00:02:11 – Brendan’s Unique Approach,
Brendan discusses his unique approach to communication coaching, which emphasizes simplicity, practicality, and generosity. He explains that many coaches in the industry are too smart and unable to simplify their knowledge for the average person.
00:04:20 – Niching Down,
Brendan shares his experience with trying different niches before finding success with Indian technology professionals who are stuck in the middle of the corporate ladder due to their communication skills. He emphasizes the importance of sitting down with clients to understand their pain points.
00:10:49 – Evolving as a Leader,
Brendan highlights the importance of applying a systematic approach to communication, just like how one would approach learning a new skill. He compares communication to juggling 18 balls and emphasizes the need to focus on the fundamentals.
00:12:38 – Random Word Exercise,
This exercise helps deal with uncertainty and makes it easier to master subject matter expertise. The ability to make sense out of nonsense makes communication infinitely easier to master. Doing the exercise five times a day for at least a month will help you become proficient.
00:16:07 – Best Business Decision,
Quitting his corporate job to follow Master full-time earlier in his career was the best decision Brenden made. This decision gave him a time advantage over other communication coaches, and he used all his hours to grow the business.
00:18:51 – Worst Business Decision,
Brenden made a bad decision of being stubborn. He sent 50,000 cold emails to university professors across the US and Canada to share his videos but continued even when he received negative feedback. He should have stopped and found a new vertical.

00:25:18 – Early Success Story,
Brenden shares the story of a CFO client from the Chinese community in Toronto who chose to work with him after trying three other communication coaches without success.

00:26:12 – 50 Year Vision,
