from We Rest On Sundays · host Ben Collier II

In this week’s episode of We Rest on Sundays, I sit down with my close fraternity brother, Bryant “BT” Thomas, for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation. Once climbing the corporate ladder on Wall Street with S&P, BT made a bold and unconventional decision—he left a six-figure career to pursue his passion for fitness.We talk about his journey from making over $100K to earning just $17K in his first year as a trainer at Equinox, and the resilience it took to bet on himself. Today, BT is not only a six-figure trainer but also a co-owner of a gym in NYC, living proof of what it looks like to pursue purpose with intention.This episode isn’t just about career pivots—it’s about friendship, honesty, health, and healing. BT opens up about the recent loss of his mother, the lessons grief teaches us, and why holding your friends accountable—especially when it comes to their health—can be an act of love.Whether you’re considering a career change, struggling to trust the process, or simply looking for motivation to move, this episode is for you.
