In part one we hear Brandon's story of growing up in a small rural town in the northern part of Southern California, complete with an outhouse, and how Brandon's environment, upbringing and opportunities shaped him into the eventual founder, creator and builder that he is today.
Brandon's story weaves through growing up north of Santa Barbara, CA in a town of less than 900 people, going to a school that actually had an outhouse, and how these experiences of being outside, hiking, and exploring began to shape him into a creative problem solver, and eventually company builder.
We hear about how a single decision Brandon made to enter an essay contest AND his own drive and persistence launched him into global travel at 16 years old, eventually landing him as a presented at the G7 Summit.
The themes of being outside, being bored and having to figure it out, parents who supported him and also gave him the freedom to try things. Brandon's desire, commitment and persistence showed early but also shaped him to think bigger.
