BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Motivation with Brendon Burchard

Foreign It's Brendan Burchard. And welcome to special episode where I'm going to talk about some new changes coming to my podcast, to my YouTube channel and frankly to my life. I'm so excited to announce today that I'll be changing my podcast title from the Brendon show to just straight Motivation with Brendon Burchard. Motivation with Brendon Burchard is going to be a place where we spend a lot more time giving you access to extraordinary episodes that are much longer than we've ever had on the Brendon show. Motivation with Brendan Burchard. Going to pull out the vault of video and teaching and training that I've done for years for only private clients. Some of you know that since 2009 I have been going live, teaching online and I've always taught, you know, in depth, supporting me so much, you know, six bestselling books, three New York Times bestsellers, 500 million video views, 3 million email subscribers, over 3 million people have taken my online courses, hundred million plus downloads. It's been incredible. I used to do eight live seminars a year, packed, sold out. I kind of have done so many things in the industry. I had so many blessings. But along the way, so much of it was only for a very small few. And I thought, you know what, years later, when no one has access to some of that stuff anymore, we need to start unlocking that and let me reintroduce it and give it context to what's going on in the world. Now let me also add some new content and spend a lot more time with long form motivational teaching and training and life coaching content that just helps you find a greater level of edge. And I mean that performance edge. You know, we spend so much time talking about how to chill out, relax de stress, you know, the conversations about mindfulness, well, being, sleep, all of these things are so vital and so important and yet we also must have the conversation about allowing ourselves to drive, to have ambition, to work hard, hard, to, to go earn our dreams and be okay. This isn't a conversation about burnout. What you always see from the last 15 years of my content, it's always been about high performance which is achieving long term success in anything, whether your marriage, your relationships, your business, your career, but achieving that long term success while also caring for your well being and relationships. And you're going to see I'm going to be talking a lot about that in all of these episodes. Again, these episodes coming up, people have paid thousands of dollars for and it's Just that those vaults have been locked for years. But one thing I know about personal development, content, it's always good, you know, because you are always in a different place in your life. What resonates with you? Now, maybe it didn't resonate years ago, but I always taught in a way in which I knew I wanted to create lifelong content. I wanted to create what I call evergreen content. So when I teach, I'm very rarely talking about what's in the news or what's in fashion. I'm talking about basic, proven and sometimes ancient principles about improving our lives. The stuff about mindset and goal setting and habit tracking. The stuff about being self reliant, caring about our personal development, making self improvement a way of life. The stuff about becoming a role model, about leading others, about finding that authentic way of living that is elevated. You know, you've heard me teach about over the years, the difference between a caged life where you feel trapped in one way of being, or trapped in old expectations or trapped in other people's expectations. I've talked about the comfortable life, just kind of going through the motions and succeeding and things are going good, but there's a lack of, you know, vibrancy or pop there. And I've talked about the charged life, that high performance life, that life where there's more aliveness, more connection, more meaningful pursuits, more growth. And I'm so excited to bring new content for you in this area. And a lot of people say, well, why did you rebrand? Why not just keep calling it the Brennan Show? Well, because I'm also dropping another brand new show called Marketing with Brendan Burchard. And if you've been with me since 2009, I've had kind of two careers, right? Two sides of the coin. I've taught personal development to, you know, millions of people around the world, but I've also taught marketing. And as today, what we all know as the creator economy or the knowledge economy grew up, which really came out of that, that era of, you know, 2001 to, I would say 2010, that, that nine or 10 years I had the blessing of being the forefront and learned so much along the way. And of course, as you all know, I'm still doing this today. So here we are over 15 years where I've been doing this full time. I've taught tens of millions of creators and influencers marketing. But guess what? Most of my online courses were 2000, 5000, 10,000, $30,000 classes, courses, experiences or seminars. And like I said, with the Motivation with Brent Richard I've got this vault of all of that training over the last 15 years that no one has access to anymore because my actual paying customers, what they have access to is the last year of content. But I've got 15 years and I want to start unlocking some of that and taking it to another level. I actually think there's not a lot of great marketing podcasts out there. And when I say that, it's not diminishing of what is out there. What I feel as a creator or an influencer is I need more tactical teaching and training. Like, tell me the concepts that really work in marketing, in copywriting, in landing pages, in email marketing, in converting an offer, in improving my brand, in reaching more people, in becoming more persuasive or influential. How do you do all of that? That's going to be under Marketing with Brendan Burchard. And if you're listening to this or you're watching this video on YouTube, guess what? I also have that podcast as well as a YouTube so you can listen or watch any week that you want. With Marketing with Brendan Burchard, we're going to drop two episodes every single week. And right here on Motivation with Brendan Burchard, we're dropping three episodes. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Monday is a long form piece of content. Those are probably 45 minutes an hour or longer. That is a deep dive on a specific subject in personal development, philosophy or high performance studies. Wednesday, that's your quick, short version. That's what everyone loved about the Brendan show. Just a quick, short motivational teaching and training. But then Friday, we're going to a mashup from the vault, like just. Just taking a bunch of our training on a certain topic. For example, we might take the topic of confidence and grab everything I've taught about that for 15 years and put it together in an hour long show. That's again, Marketing with Brendon Burchard and Motivation with Brendan Burchard. They both have a podcast and they both have a YouTube channel. My I'll keep my Motivation with Brendan Burchard on my regular Brendan Burchard YouTube channel. And then we'll have a new channel on YouTube called Marketing with Brendan Burchard. Obviously, not everyone in those audiences overlap. Some people in, in the world of my personal development never wanted to hear me teach about marketing. So we've decided to keep them separate. And if you're interested in learning both, you can. For those who just want me for personal development, you got me. Motivation with Brendan Burchard. For those who just want my Marketing insights. Well, then you got me marketing with Bren Burchard. I'm really excited about it as I share this. If you happen to be on my channel, on my YouTube channel, and you're watching this video, you can see I got a new background here and a new studio that you'll be seeing me film from. Denise and I have returned to Northern California where we actually got married. So that's what a trip that is. You know, we got married in what, 2008 and then we moved to Portland, Oregon. Had an incredible decade or so there. Had an incredible few years, I think what, three, three and a half years in Puerto Rico. And now we're back to Northern California. She has family in the area. We have friends from back in the day in the area. And it's just a. It's a wonderful new time. I've got this new studio here out and I'm just. I'm just so excited. I'm so excited to film here. I've got all the things set up. I promise this will probably change as the setup because I'm figuring it out. Talk about being a creator. Fifteen years in, you think I'd figure it out? Still have not figured it out. People ask me what else is going on in my life, and mostly same thing. You know, for 15 years, I wake up every day thinking about you guys. I think about how can I help people have a little bit more aliveness and connection and meaning in their life. How can I say something or inspire something or maybe just demonstrate or be an example? But some of you know, I've also gone to a whole other level this last year. Rolling out Growth Day. As we roll out Growth Day, it has been like the biggest project of my life. Imagine this in one year. Basically we hired, you know, our team is now at 60 some people. In that year, we've rolled out the world's number one first all in one personal development platform. You think of all the things you do for personal development, right? You've got to have your mindset journal. You got to write your goals, you got to. Got to track your habits. You got to challenge yourself to get better and track that. You've got to learn from inspirational teachers and coaches, but you want to learn from the best people. You got to have a community of people who surround you and inspire you. Well, that's Growth Day and I've been building it and we've been had blessed to have so many of you participate. If you haven't heard about it, go to growthday.com you can see all the tools and the benefits you get there. We're basically bringing to you live motivational teachers and life coaches every single week. And every one of these people charges like $50,000 for a one hour keynote. We got them live every week for you in Growth Day. It's the greatest value in personal development that's ever been offered, hands down. And I'm so proud of the team, so thankful for your support in it. And I think that's really just the next stage of my life is building the software company and this media empire. To that point, some of you may have heard that we are rolling out a podcast network you'll see on the new show Art for this show, in fact, Motivation with Brendan Burchard. You'll see on the show Art a Growth Day Podcast Network. So both my shows under the Growth Day Podcast Network, however, we're also rolling out, gosh, five other shows just this year that I really believe will bring tremendous value to you from incredible folks in both those categories of personal development, motivation and marketing and business. And all of them names you probably know. I mean, we've got Straight up with Trent Shelton coming out on the Growth Day pod is Cast Network. Trent Shelton is one of the greatest motivational speakers alive today. He is. So just talking about him, I get fired up. Great friend, incredible teacher. If you haven't listened to Straight up with Trent Shelton, go subscribe. You're going to be happy you did. He'll be bringing a lot of fire to our network. We've got Lisa Bilyu, who is the host of Women of Impact and co founder of Quest and Impact Theory. Her show for women is so powerful that I wanted to make sure we had that voice on the podcast network. We've got Lori Harder Earn. You're happy. That podcast is like listening to your friend every day talk about, you know, dealing with life and career and marriage and trying to grow and allow yourself to be an ambitious and successful person. Then of course, we've got the Boss Babe podcast also debuting on the podcast network for Growth Day Boss Babe. I just actually spent the day with them yesterday. Natalie and Danielle are two incredible leaders who also inspire so many millions of women around the world and bring that real insight around marketing and business that I think rounds out the podcast network as we start. So a lot of changes, a lot's going on. I know anytime there's a shift, people will be either excited about it or question it. And so I just ask for the same thing I always ask for, just time and patience. Doing all of this work, rolling out a podcast network, rolling out a software company, moving my family, trying to maintain the rhythm that we've always done. You know, releasing so much content out in the world for free, but then also looking for people who want to go to other level. And that's what I really believe Growth day will receive. All of my focus is like, oh, you want to learn from me? Then go to Growth Day. Because in growth day I leave an exclusive life coaching audio every single day. And what's cool to help you make self improvement way of life is that audio is exclusive to that day, meaning I do it every day and then it disappears at midnight every night. So every day I'm just meeting you where you're at, I'm keeping you engaged in your personal development. I'm trying to keep you not just motivated or not just have conversations, but rather really train you on developing your mindset, on developing your goals and your habits in such a way they are achievable and helping you maintain that progress, that productivity, that momentum, that drive that will benefit you and your family later on. I think that that's a very unique place to do that. Where do achievers go to really develop themselves with all the tools and the coaching and community they need? That's Growth Day. So check us out@growthday.com it is the sponsor of this show as well as my marketing show as well as the shows I just referenced. It's going to be a really, really fun year building that. Last but not least, a lot of people been asking about when I'm coming out with a new book. And my next book is called Reignite your life. It will be coming out next spring. And you know, it's really a offshoot of a course that I did with the Oprah Winfrey Network by the same title. But I really figured that what people needed right now, if I could give anything to anybody right now, it would be the ability to really master their own motivation so that they can reignite their life, so they can make the changes, so that they can start the new things that they could achieve. And that's why I decided to take it from just the Brendan show to motivation with Brendan Burchard. And I know some people, they always like they're poo pooing on motivation. Oh, you don't need, you don't need motivation. You need discipline. I'm like, how do you have discipline without motivation? And they confuse this topic all the time because they haven't studied it. They say, well, motivation is just a Feeling. And it's like, no, if you have the discipline to do something, there's motive there first, right? Yes. You don't always feel energized or enthusiastic about doing something that's also different than what motivation is. And people always say, well, motivation is fleeting. Discipline lasts forever. I'm like, try having a discipline without motivation. You have to motivate yourself daily. You have to. You have to. There is no question. Yeah. You could just wake up, put your shoes on and go for a run and just not enjoy it. Okay. I don't want to experience that life. I want to be clear about my intentions. I want a high level of clarity and purpose behind what I do. I want to know what my ambitions and contributions are. I do want to feel excited and energized in my life, but I want to be able to go whether or not that emotional energy is there or not, because I have clarity. Well, that's the stuff of motivation. And I think because of what happened these last couple years, so many people lost that, you know, they're waiting for something else to give them that energy. They're waiting for something else to give them that clarity. They're waiting for something else to inspire them. And while I think that teaching training courses and community all help, engaging in shows like this, engaging in growth day, all of these things are great amplifiers. But we must begin with the world within. We must learn to master our own motivation. We have to learn how to stir our mind into intention and clarity and ambition and purpose. We have to learn to aim our thoughts to align with that. We have to learn to set up habits and routines that support that energy. We have to be able to serve others when they lose their own engagement or confidence, motivation, drive, or happiness in life. I've met people who've been happy but not motivated, so they don't seem fulfilled or interested or fired up. I've met people who really did feel like they had great relationships, but they didn't have any direction. I've met people who have outstanding discipline, like amazing discipline. They show up and do things, but they're joyless. I think the magic is that little triangle. If you've seen me teach it before, we call it the four desires in Growth Day. The magic is a sense of aliveness. That sense of aliveness that is energy, that is enthusiasm, that's passion, that's vibrancy, that's motivation and drive. Another corner of that triangle is connection. Authentic connections with ourselves and with those around us, especially meaningful pursuits. That idea that what we want in our lives isn't just goals, but doing things that we find meaningful and pursuing something that is meaningful. Not just feeling, you know, zenned out, but pursuit. Right. We want that sense of movement and progress and momentum in life, but in a meaningful journey kind of way. And in the middle of the triangle, it's a capital G growth. We want to know that we are growing, that we are manifesting our full potential, that we are stretching ourselves, that we are going to become better at in the future for our family, for those we serve and lead and contribute to. This is the stuff that we're talking a lot about in Motivation with Brendon Burchard this season. I want to thank you again for being on the journey with me. This is an exciting time to make this announcement. I'm announcing three huge things. Well, four things right now, honestly. I'm announcing right now this new show, Motivation with Brendon Burchard. Again, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, wherever you listen to your podcast. And as well on the YouTube channel. Then marketing with Brendan Burchard.
