Brendon Burchard Biography

Brendon Burchard is the author Life’s Golden Ticket and a highly-acclaimed life coach, leadership speaker, seminar leader, and business consultant.

Brendon was blessed to receive life’s golden ticket—a second chance—ten years ago after surviving a dramatic car accident in a third-world country. He was also gifted with the three questions we all ask at the end of our lives: Did I Live, Did I Love, and Did I Matter? Since then, he has dedicated his life to helping individuals, teams and organizations create and master change. His clients have included Accenture, Alcoa, JC Penney, eBay, Best Buy, Nordstrom, Levi's, Gateway, Walgreens, Federal Mogul, and thousands of executives and entrepreneurs in speeches and seminars across the country. As a dynamic speaker and innovative businessman, he is in constant demand and regularly appears on national television and radio shows. His media appearances have included ABC World News, CBS-NY Early Show, NPR stations, Oprah and Friends, and other popular programs. His life-changing speeches and events have been sponsored by Wachovia, Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, Toyota, Morgan Stanley, Washington Trust Bank and other major companies. Brendon's books, newsletters, products and appearances now inspire nearly 2 million people a month.

As one of the top leadership and motivational speakers in the world, Brendon's authentic, powerful and hilarious presentations have become legendary and he has shared the stage with the greats like Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, John Gray, Mark Victor Hansen, Bob Allen, Barbara D'Angeles and Jack Canfield. His message — that we are all called to "live by choice and live to contribute" — has changed thousands of lives around the globe. His signature public seminar events include The Life's Golden Ticket Seminar Series for motivated adults, The College Success Summit for emerging student leaders, The Global Partnership Summit for the world's largest organizational leaders (by invitation only), and The Nonprofit & Corporate Partnership Seminar for authors, coaches, speakers, consultants, and social entrepreneurs hoping to partner with major nonprofits and Fortune 500 companies to change the world (by invitation only).

Brendon donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Life's Golden Ticket to Junior Achievement, Kiwanis International, and the YMCA. Recently, Brendon lived his message of making a difference by helping create the largest nonprofit partnership in history serving the children of the world.

Brendon lives in San Francisco, California, but still calls Montana, where he grew up, home.

A Note from the Author,
Brendon Burchard

“The idea for Life’s Golden Ticket came to me ten years ago after surviving a dramatic car accident in a third-world country. To this day, I vividly remember the moment I physically pulled myself free from the twisted metal of the wreckage—because it was also the moment I emerged from the emotional depression that had recently destroyed my life. I remember standing on the crumpled hood of the car, looking down at my bloodied body, then up to the heavens. That was it. That was the moment. That was when I realized that I had received a “golden ticket”—a second chance at life, and an invitation to experience the world through a new pair of eyes… a world that was more abundant, colorful, and awe-inspiring than I could have ever imagined. In that moment I felt as if the gates of possibility were opened up to me, as if I had been given permission to create a whole new life, a life of my own choosing.

It took me nearly a decade to finally write the book because, frankly, I didn’t know how to write it. I knew I wanted to create a reading experience that helped other people reach that moment I did so long ago: a moment in which they sensed the gates to possibility swinging open for them, a moment they felt like they could start over again and create the life they had always wanted. But how could I create a moment like that for others? I didn’t figure that answer out until last year. I invite you to read Life’s Golden Ticket and tell me if I got it right. ”
