Door-to-Door Salesman Opens up About the GRIND - Bryce Boan

Bryce Boan is about to embark on an exciting journey to Europe to pursue his passion for volleyball, a sport he's dedicated himself to for years. Our discussion today covers a range of topics that are close to Bryce's heart and mine, including the challenges and triumphs of sales through door-to-door knocking, the deep bond of our friendship, and our mutual appreciation for art. Of course, as with any conversation between close friends, we also dive into some random, funny moments that will have you laughing along with us.

One of the central themes we explore is Bryce's experience in door-to-door sales. It's a tough gig, but Bryce's positive mindset and relentless drive have seen him through the hardest days. He shares his unique approach to dealing with rejection, emphasizing the importance of staying focused on the bigger picture. For Bryce, every "no" is just one step closer to a "yes," and he keeps himself motivated with mantras like "I'm getting fit, I’m getting tan, and I’m selling shit." His advice for anyone considering this line of work? It’s all about mindset and persistence—putting in the hours, mastering the pitch, and staying mentally tough even when the going gets rough.

We also delve into Bryce's views on art, which he describes as a mirror to life. For Bryce, art isn't just something to be admired; it's a way to understand and express himself. He believes that good art is a blend of strong writing, execution, and personal impact. The way art can resonate with someone on a deeply personal level makes it a powerful tool for self-discovery and growth. Whether it's a painting, a piece of music, or even a game like Elden Ring, Bryce sees art as a reflection of life’s complexities and challenges, offering insights that words alone sometimes cannot capture.

In our more lighthearted moments, Bryce and I also talk about humor—how it’s shaped by the people around us and the situations we find ourselves in. Bryce's humor is dynamic, often adapting to the context and the company he keeps. Whether we're joking about shared experiences or riffing on the absurdities of life, Bryce's ability to find humor in just about anything is a testament to his positive outlook and quick wit.

This episode is a bit different from our usual format, as Bryce suggested. It's more of a laid-back chat between friends who haven't seen each other in a while. We talk about a little bit of everything, sharing laughs and memories while catching up. I hope you enjoy this relaxed, genuine conversation as much as we did recording it!

KEEP IT LONG TERM!
