We had the good fortune of connecting with Brian Colvert and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brian, what do you attribute your success to?
The key factor contributing to my success undoubtedly lies in my mindset. Two crucial thoughts consistently occupy my thoughts: 1. How can we meaningfully assist more people, and 2. persistently push forward. I firmly believe that by genuinely helping enough people, my company, it’s employees and my family will thrive. Prioritizing people over profits often results in the financial aspects taking care of themselves. The second mindset has been a guiding principle both in my professional and personal life. When faced with challenges, be it a strenuous workout, conquering a mountain on my bike, or handling significant business calls, I remind myself to persevere. The mantra of “just keep pushing” allows me to overcome mental obstacles and focus on the necessary actions.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
A perfect day in Colorado Springs would undoubtedly start with a mountain bike ride. There a so many great trails, but I would recommend Air Force Academy Loop or Captain Jacks. Then grabbing lunch at Dos Santos would make for a great day.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Numerous individuals, including coaches, friends, and mentors, have played a crucial role in shaping the person I am today. However, the most steadfast presence in my life has been my wife. She has been a constant companion through the tough moments, consistently finding a path forward to keep me motivated. Her unwavering support and encouragement have been instrumental in propelling me to new levels of success.
