What does it take to thrive under pressure, reframe fear, and build a flourishing life beyond performance?

In this episode of the Flourishing Leaders Podcast, host Dr. Scott Parsons is joined by co-host Jason Viyar for a powerful conversation with Brandon Guyer—former Major League Baseball player, 2016 World Series competitor, and founder of Major League Mindset.

Known as “La Piñata” for his fearless approach at the plate, Brandon turned adversity into strength, leading the league in hit-by-pitch while transforming it into a competitive advantage. Today, he brings that same mental toughness and wisdom to his coaching work with athletes, teams, and leaders.

Together we explore:

• How to reframe challenges and fear into opportunities for growth.
• Why identity must be grounded in character, not performance.
• The transformative “Be, Do, Have” mindset—and how leaders in every field can apply it.
• What flourishing leadership looks like in sports, business, and everyday life.

Brandon’s story is one of resilience, grit, and heart—and his insights go far beyond baseball. Whether you’re leading in the boardroom, classroom, or locker room, this conversation will inspire you to lead with character, live with purpose, and strive to flourish.
