SELLEST OSAST
What was it really like growing up as the son of one of the most influential personal development teachers of all time?
In this inspiring episode of Finding True North, Kelly-Anne and Jacqueline welcome Brian Proctor, author, speaker, coach, and son of the legendary Bob Proctor. Drawing from a lifetime of lessons learned at his father's side, Brian shares stories, principles, and practices that continue to shape his life today.
From bedtime rituals that instilled confidence and possibility, to lessons on persistence, goal setting, and personal responsibility, Brian offers a heartfelt look into the mindset principles that helped shape not only his father's legacy, but his own path as a teacher and coach.
Together, they explore the importance of thinking beyond limitations, protecting your mindset, surrounding yourself with the right people, and learning to step into discomfort as a pathway to growth. This episode is both a tribute to Bob Proctor's enduring influence and a reminder that the power to create change begins within each of us.

Brian Proctor was born in 1961, the same year Bob was introduced to Napoleon Hill's classic, Think and Grow Rich—a moment that would launch a remarkable 60-year journey into the world of personal development. For six decades, Brian and Bob shared not only a father-son relationship but a deep friendship, and for nearly 30 years Brian had a front-row seat as his father taught on some of the world's biggest stages.
Today, Brian continues to share, as a speaker and author, on the timeless principles he learned from his father while bringing his own insights and experiences to the conversation.
Brian is the co-founder of KellyProctorCo LLC, an organization created with his wife, Cory Kelly Proctor, whose mission is to empower people to live their best life by leaning into simple yet profound strategies.
