The Brendan Ecker Influence
The Brendan Ecker Influence is hosted by Brendan Scott Ecker — a 27-year-old American entrepreneur, Michigan real estate agent, CEO of Gold Shark Media Ai, founder of PassRE USA, investor, law enforcement officer, former NCAA two-sport athlete, and author of Beyond the Beat and How I Made My Dorm My Office.
Ecker went from a middle-class “Matrix” upbringing to building a fast-growing digital brand, scaling multiple businesses, and growing a YouTube channel with over 27,000 subscribers. With a background in Criminology, law enforcement, and competitive athletics, he blends discipline, strategy, and mindset into everything he teaches.
On this podcast, Brendan breaks down the real frameworks behind wealth, business, real estate, marketing, AI, geopolitics, mindset, and personal growth. He discusses the journey in growing his businesses, documenting the wins, failures, and the tactical steps that helped him escape the system and build multiple income streams.
The mission: Document the journey, expose the mindset needed to reach the top 1%, and give you the tools to succeed in business and life—faster and smarter.
Welcome to the 1%.
