Bryan Flanagan: Southern Charmed

Born in the bayou, Bryan is the youngest of three children. His parents were Blue Collar workers and also sold insurance on the side. Bryan’s father was also into sports and was a coach for one of the local teams. Through this, Bryan learned the value of a good work ethic, teamwork, and discipline. These childhood lessons would carry throughout his life and also helped open some doors along the way.

One of those doors led Bryan to IBM and because of his work ethic and determination, he turned that into a 14-year career. While at IBM, Bryan went from door-to-door salesman to corporate trainer, teaching others how to communicate and sell.

Along the way, Bryan was introduced to a book by a man named Zig Ziglar that absolutely changed his entire life. Zig was one of the first ‘self-help’ gurus of his time and eventually Bryan was able to create an opportunity to work directly with Zig and his organization, which turned into another 29-year career.

Today, Bryan is still training and helping others grow in their own ability, and he is still creating new opportunities for himself as a public speaker. Tune in to hear how this boy from the bayou has lived a ‘southern charmed’ life and by creating his own luck, through his hard work and dedication to serving others, has been able to impact thousands of people’s lives. The roadmap Bryan laid out for his life is certainly one worth adapting to our own lives.
