From Broke to $6 Million in Sales: Brandon Forbes' Entrepreneur Story

At 17, Brandon Forbes was sitting in a jail cell. Years later, he built a coaching business that generated more than $6 million in sales. But behind the success, he was battling burnout, insecurity, and a crisis of purpose. In this episode of The Outstand Podcast, Chandler Boyce sits down with entrepreneur and Scale Your Coaching founder Brandon Forbes for an unfiltered conversation about faith, money, business growth, leadership, and the dark side of success. Brandon shares how addiction affected his childhood, how an encounter with God changed his direction, and how he went from being broke and cleaning pools to building a multimillion-dollar coaching business. He also opens up about making approximately $240,000 in revenue during a record month while feeling more burned out than ever. This isn't just a conversation about making money. It's about building something meaningful without losing your faith, your family, or yourself.
