Sean O'Brien is proud of his Dixon roots. The small-town success is the founder of Headtop Performance. The Duke Graduate is also partnered with Top 50 Speaker Ben Newman with O'Brien's newest adventure called Uncommon Coaching. Here is a guy that went from Dixon to Duke. How he got there is one thing. What he learned along the way is the fun part of today's conversation. And now he is a top-rated Performance Coach that is directing individuals and big companies towards BIG success!

In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard sits down with O'Brien to discuss his journey"I knew right away that this was going to be a fun conversation. Sean has a great journey to share with all of us. It's a great representation of what being an entrepreneur is all about.  Our conversation hits THREE areas: 

  •  Segment ONE 💥  introduces us to Headtop Performance. O'Brien describes what being a Performance Coach is and what people and groups that can use the coaching. Sean discusses life during Covid along some other tidbits in the Performance Coaching world 🌍.
  • Segment TWO 💥 is centered around Sean's upbringing in Dixon. We talk baseball. We talk playing ONE sport vs. ALL sports. We get the inside story on his dream college Stanford turning into a trip and college career at Duke. O'Brien discusses transition from athlete to student and his move from Dixon to Duke. We finish up the segment with O'Brien's first job out of college at Stryker.
  • Segment THREE 💥 starts with Sean's meeting with Ben Newman (look him up). What is the difference between the New Sean and Old Sean. We get introduced to Sean's newest adventure at Uncommon Coaching. We find out what's on the horizon for O'Brien. And we finish in style with Rapid Fire 💥

Here are my favorite HIGHLIGHTS  ...
▪️1. His meeting with Ben Newman. Pretty cool how it happened and then what it developed into. I LOVE encounters like this because it goes to show you that you never know what will be the result of our daily encounters with people.
▪️2. The Stanford to Duke story. Pretty amazing to be feeling one way at one point and then to have your world flipped upside down. The good news is that things worked out exactly as they should have.
▪️3. Sean's admission of the busy life leading to 'burn out.' Sean realized he needed balance and made the adjustment toward making that happen.

Our Connection | Sean was introduced to me by a friend named Mike Gutterman. He simply told me, "You have to have Sean on your podcast." That was enough for me
