From Loss, Failure & Addiction to Building a Company

In this episode of Chosen 2 Change, we sit down with Brandon to unpack a story marked by loss, failure, and hard choices—and the discipline it took to rise anyway.

Brandon opens up about being discharged from the Army just one week before basic training, getting fired from his HVAC job, and losing two brothers—one to mental illness and another to addiction. Moments that could have ended his story instead became the pressure that forced him to take responsibility for his life.

At 26 years old, after losing his oldest brother, Brandon made a decision that would change everything: to stop running, stop making excuses, and start building. That choice led to the creation of NCB Mechanical, a company now on pace to surpass $3 million in revenue in under five years.

This conversation isn’t about overnight success. It’s about accountability, discipline, grief, and choosing to build when life feels unfair.

If you’ve ever felt behind, written off, or stuck in the weight of your past—this episode is for you.
