Welcome to “The Elements of Being” podcast, where I dissect and explore the minds and habits of filmmakers, writers, and industry icons. Essentially, we learn what makes them flip the switch to achieve great feats, goals, and milestones and a chance to geek out over the psychology behind human behavior.

Today, I explore how John Brand, a finance guru, left a demanding career in the corporate world after 15 years and started the quickly expanding Open Outcry Brewery in Chicago. Despite his physical and emotional investment, he pivoted his career in ways people only dream of. In this episode, you'll hear about what led to this transition and how John strategically approached it. You'll also get an inside look into how John uses fear of failure to motivate himself, how he methodically approaches life and work, how he defines the business recipe for success and how you can pursue the life you want to. You can also read the article 9 Questions About Transitioning into a New Career After 15 Years from Entrepreneur John Brand.
