content Sharing: Brendan has built several successful podcasts and shares his formula for other comics to following looking to build a fan base. Balancing Life and Work: Brendan is so much about balancing comedy and family that his studio is just a few minutes from home. This is just one of the ways we discuss how has set up his life for complete balance and freedom. Dealing with Criticism: I heavily research Brendan before this interview and never really found his point of view on all the online hate, so I was sure to go deep on this topic to help other comics navigate the toxic world of social media. This is an opportunity to have an open mind and heart and you’ll be surprised what you can learn.
