On this episode, host Bishoy Tadros sits down with Brendan Keegan, a powerhouse leader whose journey is as inspiring as it is impressive. Brendan is a six-time president and CEO, 20-time board director, two-time bestselling author, and an award-winning visionary behind Be Fearless Ventures. But his story starts far from the corner office—in a small New Hampshire home, as the youngest of four siblings, where he learned resilience, kindness, and the power of empathy from his family and especially his sister with Down syndrome.
Together, Bishoy and Brendan dive deep into Brendan’s unconventional upbringing, his early “leadership bug,” and the humble beginnings that shaped his philosophy. They discuss Brendan’s experiences leading massively successful businesses, raising over $10 billion in capital, and the rollercoaster ride of navigating Silicon Valley during the tech boom and bust. Brendan opens up about what it means to rise through setbacks, lead with humility, and multiply success by empowering others.
Whether you’re an aspiring leader, an entrepreneur, or someone who appreciates stories of grit, authenticity, and comeback, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and moving reflections. Get ready to learn how the foundation of kindness, empathy, and conscious balance led Brendan Keegan from small-town beginnings to global boardrooms—and why the true mark of leadership is the legacy you help others build.
