The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman

In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman delivers one of his most honest and soul-stirring messages yet—a no-fluff, no-hype conversation that will challenge YOU to let go of the weight of your past and step fully into the power of what YOU can control: TODAY.Ben pulls back the curtain on the mental toughness it takes to chase greatness—not just once, but every single day. Drawing from some of the most powerful examples in sports and life, he begins with the mindset of the late, great Kobe Bryant. Kobe didn’t believe in failure. He believed that failure only becomes real when YOU internalize it, when YOU allow it to define YOU. For Kobe, the past was a teacher—not a prison—and that lesson is a cornerstone of this episode.Ben then shares a powerful personal story: witnessing Jalen Hurts after the Super Bowl loss. Instead of letting defeat break him, Hurts used it to ignite his fire. He tuned out the critics who said he didn’t belong in the NFL, let alone as a quarterback. And he proved every one of them wrong—not with talk, but with action, grit, and relentless preparation. That transformation didn’t happen overnight. It happened through discipline, belief, and a deep connection to his BURN.This same philosophy fuels Ben’s approach to life and leadership. He breaks down the Prizefighter Day—a proven mental framework that challenges YOU to win each day by taking ownership of YOUR actions, YOUR energy, and YOUR execution. It's about building consistency, not chasing perfection. It’s about aligning YOUR words with YOUR behavior, because too many people say they want greatness but act in a way that keeps them average.Ben also exposes a painful truth: too many of us are carrying baggage from last week, last month, or even last year. That baggage—those setbacks, disappointments, excuses—are holding YOU back from doing what needs to be done today. And it’s only when YOU release the past and lock in on the present that real transformation happens.In the end, this episode isn’t about motivation—it’s about truth. It’s about YOU. Ben reminds us that real winning has nothing to do with status, accolades, or trophies. It’s about being the absolute best version of YOU today—through effort, focus, accountability, and heart.If YOU’RE ready to let go of what was and lock into what can be, this episode is the fuel YOU need to ignite YOUR next level.************************************Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JDAXd0QMbuIListen on all platforms: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcomhttps://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
