Bryan Maxwell Turner is a former semi-professional soccer player and owner/operator of the lifestyle brand/soccer training program, No Stress Midwest. Max, as many people call him, finished a contract for a large engineering firm, and decided that he was tired of working towards someone else’s dream. He made the decision that he would rather work 80 hours per week towards his own dream than 40 hours per week for someone else’s. We met on a train to Chicago, where Max laid out his vision for his company, and low and behold, 18 months later, he is absolutely thriving!
