In this special compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with two guests who embody transformation in very different ways. First, Jimmy Rex shares how he walked away from a thriving real estate empire to build a life centered on purpose. After selling Utah’s most expensive home and reaching every professional milestone, Jimmy realized success without meaning felt empty. What began as a childhood wound — being told he wasn’t good enough — became the fire that drove him to prove his worth. But through deep reflection, he learned to channel that burn into something greater: serving others through his movement We Are The They, helping hundreds of men find connection, purpose, and love over fear.

Next, Shannon and Matthew Missimer open up about how slowing down saved their family and led to The Motion of Gratitude. What started as a simple reminder to “be more grateful” evolved into a life-changing mission to live intentionally and teach others to feel gratitude, not just think it. From downsizing their life to traveling through Costa Rica with their kids, the Missimers discovered that real success isn’t about doing more — it’s about being present, connected, and grounded in what truly matters. Together, these stories remind us that the greatest wins come not from achievement, but from alignment — when you live with intention, purpose, and heart.
