What would you do if the day you finally took the leap to quit your job and chase your dream… you found out your wife was pregnant? For Brandon, that wasn’t a hypothetical—it was the exact moment his life changed. After a successful run in medical device sales, Brandon had built a strong career, but something in him knew he was meant for more. Tired of watching time-consuming inefficiencies waste hours of his and his colleagues’ lives, he began dreaming up a smarter, AI-driven tool that could streamline the medical sales process. That idea became Rep Prep, a sales platform now helping reps across the country prepare faster, close stronger, and spend more time where it matters: with clients, families, and themselves. In this episode,Brandon sits with his mother Sharon for a rich, emotional, and deeply personal conversation about purpose, pressure, and pivoting into the unknown. Sharon shares what it was like watching her son walk away from stability in order to build something risky but meaningful. Brandon talks candidly about the early days of building a startup from scratch—on his laptop in the backyard, while navigating fatherhood and fear. He opens up about the highs and lows, what kept him going, and how he knew this idea wasn’t just another pitch—it was his calling. From the importance of solving real problems to the grit it takes to go all in on your dream, this conversation is about more than business—it’s about legacy. Whether you’re building something yourself, supporting someone who is, or just wondering what it really takes to bet on your own vision, this episode offers a front-row seat to one family’s leap of faith—and the life they’re building on the other side.
