The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman

In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with mortgage-industry titan, coach, and now author J. J. Mazzo to unpack his new book Perseverance Principles (releasing October 7). J. J. opens up about the messy middle—imposter syndrome, financial pressure, family leadership, and faith—and how seven practical principles became his playbook for pushing through the toughest seasons. This conversation is raw, real, and relentlessly hopeful. From building Impact, his coaching company, to donating the book’s proceeds to Robin’s Nest and the Orange County Rescue Mission, J. J. shows what it looks like to persevere with purpose and why faith, standards, and community matter most when life hits hard.Together, Ben and J. J. dive into why perseverance is needed now more than ever. They explore how faith anchors discipline, why leading at home is the ultimate test of character, and how grace and forgiveness allow anyone to start over—no matter how far they’ve fallen. J. J. shares his vulnerable journey of setbacks and shame, and how choosing transparency created a book that is not just a story but a playbook for anyone navigating adversity. His decision to give all proceeds to charity is a testament to his servant leadership and commitment to paying it forward.Pre-Order/Order: Perseverance Principles — releasing October 7 with Wiley.

In this no-excuses, fire-filled episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings the heat by combining two of the most powerful messages we’ve ever released.First: Lock the Gates.Ben shares the life-changing mindset shift that came from one simple but powerful principle: YOU have the power to lock YOUR gates. That means protecting your peace, guarding your standards, and refusing to let negativity or distractions inside. When Ben started applying this, everything changed—focus sharpened, relationships leveled up, and results skyrocketed.Second: What Have YOU Done for 5 Years Straight?Too many people quit when it gets hard. They crave speed but lack staying power. Ben challenges YOU to ask the tough question: Have YOU done anything long enough, consistently enough, to earn greatness? Because if YOU haven’t put in 5 years—don’t complain about not having 5-year results.This episode might inspire YOU, piss YOU off, or finally ignite that fire that’s been waiting to burn through YOUR excuses.Whichever it is—don’t just listen. Act.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zvALBf203dI🎧 Listen here: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.com🔥 BIG AS TEXAS Bootcamp 2025: https://bennewman.net/texas-boot-camp/Get Ben’s latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693https://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693

This week on The Burn Podcast, we revisit one of the most unforgettable and soul-stirring episodes we’ve ever released—our powerful conversation with John O’Leary, a man whose story will stop YOU in your tracks and reignite YOUR perspective on pain, purpose, and possibility.At just 9 years old, John was burned on 100% of his body.

He reminds us that no matter the fire YOU face in life, YOU have a choice: to shrink from it or to rise through it with purpose and passion.With his story now coming to life in the upcoming major motion picture Soul on Fire—starring Joel Courtney, John Corbett, and William H. Macy, and hitting theaters October 10, 2025—there’s no better time to revisit this message of resilience, faith, and unshakable hope.🎬 Soul on Fire, directed by Sean McNamara and based on John’s bestselling book On Fire: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life, will move hearts and awaken spirits around the world.John O’Leary is also the author of:📘 On Fire: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life → https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Choices-Ignite-Radically-Inspired-ebook/dp/B010MH1GG2?ref_=ast_author_mpb📘 In Awe: Rediscover Your Childlike Wonder to Unleash Inspiration, Meaning, and Joy → https://www.amazon.com/Awe-Rediscover-Childlike-Unleash-Inspiration-ebook/dp/B07W8D2T69?ref_=ast_author_dpThis episode will challenge YOU to look at YOUR struggles differently… to stop asking “Why me?” and start living BOLDLY through them.Because sometimes YOUR greatest pain can become YOUR greatest platform.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Z1oYRSAhx3Q🎧 Listen here: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.com🔥 BIG AS TEXAS Bootcamp 2025: https://bennewman.net/texas-boot-camp/Get Ben’s latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693https://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693

In this special episode of The Burn Podcast, we bring YOU three powerful conversations from champions who’ve thrived at the highest levels of professional sports—and continue to lead with impact beyond the game.We start with Bennie Fowler, Super Bowl Champion and the last player ever to catch a pass from Peyton Manning. Bennie shares unforgettable stories from playing with both Peyton and Eli Manning—and offers a powerful reminder about the company YOU keep. He talks about how being surrounded by the right people, including his close friend Draymond Green, helps keep him locked in on greatness. Their 10-person group chat is built on healthy competition—who’s working out, who’s striving for more—and that daily accountability fuels their motivation to keep growing.Next, we sit down with Larry Hughes, 14-year NBA veteran, St. Louis legend, and lifelong friend. Larry’s story is rooted in purpose—his devotion to family, his relentless work ethic, and his mission to give back to the community that raised him. This conversation is a mix of joy, resilience, and deep gratitude.Finally, Chris Pronger joins us from his home for an unforgettable discussion. NHL Hall of Famer. Olympic gold medalist. Stanley Cup Champion. But his story goes far beyond the accolades. Chris opens up about the battles behind the scenes—injuries, sacrifice, and the mental toughness it took to sustain greatness over an 18-year NHL career.This episode is packed with raw stories, world-class mindset, and actionable takeaways to help YOU dominate in YOUR life and business.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5wvlPYjIyT0🎧 Listen here: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.com🔥 BIG AS TEXAS Bootcamp 2025: https://bennewman.net/texas-boot-camp/Get Ben’s latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693https://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693
