Scaling with Relationships & Authentic Leadership Brian Brault on Building Success that Lasts
In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, host Zorina Dimitrova talks with Brian Brault—a serial entrepreneur, Inc. 500 founder, and former Global Chair of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO)—about what really drives lasting business success: relationships and authentic leadership.
From starting a hot dog stand at age 5 to scaling his company to double digit million and 300+ employees without a sales team, Brian shares real, raw stories of building businesses through trust, connection, and purpose. He dives into how vulnerability made him a better leader, why “Papa Days” with his grandchildren matter just as much as board meetings, and how relationship-driven leadership can transform your team—and your life.
If you're an entrepreneur, founder, or business leader looking to scale with heart, this conversation will change how you grow.
🔥 What You’ll Learn:
How to scale a business through strong personal and professional relationships
What “authentic leadership” really looks like in high-stakes business
How to build high-performing teams without control or ego
Brian’s journey from near-financial disaster to entrepreneurial influence
The power of prioritizing family, vulnerability, and connection
