In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman delivers one of his most honest and soul-stirring messages yet—a no-fluff, no-hype conversation that will challenge YOU to let go of the weight of your past and step fully into the power of what YOU can control: TODAY.

Ben pulls back the curtain on the mental toughness it takes to chase greatness—not just once, but every single day. Drawing from some of the most powerful examples in sports and life, he begins with the mindset of the late, great Kobe Bryant. Kobe didn’t believe in failure. He believed that failure only becomes real when YOU internalize it, when YOU allow it to define YOU. For Kobe, the past was a teacher—not a prison—and that lesson is a cornerstone of this episode.

Ben then shares a powerful personal story: witnessing Jalen Hurts after the Super Bowl loss. Instead of letting defeat break him, Hurts used it to ignite his fire. He tuned out the critics who said he didn’t belong in the NFL, let alone as a quarterback. And he proved every one of them wrong—not with talk, but with action, grit, and relentless preparation. That transformation didn’t happen overnight. It happened through discipline, belief, and a deep connection to his BURN.

This same philosophy fuels Ben’s approach to life and leadership. He breaks down the Prizefighter Day—a proven mental framework that challenges YOU to win each day by taking ownership of YOUR actions, YOUR energy, and YOUR execution. It's about building consistency, not chasing perfection. It’s about aligning YOUR words with YOUR behavior, because too many people say they want greatness but act in a way that keeps them average.

Ben also exposes a painful truth: too many of us are carrying baggage from last week, last month, or even last year. That baggage—those setbacks, disappointments, excuses—are holding YOU back from doing what needs to be done today. And it’s only when YOU release the past and lock in on the present that real transformation happens.

In the end, this episode isn’t about motivation—it’s about truth. It’s about YOU. Ben reminds us that real winning has nothing to do with status, accolades, or trophies. It’s about being the absolute best version of YOU today—through effort, focus, accountability, and heart.

If YOU’RE ready to let go of what was and lock into what can be, this episode is the fuel YOU need to ignite YOUR next level.

In this powerful episode of The Burn Podcast, we’re joined by none other than Daymond John—iconic entrepreneur, branding expert, and one of the original Sharks from the 4-time Emmy Award-winning Shark Tank. From humble beginnings in Queens, New York, to building the global fashion empire FUBU with just $40, Daymond’s story is a testament to resilience, grit, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Daymond opens up about his early life, being raised by a single mother and finding his "burn" through hands-on hustle—wiring cables in abandoned buildings and selling homemade hats on the streets. That first $800 in sales lit the fire that would launch his career. He shares how adapting his pitch, staying intentional, and rejecting ego became cornerstones of his entrepreneurial growth.

Throughout the conversation, Daymond drops game-changing insights on solving problems, building momentum, and embracing challenges as milestones of progress. We also explore his role as a father, the legacy he wants to leave behind, and why being a lifelong learner is essential to sustained success.

This is more than a business story—it’s a blueprint for becoming YOUR best.

In this episode of The Burn Podcast, we welcome back Ashwin Mohan—founder of Mohan Coaching and one of the top-ranked advisors in the country. Ranked #8 out of more than 10,000 career advisors in financial security planning at a Fortune 100 company, Ashwin exemplifies purpose-driven leadership, relentless discipline, and elite execution.

Ashwin dives deep into how the Prizefighter Day framework has helped him stay laser-focused on his non-negotiables, creating sustained momentum toward his goals. He shares the profound impact of completing the Unrequired Workout with Ben Newman—a challenge that redefined his physical and mental standards. Ashwin emphasizes that being a great coach and leader begins with leading by example, both in body and mind.

This conversation takes a powerful turn as Ashwin opens up about losing a close friend at a young age. That experience became a wake-up call and a reminder that today could be YOUR last. His mindset now centers around doing the small things every day—consistently, intentionally, and with a deep sense of purpose. Because success isn’t about intensity once in a while—it’s built on consistency, forward movement, and how YOU choose to show up each day.
