Brandon Carter (AKA King Keto) isn’t just about aesthetics. He’s built an empire helping men master their bodies, finances, and mindsets. In this episode, we unpack the philosophy behind his intense approach to discipline, why modern men are struggling with consistency, and how building a strong body is often the gateway to building a strong life.

From entrepreneurship training, we explore the mindsets that fuel long-term success and how Brandon thinks about masculinity, influence, and leaving a mark.
