In this powerful two-episode compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with two dynamic leaders whose stories prove that adversity can become your greatest advantage when you choose to rise from it.

First, Nate Green shares the lessons that shaped him into an award-winning CEO, best-selling author, and leadership performance coach. From overcoming a career-threatening health crisis at just 23 to building an eight-figure business and landing on the Inc. 5000 list four years in a row, Nate’s story embodies resilience and relentless growth. He breaks down the principles behind his book Suck Less, Do Better and the frameworks he teaches through programs like Built Unstoppable—all designed to push individuals toward decisive action, personal transformation, and unlocking the potential they already have within.

Then, Stephen Rhodes, CEO of Signify Wealth and author of Make Your Money Matter, joins Ben to discuss the mindset that drove him from humble beginnings to becoming a trusted financial advisor to families, businesses, and professional athletes. Stephen reveals the “never again” moment that fueled his tireless work ethic, the passion that helps others see their own value more clearly, and why legacy isn’t something you leave behind—it’s something you live daily. From prioritizing family to redefining impact, Stephen challenges us to make our lives, our money, and our leadership truly matter.

Together, these conversations highlight what The Burn is all about: turning passion into purpose, adversity into fuel, and today’s decisions into tomorrow’s legacy. This episode is for anyone ready to elevate their leadership, deepen their impact, and live unstoppable.

In this special compilation episode of The Burn Podcast, we revisit two incredible conversations with women who are redefining what it means to lead, grow, and attack life with purpose.

First, Judy Selby—award-winning attorney, certified coach, and author of the bestseller The Untold Secrets to Thrive as a Lawyer—shares the mindset and habits behind her evolution from one of the nation’s top cyber attorneys to a coach helping professionals elevate their performance. She breaks down why soft skills matter more than ever, how to protect YOURSELF in today’s digital world, and the small daily disciplines that separate those who merely survive from those who THRIVE.

Then, we reconnect with Shayla Gifford, a powerhouse sales leader, coach, and entrepreneur who has helped countless loan officers become self-made rainmakers. Shayla opens up about discovering her “burn,” the discipline required to chase meaningful goals, and the deep impact great coaches can have in uncovering potential people don’t yet see in themselves. Her message is simple and powerful: when YOU lead with authenticity and heart, YOU create opportunities not just for yourself—but for everyone around you.

This episode is packed with clarity, conviction, and lessons YOU can apply immediately to become the biggest, strongest version of yourself.

Tune in and reignite YOUR burn.

In this inspiring compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two incredible stories of drive, purpose, and the relentless pursuit of growth — one from the world of wellness, the other from the hardwood.

First, Lexi Johnson, founder of Lexi J Wellness, shares how she turned a global shutdown into an opportunity to serve others. What started as workouts in her unfinished basement during the pandemic became a thriving community that empowers thousands of women to take control of their health and mindset. Lexi opens up about the powerful letter she wrote to her father that changed his life — and how that moment became the heartbeat of her mission. From small-town roots to nationwide impact, her story is proof that when your burn comes from a place of love and purpose, there’s no limit to what you can build.

Then, Drew Hanlen, one of the most respected basketball trainers in the game, joins Ben to talk about mastering the mental side of success. Having coached NBA stars like Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, and Bradley Beal, Drew reveals what separates the good from the great — a commitment to the unrequired work that others avoid. He also shares lessons from his book Stop Bullshitting Yourself, a wake-up call to anyone standing in their own way. Through his words, Drew reminds us that greatness isn’t about talent — it’s about consistency, accountability, and a refusal to settle.

Together, Lexi and Drew embody what The Burn is all about — the inner fire that fuels your discipline, the courage to believe before results appear, and the resilience to keep pushing when comfort calls.
