In this high-energy, deeply personal episode of Burning the Ships, I sit down with real estate hustler and lifelong Smithfield native, Brandon Privette. From chasing deer in the woods to chasing deals in real estate, Brandon’s story is a masterclass in hustle, grit, and finding purpose. We talk about how his entrepreneurial journey mirrors his passion for hunting, how he battled through personal and financial hardship, and how he’s intentionally rebuilding his life around family, faith, and discipline.

Brandon opens up about how a single decision and a bank account with only $5 to his name catapulted him from a 9-to-5 grind into full-time entrepreneurship.

Whether you’re just starting out, rebuilding, or scaling up, this episode is packed with raw, actionable insight on mindset, marriage, money, and making bold moves.
