Build Your Power

Traditional hustle culture leaves millions of people burned out, sick, and completely disconnected from who they are. We’ve been trained to follow every rule and hit every goal, only to end up feeling empty in a life we don't even recognize.

I’m Brennan Hilleary—business owner, speaker, and culture consultant—and I started the Build Your Power podcast to directly challenge this way of living.

Drawing from my own experiences, I share raw conversations and solo reflections on what it means to go against the grain of self destructive hustle and grind culture.

This goes beyond standard self-improvement. It is a practical guide to self-realization, helping us dismantle outdated narratives and reclaim our power so we can live a life that fits who we are.

Brennan Hilleary

Brennan Hilleary is a culture consultant, speaker, and founder of Build Your Power, a firm helping mid-market organizations prevent burnout and build strong cultures without sacrificing performance.

As a thought leader and advocate for personal sovereignty, Brennan challenges the outdated "hustle and grind" status quo. Believing that business and life are multidimensional, he bridges the gap between business growth and people development.

Brennan brings this vision to life through compelling keynotes, dynamic workshops, group coaching, and culture consulting.

His methodology is born from lived experience; having navigated corporate success alongside the rock bottom of burnout and addiction, he understands the negative impact of hustle culture.

Brennan has worked with a variety of industries and organizations, including State Farm and Renewal By Andersen.
