Becoming a Bulletproof Leader | Brody Saunders

In this episode I interviewed a new friend. He’s an amazing entrepreneur who has started, jumped into, funded, and done a number of different things for a fantastic variety of different companies. He is the founder and CEO of Workpulse, the CEO of IdealEstate, and the CSO at Encore Fantasy Games, and it was a pleasure speaking with him today. Brody explains that the path isn’t just difficult until you get to the top, but that difficulty even continues on your way back down. He and multiple of his family members were sued, resulting in his father’s suicide, and all this happened during a time when Brody was having to take care of his family. All these things gave him a bit of PTSD, but at the same time it made him bulletproof for when someone else got upset with him, because of the difficulty he went through. Brody shares how he builds and maintains such great relationships with people, which often lead to great things, such as trusted investors and business partners.

“I wasn’t discouraged at all. I actually was excited to start a new idea and it was just 10 times easier because of all of the hardships that I had gone through before. I’m a big fan of the obstacle is the way and I’ve never learned anything from a pat on the back or a high five. It all comes from the hard things when people say no, when people back out, when people don’t follow through or they don’t do a good job.” 8:14
