Brant Menswar is a critically-acclaimed author, award-winning musician and the CEO and founder of Rock Star Impact, a boutique agency that teaches people and organizations how to cultivate values-based leadership and bring organizational values to life. 

His son battled some terrifying health issues, which came completely out of nowhere rocking his world and tested his family's faith in God...at the time he was Pastoring a church he started in his living room...it's an incredible story that has touched a lot of people's lives.

In this episode Coach Chris dives deep into Brant's book Rock 'N' Roll With It: Overcoming the Challenge of Change as well as his amazing journey as a super talented singer/musician and his band Big Kettle Drum.

He's always partnering with community outreaches, using his gifts for music to bring awareness and fundraising to matters of the heart. This year Big Kettle Drum raised money for Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend's "Teen Cancer America." TCA is an organization that helps Teens with Cancer. These kids are the the forgotten kids in the realm of cancer treatment.

"Before you know it you're 40 something years old and you're going, 'I hate my life, what am I doing, why do I have this job, why am I continually getting up every day in this existence?'..."

and

"There's an epidemic going on in this country of people winging it...and winging it is great until some storm in your life rolls in that rocks you like cancer did for us...the potential for you to make horrible decisions is astronomical." -Brant Menswar
