In this episode, Phil Treadwell is joined by Bryan McKee, mortgage professional, and founder of Resilient Warrior, for a real conversation about what it truly takes to grow—mentally, physically, and professionally. They discuss how discipline, daily habits, and doing the hard things you resist are essential for lasting change. Bryan shares why success isn’t instant, how setbacks shape us, and why your standards must match your goals.

Bryan is a mindset advocate, mortgage professional, and real estate investor with over a decade of experience in leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal development. A former executive chef turned entrepreneur, he now leads the coaching platform Resilient Warrior and hosts the Behind the Breakthrough podcast, where he empowers others to take ownership of their health, habits, and mindset. After overcoming seasons of depression, anxiety, and burnout, Bryan draws from personal experience to help people rebuild from within and live with purpose, discipline, and integrity. His mission is clear: to guide others through the inner work that leads to lasting breakthroughs.
