In Week 2 of this special six-part Mental Toughness Academy series on The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman introduces the first mental training tool that has helped championship teams, Olympic athletes, Fortune 500 organizations, and elite performers unlock their highest level of performance: Attaining Belief in Yourself.

Building on the foundation of discovering your Burn, Ben explains why knowing your purpose isn't enough—you must give yourself permission to believe bigger than ever before. Through powerful stories from his work with North Dakota State, Kansas State Football, and legendary coach Chris Klieman, Ben reveals how belief, consistency, and daily discipline create extraordinary results. You'll also discover the powerful lesson behind "Pound the Stone" and why lasting success is built one intentional day at a time—not through overnight breakthroughs.

This session also walks you through the Five Steps to Attaining Belief in Yourself, helping you honestly assess where you are, define where you want to go, and begin creating a vision backed by action. Through guided exercises in your Mental Toughness Playbook, you'll identify personal and professional goals while building the mindset, habits, and disciplines necessary to turn your vision into reality.

This isn't about thinking positively. It's about developing the conviction, consistency, and belief required to become the person your goals demand.

In Week 1 of this special six-part Mental Toughness Academy series on The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman lays the foundation for everything that follows by introducing the one concept he believes separates elite performers from everyone else: The Burn.

Drawing from nearly two decades of coaching championship teams, Olympic athletes, Fortune 500 organizations, and leaders across the world—including his work as Mental Conditioning Coach for the Alabama Crimson Tide football—Ben shares the same mental training principles that helped shape national championship teams and thousands of high performers. You'll learn why purpose alone isn't enough, how your Burn ignites your purpose, and why understanding that deeper fire changes the way you show up every single day.

Ben also shares the deeply personal story of his mother, whose courage, resilience, and unwavering determination became the foundation of his own Burn. Through that story, you'll begin identifying the experiences, sacrifices, challenges, and convictions that can fuel your own pursuit of excellence. Along the way, you'll complete your first Mental Toughness Assessment, begin building your Burn Journal, and take the first steps toward developing the mindset and discipline required to perform at your highest level.

This isn't six weeks of motivation. It's six weeks of coaching designed to help you build lasting mental toughness, elevate your discipline, and attack the second half of the year with greater purpose, clarity, and conviction than ever before.

In this special compilation episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two conversations with leaders who have built successful businesses the same way they live their lives—with discipline, intentionality, and an unwavering commitment to doing the work that others avoid.

First, JD Crowell shares how focusing on the fundamentals, building a values-driven culture, and committing to excellence in the ordinary has allowed him to create a thriving real estate business while staying grounded in what matters most. Then, Josh Kosnick dives into leadership, ownership, and the discipline required to build lasting success. From executing daily standards to leading teams through clarity and accountability, Josh explains why greatness is never accidental—it is earned one decision at a time.

Together, these conversations reveal that true success isn't built through shortcuts or moments of inspiration. It's built through consistency, strong leadership, and a commitment to becoming the person capable of sustaining success over the long haul. If you're looking to strengthen your leadership, grow your business, and reconnect to the burn that drives you, this episode will challenge you to raise your standard every single day.
