  • Episode 4: My Father Knew The Secret with Brian Proctor

    25 JUL 2023 · Brian was born in 1961, the same year that his legendary father, Bob Proctor, was given the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, which began his father’s 60-year journey into personal development. For close to 30 years, Brian had the privilege of working alongside his father as he taught from some of the world’s largest stages, and for 60 years they were best friends. While working with his Dad, Brian found his niche in marketing and business development. In the very early years of the Internet, Brian originated a powerful idea to build an email list by creating value which morphed into a massive worldwide platform for his father to share his teachings. This idea set Bob Proctor’s company up for success by opening the door early to email list building long before that became the industry standard. As an online marketer, Brian was consistently the top affiliate in many large product launches with joint ventures, bringing in millions of dollars in commissions for himself and his father’s organization as well as giving many entrepreneurs their first opportunities to share their products and services with a large audience.
