Brian retired from the corporate world at the age of 45 after a successful management career at one of the largest communications firms in the world. He went on to create multi-million-dollar businesses in the sports and healthcare arenas. He also founded the TheBeardedPhilosopher.com to share ideas and principles on the topics of happiness, health, finances, and personal growth.
