Every gig is different from the next and required a unique take. Some routines are similar and even a bit repetitive, but they are all slightly different. Always assessing and adapting action is a way to never disappoint your audience and yourself. You got to “Play the Gig” to make it big.

Oops, I did it again! In 2007  I lit my face on fire a second time in New Zealand. Am I an idiot…absolutely? Why? Because I didn’t need to do it, it wasn’t necessary at all. I wanted to impress someone so badly that it took me off my game. Here is a video link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl-VW6C3tDs

Are you afraid of being embarrassed or judged? Not seen as competent or trustworthy. I’m here to put your worries at ease, because I’ve had my face on fire twice. Both times were in front of groups of people I wanted to be impressed by me. But it both times were the ultimate embarrassment. But no one cares and everyone understands that mistakes get made. This is how I lit my face on fire for the first time.

In 2000 FireGuy was being buried under a pile of promo packages. Not getting noticed and passed up required a re-think re-brand reintroduction. Promo Pile is about sticking out and piling up the profit.

FireGuy was in Australia and needed help. So he asked Australia to help and it did.

Asking for help is never easy. Like asking for directions, it means admitting we are lost, in need or help. You need help! If we pretend to ourselves that we have most of the answers we need to survive, then we won’t ask the questions that help us thrive. Asking for specific help means you know where you are and exactly what you want. Knowing gets growing going.

Brant goes back to when his brother and him regularly shared two cans of Chunky soup for lunch. Sometimes a smiling face can spoon feed you lies, leaving a bitter taste in your mouth. It’s Brother Broth and it’s what’s being served.

Getting a Guinness World Record in Fire Eating was a big achievement. It wasn’t easy and there were times when I wanted to give up. But when you see a golden moment that you know is possible, you have to go for it. But failure is sometimes a part of a success, pain a part of the pleasure. This is about a getting a golden moment and not stopping till it’s yours.

What have you got planned for today? Is it all mapped out? Is today like yesterday?

Everyday is a ticket to somewhere. Where will today take you can seem like a cliché, but is it really? In 1995 a broke FireGuy took a friend’s free bus ticket from a Montreal suburb all the way to New York City. It taught him that everyday is a ticket to somewhere, it’s a matter of how open we are to the many potential destinations.

Have things every been so good for you that you felt like you were riding on Easy Street?

FireGuy was performing every home game for the Toronto Raptors and comfortably riding on easy street. Multiple halftime shows and night club appearances was leading to a profitable career. It was cruise control for as far as the eye could see. Then all of a sudden, a wrong turn, and a playoff game mishap leads to destination crises.

Have you ever been rejected? How did it make you feel? I've been rejected thousands of times. And I continue to be rejected to this day. This is how I handle it.
