- How does Brant reply to people who ask "what do you do?"

- What’s the actual psychology behind making excuses?
- Why as a culture do we tend to encourage or accept excuses?
- When we challenge people who are obviously making excuses and call them on it, can it be confronting?
- Legs are expensive ….$20k each
- Attaching the leg / What keeps it on?
- Brant wore shorts as much as he could as a psychological way of having the courage to try and not hide his leg?
- What has been the most challenging thing he has had to face in his life?
- What's his mental approach to things that don’t go his way?
- What is Brant’s greatest fear?
