Highlights
[04:24] Brian’s number one goal for today is to serve the listeners well.
[05:00] Brian helps authors, speakers, and bloggers get clear on their audience, their message, and their products. He helps people get the clarity they need.
[06:24] One of the challenges of having so many ideas is finding the things that will move your goal forward. Brian wanted to find something that would create income, serve well, and be in his zone of genius.
[07:01] He tried a lot of things and decided to be kind to himself and open to feedback. His original plan was to be a rockstar. He was in a car accident. Which made him realize that he had a second chance.
[10:37] He now lives with an intensity and urgency of the day. He also started thinking about his purpose in life.
[11:24] He realized he felt most alive when he was investing in someone else. Brian decided to become a teacher. He then wrote his first book.
[12:43] He then started working for the Michael Hyatt team. This got him started in the marketing world.
[13:10] His business coach told him to do a 360 assessment. This is an anonymous survey to find out what people think. He discovered that he was putting projects in front of people.
[15:43] This started his heart centered journey.
[17:59] Being authentic and vulnerable means that sometimes you will mess something up.
[22:11] Sometimes we put people who are further down the road than us on a pedestal. True authenticity is not putting on a facade.
[25:01] Leading with an apology will really open up opportunities for communication.
[27:51] What drives us can be our greatest strength and weakness. Just like the fear archetypes have negative and positive qualities.
[30:31] Brian surrounds himself with a great team to help with follow through.
[31:19] Brian’s book is about getting right with people. It starts with the people at home.
[37:58] Unresolved relationships are important to work on. Especially, if they are in your home. Brian asks his wife everyday, what he can do to make her day.
[40:11] You can also ask people what they are working through?
[41:56] Starting a business can be scary because it’s a me centered thing.
[42:22] Helping by fixing what’s broken. What’s obvious to you, could be magic to other people. Showing up and serving a little bit earns opportunities.
[49:41] Brian talks about money mindset. When people pay they pay attention. The more invested people are the more work they will do.
[53:15] Money is a fuel to fund your dreams.
[55:05] Brian is fired up about teaching his kids to be musicians.
[55:50] Brian runs everyday so he can remain flexible. He wakes up an hour before his kids. He reads the bible and journals. His habits make him a better leader.
[56:54] Being nervous about speaking means your thinking about yourself.
[58:35] Have a clear morning routine and start your day with clarity.

Thanks so much for having me! It was a blast.
I truly enjoyed listening to Mr. Dixon. I felt such honesty in his message. I was touched when he’s spoke about his family and faith. My favorite quote from his message was “put your partner in your dream “ and “it’s sweeter when people are with you.” I feel this to be very true. I hope he doesn’t mine me referring to him in my blog, which isn’t quite up as of yet.
I want to than Ruth for having such amazing speakers who
Touch our lives in so many ways.
Kind regards,
Juanita Wood-Scott.
I’ve been listening to your podcast from Day 1 and I find all your episodes inspiring and thought provoking!
But this, by far, is one of the few episodes I really like and enjoy. I haven’t posted a comment before but I felt inspired to do so because I felt I could relate!
I work in a social work field and I also do a couple of ministries in church and, to be honest, when I feel burnt out I lose the why and purpose behind why I help the less fortunate. Brian’s intentionality and passion to make people the center of everything he does is inspiring. It’s something I will strive to do when I come into work and when I do ministry – to ask, “What’s going on with you today?” Not only to the people I serve but to my coworkers and fellow ministry volunteers as well!
Thanks again for another inspiring and thought provoking episode!

Aw, this was a really nice post. Taking the time and actual
effort to produce a very good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don’t
seem to get anything done. https://tichmarifa.blogspot.com/2025/08/blog-post.html
Hi there to all, for the reason that I am genuinely keen of reading this website’s post to be updated on a regular basis. It carries pleasant stuff.
I tried the method and had positive results — thanks for sharing!
I appreciated the formatting — easy to skim and still informative.
Great perspective — I hadn’t considered that angle before.
This blog is such a hidden gem I stumbled upon it by chance and now I’m completely hooked!
I love the personal examples — they made the advice relatable.
This article is well-researched and clearly written. Appreciate the effort!
