Editor’s Letter: Issue 22, Brendon Burchard

Dear Best Selfers,

Fine. I’ll admit, there’s a bit of a New York skeptic that resides within me, despite being the Editor-In-Chief of a magazine dedicated to holistic health and conscious living. I call it my ‘devil’s advocate’ litmus test.

I’ve been a fan of Brendon Burchard for years — watching him jump around excitedly scribbling on whiteboards in his training videos, courses and on social media. Could he truly be that happy and energetic?

Yes.

The truth is that Brendon Burchard is excited about everything, seriously. His energy is palpable. His desire to learn more and reach further is insatiable — his commitment to live, love, matter and be his best self — unparalleled. He lights up when he speaks — whether he’s talking about his work, giving a tour of his new offices, talking about his team members or the awesome indie bookstore around the corner. It’s who he is, what he’s nurtured and created.

It left me saying, I want what he’s having — some of that ‘Bring The Joy’ Kool Aid.

There’s got to be a reason that he continues to exceed all benchmarks and that millions of people follow him, gravitate to his online courses, attend his live events, read his books, and resonate with his messages. There’s a reason why we flew across the country to interview him in what I now refer to as his ‘motivation workshop’ in Portland. Yes, he’s unmatched at what he does — but it’s actually pretty simple: he works hard, plays hard, loves hard and just wants to leave the planet better than when he arrived.

And he wants you to do the same.

When asked what he’s most proud of — he answered, “helping others achieve what’s possible in their own lives.” That is what is at the core of his mission. That’s what keeps people coming.

Yep, he’s a man on a mission to get you on your own. Now, I’ll drink to that!

Here’s to Living, Loving and Mattering (repeat).
