Today's guest is a philosopher, entrepreneur, teacher, and above all, a relentless pursuer of human potential - I’m delighted to have Brian Johnson with me on the podcast.

Brian's impressive journey includes building and selling two major social platforms way before Facebook existed. Now, he's the founder and CEO of Heroic Public Benefit Corporation. His aim? To inspire 51% of humanity to flourish by 2051. Brian’s work is deeply rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science, and he is passionate about cultivating human consciousness.

In this episode, Brian takes us on a journey through his past experiences, challenges, and what led him to where he is today. He shares how he navigates adversity, why he pushes for a life filled with authenticity and purpose, and how he inspires others to activate their heroic potential.

From a ealy passion for studying greatness, to creating multi-million dollar startups and living a philosopher-like life in the process, Brian embodies what it means to strive for one's best self and to truly serve something greater than oneself. Stay tuned as we explore the world of Brian Johnson, offering you an opportunity to discover not just what makes great people great but also, what can make YOU great too. I hope you enjoy!
