Dr. Naddy's Business, Biceps, and BS Show Notes
Leading the Brotherhood: Brian Warren on Building Culture That Scales- Episode 20
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Business,Biceps & BS, Tim Naddy sits down with fellow SigEp brother Brian Warren, CEO of Sigma Phi Epsilon, to unpack the modern evolution of fraternity life — and why mentorship, development, and belonging are more critical than ever for young men.
Brian shares his journey growing up in a single-parent household, discovering mentorship through SigEp at the University of Virginia, and dedicating his career to transforming fraternity culture. Together, Tim and Brian discuss the Balanced Man Program, leadership development, corporate lessons from brotherhood, the state of young men in America, and how intentional mentorship shapes not just careers — but husbands, fathers, and community leaders.
This episode bridges college leadership with corporate leadership and explores how organizations can foster belonging, resilience, and excellence in a disconnected world.
