This week, Masters In The Marketplace went on the road — straight into the Entrepreneurship class Torrian teaches at a local high school. Every week, these students get firsthand access to real leaders, real builders, real entrepreneurs who are shaping culture and creating impact.

Today's guest? Ahmad McBride — founder & CEO of Be University and Early B3rd (www.earlyb3rd.com).

Ahmad's story is nothing short of transformational:
➡️ From being homeless,
➡️ to stepping into Hollywood,
➡️ to becoming the visionary behind one of the most dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems teaching people how to start and scale their businesses through "edutainment" — the unique blend of education + entertainment that keeps people learning and laughing.

Inside this conversation, Ahmad shares the mindset, hustle, creativity, and faith required to rise, rebuild, and reinvent your life — and why the next wave of business education MUST entertain, engage, and empower.

• How Ahmad went from sleeping in cars to building companies

• The Hollywood grind & what it taught him about business

• The origins of Be University

• Why "edutainment" is the secret weapon for the next generation

• The Early B3rd Framework — helping entrepreneurs start, grow, and scale

• The mindset shift required to rise out of struggle

• How young entrepreneurs can build confidence, clarity, and consistency

• Why storytelling matters more now than ever in business

• How to identify your zone of genius

• Why the marketplace needs authentic leaders, not perfect ones

• Start with clarity

• Build the right foundation

• Learn business through stories, humor, and practical tools

• Develop leadership skills using entertainment-based learning

Episode Summary:
Season 2 launches with a powerful solo message from Torrian on the idea of having a "burden to build." This episode breaks down the difference between inspiration, passion, and the deep God-given weight that pulls you into your true calling. Drawing from Nehemiah, the life of Jesus, and personal leadership lessons, Torrian helps you identify what you're uniquely called to build in this season.

• What a burden to build really is

• Lessons from Nehemiah's grit, focus, and purpose

• The difference between starting from logic vs. starting from calling

• Two sources of burden: devastation & destiny

• Redefining success as the progressive realization of a worthy goal

• How to quiet distractions and finally hear your assignment

• Encouragement to begin with what you have, where you are

• Name the burden God placed on your heart

• Don't wait for ideal conditions — start now

• Audit distractions that pull you away from purpose

• Success = movement toward your God-given assignment

• Share your burden to build (email: info@torrianscott.com)
