The Weekend That Cost Millions

In this episode of UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders, Ben-Jamin Toy chats with the endlessly energetic Dr. Danny Brassell, a man who’s lived enough careers to fill a mini-series and enough UH-OH moments to keep it interesting.
Danny opens up about the weekend he and his wife bought ten investment properties across the country, from Phoenix, to Salt Lake City, Mississippi, Indianapolis, and Florida. The deal looked golden… right up until it evaporated into a multi-million-dollar catastrophe that came bundled with stress, travel overload, bankruptcy, and a spiritual reckoning.
He talks candidly about what the mistake cost him, the toll it took on his family, and how it pushed him into the speaking business that eventually became his professional sweet spot. Danny shares what he learned about trust, judgment, marriage, faith, and the gritty reality of getting back up after life knocks you flat.
He also reframes his big UH-OH as the turning point that unlocked everything he does today, including coaching, storytelling, and helping leaders turn their own vulnerabilities into powerful narratives. And yes, he leaves you with a gift: a free story-crafting blueprint at freestoryguide.com.
It’s an honest, funny, and deeply human conversation with a guy who proves you can lose everything… and still come out with more than you expected.
