Positive Persistence - Ian Bowen & Kerrie Lee Brown on Resilience, Healing, & Choosing How You Live

In this powerful compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two extraordinary stories that redefine what resilience, perspective, and intentional living truly mean.First, Ian Bowen shares his remarkable journey of Positive Persistence after being diagnosed with a rare disease that left him paralyzed and told he would never walk again without crutches. Refusing to accept that outcome, Ian leaned into the power of imagination, belief, and daily discipline. Through his RINSE framework—Remember, Imagine, Notice, Shift, and Expect—he rebuilt not only his body but his mindset. Today, Ian is not just walking; he’s running marathons. His story is a living example that when YOU control your mindset, no diagnosis, circumstance, or setback gets to define your future.Then, Kerrie Lee Brown, founder and publisher of RedLily® and author of My Heart, My Self, joins Ben to share her journey through leadership, storytelling, and healing. After suffering a heart attack at a young age, Kerrie was forced to confront the pace at which she was living. That moment reshaped her priorities and inspired her mission to help women slow down, find their voice, and reconnect with what truly matters. Through RedLily, she has created a powerful platform for women to share stories of resilience, growth, and transformation.Together, these conversations ask a profound question: Are you pushing with purpose, or running so fast you’ve lost sight of what matters? This episode is an invitation to persist with belief, pause with intention, and choose a life built on strength, balance, and meaning.Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sQ10iMX3VqoListen on all platforms: https://www.theburnpodcast.com_______________________Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben’s latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693Qlogix: www.Q-logix.com/benhttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a messageOrder my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewmanConnect with me everywhere else:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693
