Todd Burnham breaks down a hard truth: winning and growing are not the same thing. From the Avalanche to Burnham Law to Russell Wilson, this episode dives into effort, leadership, self-awareness, and why real growth requires more than confidence and talent.

In Part 2 of Growth Mindset, Todd Burnham explores the moment where growth actually happens—the split second between your first emotional reaction and the choice you make next.

Using lessons from marriage, leadership, sports, and building Burnham Law, Todd breaks down why most people fail to grow: they react instead of reflect. Whether it's conflict in relationships, adversity in business, or criticism in life, the first thought is often defensive.

Real growth comes from recognizing that moment and choosing a better response.

Todd also discusses the realities behind public relationships like Tom Brady and Gisele, the sacrifices required to pursue greatness, and why adversity is the true training ground for leaders.

Growth mindset isn’t about thinking positive—it’s about learning how to respond when everything inside you wants to quit, blame, or react.

In this episode of Deep Bench, Todd Burnham breaks down what growth mindset actually looks like in the real world.

Using lessons from the Denver Broncos, leadership inside Burnham Law, and even the public struggles of Tom Brady and Gisele, Todd explains why growth rarely looks clean while it’s happening.

New systems take time. Culture takes time. Leadership evolves through adversity.

Todd shares why people are too quick to judge the process, why authenticity matters in building a firm and a life, and how real growth happens when you stay committed through the messy middle.

This episode is about perspective, patience, and learning to trust the process when everyone else is ready to quit.

In Part 2 of Embrace the Losses, Todd Burnham goes deeper into the mindset behind resilience, leadership, and transformation. Joined by key members of the Burnham Law team, Todd explores what it takes to build something that lasts: vision, urgency, trust, and the willingness to grow through chaos, criticism, and hard seasons.

This episode dives into the power of partnership, the traits behind real comebacks, and why the people who rise are the ones who refuse to stay stuck in the moment. Todd also shares the deeper story behind his upcoming book, The Comeback, and the six traits he’s seen in people who don’t just survive adversity—they come back stronger because of it.

This is an episode about leadership, culture, humility, and the mindset required to keep moving forward when life gets heavy.

In this episode of Deep Bench, Todd Burnham explores the mindset that separates winners from everyone else. Using lessons from the Denver Broncos and leadership decisions inside professional sports, Todd breaks down why failure, urgency, and honest self-evaluation are essential to long-term success.

Todd shares how taking inventory of weaknesses, surrounding yourself with the right people, and focusing on service helped build Burnham Law—and why “following your passion” isn’t always the right advice early in your career. If you want to build something meaningful, you have to get comfortable with losses, learn from them, and keep moving forward.

Get dialed in.
Get fired up.
Get your mind right.
