Brandon’s sales career started at a young age, selling sugar mixed with Kool-aid packets to my neighborhood friends & classmates… He spent his high school years cleaning golf clubs, listening to business owners talk about their work. Deep down, he always knew that school wasn’t for him but, his mom pushed him to have a piece of paper to fall back on. He worked three jobs, pushed through college, and graduated with a degree in Finance.

He continued learning sales directly through Norwest Financial. There, he learned two major lessons: 1.) Accountability and direct sales were something that came naturally. 2.) problem solving was better than offering a customer what he thought they needed. After years of telling my wife what would be possible if he went out on his own, she told him to act on it or stop talking about it… He built his first company in 2011, partnered with a mortgage bank where he was one of 12 owners.

Over the following years, he learned about podcasting and masterminds. He knew that there were so many GURUS out there & he didn’t want the marketers to have an unfair advantage over the results leaders. He didn’t want someone with their last $500 to invest in the wrong coach, mastermind, event……so he created The Mastermind Effect podcast and The Success Finder. What is The Success Finder is a community for those looking to “Level Up” by gaining education, insight, and skills to better prepare you for professional and personal success.

I loved talking to Brandon, because, like me, he is a big believer in getting a coach from a young age.
