Brandan Millan
Brandan Millan Co-Owner of Reef Builders LLC (Arizona based custom home builder) explores the common traits, habits, and leadership qualities that successful people have from the playing field to the business world and more, as he should know, taking a 2 person construction company to a multi-million dollar company in less than 5 years. As the son of a Filipino immigrant with strong blue collar roots and coming from humble beginnings, Millan pulled his mattress from a one bedroom apartment closet every night to sleep on for the better part of his childhood. Millan’s journey through life created a diverse background as a software engineer, military veteran, construction owner, technical dive instructor, automotive refinisher/car builder, public safety company officer, multi-sport athlete, master’s graduate, and more. Millan often jokes that he doesn’t know what he is going to be when he grows up. With his diverse background, dynamic guests from all backgrounds will be introduced to show you that success in one arena, can and will translate to success in other areas of life, no matter what your goals may be. It’s going to be fun, so let’s go!
