RU STRONG Justin JB Brashear Former College and Professional Baseball Player
Welcome to the RU Strong Podcast, where grit meets growth, and life’s toughest plays become the foundation for something greater. I’m your host, Jeff Durr.
Today’s episode features a man who embodies perseverance, preparation, and purpose Justin “JB” Brashear. JB is a walking example of what it means to lock in, hone your craft, and become the best version of yourself, no matter the circumstance. From the moment he stepped onto a college campus as a freshman, he was thrown into the fire and instead of backing down, he learned how to be a man, how to help the team win, and how to prepare for life beyond the game.
He didn’t rely on luck though he’ll be the first to say he was grateful for great coaches. He relied on discipline, accountability, and the mindset that you get to choose your hard. He didn’t run from adversity he embraced it, letting it shape his patience, resilience, and drive.
In this conversation, JB dives deep into the parable between sports and life, how being mentally locked in, staying ready, and never forgetting how you got here can help you stay on course, even when the path is uncertain. He’ll remind us that the grass is greener where you water it, and that to win, you can’t transfer blame you must own your effort, your standard, and your outcome.
Whether it’s game day or a day in real life, JB lives by a powerful equation: Trust equals time equals effort. You must show up. You must do what you said you were going to do. And when the opportunity comes, you better be ready physically, mentally, and emotionally.
So, tune in as we uncover the mindset of a man who hates to lose, refuses to be outworked, and is building a legacy rooted in value, purpose, and preparation.
This is more than a story, it’s a blueprint.
