We had the good fortune of connecting with Bryan Majors and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Bryan, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I started my business based off of the worst and best day of my life. My father had to forgo heart surgery and he eventually passed away right after surgery. My father and steals great life skills, characteristics morals and values in me my family and my friends. I wanted to continue his legacy and always make him proud of me.
I then took everything he taught me about lives process and the importance of preparation and turned it into a business. I allowed that adversity and pain to turn into my purpose and profit.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
It is a absolute must that you go to Milk & Honey in Atlanta. It has the best food ever and the vibe is amazing.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to surely shout out my family, friends, mentors & major prep team for always holding me accountable to reach every goal I ever set.
