- 6:07Brad Lee.
- 6:08Welcome to the show.
- 6:09Thanks for having me.
- 6:10It's an honor.
- 6:12So where do I open up and have a conversation with Brad Lee?
- 6:15Let me tell you, I have probably thought about this podcast interview more than I'm going
- 6:19to dare say any other podcast interview I've done.
- 6:22Nice.
- 6:23Why is that?
- 6:24Because it's like where do you start with Brad?
- 6:26Because you know, Brad comes at you sometimes fast and furious.
- 6:32Wearing a truth on the sleeve and I remember our mutual friend Renee was talking about
- 6:39how perhaps this is before he met you or whatever and he was watching your content and he's
- 6:42just like at multiple times, he's like feeling like he wants to delete you, right?
- 6:47Watching you come through the feed.
- 6:48He's like, man, that guy's kind of a kind of a tool or whatever the hell he said, right?
- 6:51And I'm like, some of the stuff you say, obviously you know, can kind of, you know, create
- 6:55some emotions in people.
- 6:58And I was watching that and I'm like, you know, I have felt the same way probably four
- 7:02or five times.
- 7:03But then what I do is I dive deeper in your content and I really start to listen to what
- 7:09your message is really all about, you know, and you start to realize that you actually dare
- 7:15I say want to help want to make a difference in people's lives.
- 7:20So true statement.
- 7:21Yeah.
- 7:22Yeah.
- 7:23And see that a lot of people don't necessarily see that because you know, social media is
- 7:25like so fast and just real quick clip or whatever they hear you say one thing or whatever
- 7:29they just move on.
- 7:30But here's I don't tell anybody who's watching is going to follow you perhaps as a result
- 7:33of this or just hang in there for the for the message because the meat is in the message
- 7:37and if they can get get beyond their own limitations in mindset, I think there's a lot of value
- 7:43there.
- 7:44Well, I appreciate it.
- 7:45Yeah.
- 7:46For sure.
- 7:47So what was so offensive out of curiosity?
- 7:49Oh, come on.
- 7:50I think I think you know what?
- 7:52It depends people more than anything.
- 7:54What?
- 7:55My freedom to say what I want and they don't have that.
- 7:59So when they hear me say something, they're like, my God, I cannot.
- 8:04Well, that's because you can't, right?
- 8:07And you're thinking to yourself, this guy's got to have some arrogance to say these
- 8:12type of things.
- 8:13And it's not true.
- 8:14It's the exact opposite actually, it's the exact opposite.
- 8:18I don't have, I'm not arrogant in any way.
- 8:21It's funny.
- 8:22Well, anyway, it's your show.
- 8:24You go.
- 8:25No, no, this is what we do.
- 8:26We talk, man.
- 8:27So if you're not arrogant, then how would you describe it?
- 8:29Confident?
- 8:30Confident, certain.
- 8:31Yeah, certain.
- 8:32You know, I don't need other people's approval.
- 8:34Uh-huh.
- 8:35Yeah.
- 8:36Most people do.
- 8:37Yeah.
- 8:38I don't.
- 8:39Why do you think that is?
- 8:40Because I approve myself.
- 8:41You approve yourself.
- 8:42Yeah.
- 8:43I approve.
- 8:44Uh-huh.
- 8:45So it makes me think in kind of, you know, like I heard you say, I was listening
- 8:47to one of your podcasts earlier, you know, 16 years old, kicked out of the house, whatever.
- 8:50It made me wonder how does a, how does a kid go from 16 kicked out of the house and the
- 8:56journey you are on to, who we see here today, who's, I don't know if you fell confident
- 9:00back then?
- 9:01Not always.
- 9:02Not always.
- 9:03No, no, no.
- 9:04I was insecure for a while.
- 9:05Uh-huh.
- 9:06And that makes me really curious is how do you go, how did you go from insecure for a while
- 9:10to now being obviously very confident?
- 9:12You know, ultimately it boils down to life lessons, you know.
- 9:18You just learn along the way, yeah, hopefully.
- 9:21But you know, to me, a lot of people will say, you know, I can't believe you say some
- 9:26of the things you say.
- 9:27And I always say it like what?
- 9:28And they don't have an answer.
- 9:29And I think to myself, why do they think I'm so, you know, and, and, and when it boils
- 9:34down to it, I think it's because I get to say what they wish they could say.
- 9:41Hmm.
- 9:42Well, what are we afraid of that we don't want to say it?
- 9:44I don't know.
- 9:45I don't think what you're afraid of not use specifically, but you in the general context
- 9:49we're using.
- 9:50Yeah.
- 9:51You're afraid of other people's judgment.
- 9:53Uh-huh.
- 9:54Uh-huh.
- 9:55You don't want to be canceled.
- 9:56You don't want to be laughed at.
- 9:57You don't want to feel stupid.
- 9:59I don't care.
- 10:00Why?
- 10:01Because if you think what I said was stupid, that's, that's completely okay with, with
- 10:06me.
- 10:07And what's crazy about the universe, Jeff, is if you truly unauthentically say and,
- 10:14be who you actually are, you're supposed to get rid of certain people that aren't going
- 10:21to like it.
- 10:22Why?
- 10:23Well, do you want to be surrounded by people that don't like you?
- 10:24Don't have your best interest?
- 10:25Hmm.
- 10:26No, you want to be surrounded by people who love you and, and, and have your best interest
- 10:30at heart, right?
- 10:31Yeah.
- 10:32So you say and do what you say, you know, authentically to whom you are.
- 10:36And you're going to repel those people that don't like your attitude.
- 10:40They don't like your style.
- 10:41They don't like your vernacular.
- 10:43They don't like you.
- 10:46And then the ones that do are going to come around.
- 10:48And what's cool about that is, it's like a natural filtering process, mm-hmm.
- 10:58When you, you started your podcast 2018, you've had this company, light speed VT, you
- 11:05have, you know, you do some amazing thing for amazing clients, we'll put links to it
- 11:08in the show notes.
- 11:09Well, what, you know, I wrote down, which is, I think, kind of your misstatement, which
- 11:13is getting knowledge from people who have it to people who need it.
- 11:17Yeah.
- 11:18When did that become a thing for you?
- 11:20Well, it became a thing, in retrospect, it became a thing, probably, when I was about,
- 11:30I don't know, I'd even say 16, you know, when I got booted out of my house, because
- 11:34I remember my dad, my dad was a hard working individual, blue collar, worked his butt
- 11:39off, ethical and, you know, hard working, labor, hard working.
- 11:46But he never got anywhere.
- 11:48And when I look back, it's like, why didn't he succeed financially?
- 11:55And it wasn't because he wasn't willing to work, so what could it have been?
- 11:59Well, he didn't have the right information.
- 12:02He was outbusting his asset at a mill instead of a commission job or building a business.
- 12:12But I think, ultimately, people fail because they don't have the right information.
- 12:19So because I'm in a position to deliver track and measure information with my software,
- 12:27which is what it does.
- 12:30I thought to myself, if I want to live in a world more successful, everyone has to be
- 12:34more successful.
- 12:35And the only way for everyone to be more successful is to get the knowledge from the people
- 12:39who have it to the people who need it so we can all, you know, make more, be more, do
- 12:43more.
- 12:44And so that's when I said, dude, I'm going to make it my mission to get the knowledge
- 12:48from the people who have it to the people who need it or want it.
- 12:52Because if you don't want it, you know, I'm not going to force it down your throat.
- 12:56But usually I like to lead by example, who's going to listen to me if I'm not successful?
- 13:02And were you on your own journey also consuming that information, you know, the personal
- 13:07development, all that kind of jazz, when you're 16 issue or whatever and you started to
- 13:10maybe wake up to, hmm, maybe this ain't working out.
- 13:13I got to go find the information.
- 13:15No, it took me again.
- 13:16It took me a while to learn all that.
- 13:19At 30 years old, I started light speed.
- 13:21Okay.
- 13:22I'm 54 in a couple weeks.
- 13:24So 53.
- 13:25Nice.
- 13:2623, 24 years, it's been.
- 13:29And when I first started, I just wanted to go out and train people how to sell clothes
- 13:34and persuade.
- 13:37I was going to go compete with all the top sales trainers you've heard of, Tom Hopkins,
- 13:42Joe Gerard, Zig Ziglis Gerard, there's a old name, Tom Stuker, Grant Cardone, Joe
- 13:50Verdi, like I was going to go beat all their asses in my opinion.
- 13:56So when I started, that's what I was starting to do, you know, but that didn't work out
- 14:01the way I thought it would.
- 14:02So it morphed and changed and tweaked next thing, you know, they're all my customers.
- 14:07And so it evolved, like most things, yeah, it evolved.
- 14:13I didn't plan to do it all like that.
- 14:17But I tell people, listen, number one, the reason you are where you are in life is your
- 14:24mindset, your skill set, and your habits.
- 14:27And now someone can say, well, you know, I'm worth millions of dollars.
- 14:31Well, that's because of your mindset, your skill set, and your habits.
- 14:35Right.
- 14:36The only other thing I would factor in there is relationships, because I think every
- 14:39dollar comes from a relationship of some kind.
- 14:42Yeah.
- 14:43And the more hands you shake, the more money you make.
- 14:45That's a Bradley original.
- 14:47That's a good one.
- 14:48Yeah.
- 14:49It's because a lot of people are out there trying to get financially better off, and they can't
- 14:54seem to, you know, figure it out.
- 14:56Well, I can promise you one thing.
- 14:59That means you don't have the right relationships.
- 15:01Because if you had the right relationships, you'd have everything you want in life.
- 15:05Everything that you want comes from a relationship of some kind.
- 15:09So how come people aren't out there creating more relationships on a regular basis?
- 15:14Now, there's some listeners right now that are going, oh my God, dude, that is so simple.
- 15:19I can't believe I'm, and then there's some people out there going, well, it's not that
- 15:23easy.
- 15:24Okay.
- 15:25That's a mindset limitation.
- 15:25That is a mindset problem.
- 15:27Mm-hmm.
- 15:28So it goes back to mindset, skill set habits.
- 15:30It's your mindset, your skill set, or your habits, every single time.
- 15:33Yeah.
- 15:34I want to go back to stuff that you said about information, getting information from the
- 15:39people, how about to the people who need it, and that, you know, to be successful or
- 15:44to, you know, achieve certain goals we need information.
- 15:47And for not achieving a certain amount of success, we may lack that information.
- 15:51Right?
- 15:52Basically.
- 15:53Well, obviously, well, so I thought of that, and I'm like, aren't we living in a society
- 15:59that has too much in, like, is there any, like, there's no excuse to not getting the
- 16:04information, right?
- 16:05It's out there.
- 16:06How to present.
- 16:07Okay.
- 16:08So then if it's there, it's just a matter of people just aren't acquiring it.
- 16:11They're not seeking it.
- 16:13Seeking might be a big, a big reason.
- 16:16Okay.
- 16:17Okay.
- 16:18Mm-hmm.
- 16:19Seek.
- 16:20All right.
- 16:21And yee shall find.
- 16:22Right.
- 16:23Yeah.
- 16:24Most people don't seek.
- 16:25They just, they just listen.
- 16:26You just sit on their hands and bitch and complain and wish it was different?
- 16:27100%.
- 16:28Mm-hmm.
- 16:29And to me, that's shocking and surprising.
- 16:32Like, I've got two boys, older, one's going to be 21, one's 18, I don't know.
- 16:37You've got two older boys as well, if I'm correct?
- 16:40Well, I've got seven kids.
- 16:41Seven two.
- 16:42Two of them are boys, yeah.
- 16:43Two of them are boys older.
- 16:44And I'm always trying to feed them that information, right, the mindset and everything
- 16:50that you're talking about here.
- 16:51Sure.
- 16:52I was curious if, like, you do the same, yes, of course, absolutely.
- 16:55And do you find that they take to it, though?
- 16:58Not necessarily.
- 16:59Yeah.
- 17:00You know, I have people that pay me considerable amount of money to advise them and coach
- 17:06them.
- 17:07Yeah.
- 17:08And my kids don't seem to, you know, want to listen as much.
- 17:12Although, although I think they do in their own way, but they're not like over at my
- 17:18house every day asking questions, you know, really with a notepad like the people that
- 17:22pay me do.
- 17:23Right.
- 17:24You know, they're just, you know, right.
- 17:27But I'm their dad.
- 17:28Right.
- 17:29This is sort of a different filter.
- 17:30Yeah.
- 17:31I'm just, I'm trying to play that bet that's going to pay off 10 or 20 years from now, right,
- 17:35and that they may be hopefully finally kicks in for them and they realize they're doing
- 17:38something that, you know, was related to what they saw or learned from me years before
- 17:43that.
- 17:44Well, I wrote a book called Lessons I Learned the Hardway.
- 17:47It's called the Hardway, but that book is just a series of things that I learned lessons
- 17:53from that coincidentally, I think everyone's going to learn in life.
- 17:58The question is, how long will it take them and how much will it cost them?
- 18:02Yeah.
- 18:03But obviously, make sure they read that book and then the follow up book that's going
- 18:08to come out and then they'll be fine.
- 18:11And of course, they're going to be fine anyway, because oh, dad's bridge.
- 18:14When I don't want to do the Warren Buffett thing, no, no, when I die, my family's getting
- 18:21it all.
- 18:22Maybe a little bit to charity.
- 18:23Nice.
- 18:24Nice.
- 18:25That's good.
- 18:26Because I want them.
- 18:27I mean, I wish my parents would have left me millions of dollars.
- 18:31Now again, maybe growing up kind of lower middle class is a blessing.
- 18:37A lot of times people believe that struggle is a blessing.
- 18:41And I agree with that because like when you go to the gym, it's hard, it's uncomfortable.
- 18:46The uncomfortable is what develops and grows people.
- 18:48So maybe I was fortunate to grow up like I did.
- 18:51But what's crazy is when I look back, I don't think it was all that bad.
- 18:54I thought I had a normal, regular childhood.
- 18:58My kids have it way better than I had it.
- 19:02My parents didn't buy me a car.
- 19:04My parents didn't give me a job.
- 19:05My parents didn't hand me pretty much anything I needed or wanted.
- 19:10I did get it all myself.
- 19:12No, that's the question that I think a lot of us in a similar situation struggle with
- 19:16is have we made it too easy for our kids?
- 19:20I don't think so because again, I don't give them everything.
- 19:25I could give them a lot more.
- 19:27I don't spoil them to a point where like, oh, you don't need that car here.
- 19:31Let's go get you a better car.
- 19:33You just need a car and you need to work.
- 19:37By the way, I let them work for me for money.
- 19:40I don't just give them money.
- 19:42They all work.
- 19:43I've got to work.
- 19:44Yeah, I try to get my, he's probably going to be seeing it at some point, but hey, man,
- 19:48I tried.
- 19:49So for video editing, right, to have me do my video editing, but that kind of petered
- 19:53out.
- 19:55Well, if you want the truth, probably comes down to, didn't really need it.
- 19:59We'll see my son, one of my sons, did video editing for me and coincidentally, learned
- 20:07video editing pretty well and now does it for himself, started another company, partially
- 20:13because of video editing, and now he's doing about 100,000 a month in income.
- 20:18There you go.
- 20:19So it all came from the talent and the education that we gave him to be a video editor.
- 20:24He learned on his own, too, because I didn't give him any formal education.
- 20:26Oh, really?
- 20:27And he found it interesting, something he enjoyed doing.
- 20:30Yeah, I mean, dude, if you're a good editor, man, you're number one in high demand.
- 20:34Number two, when you, when you focus that editing towards marketing, dude, you can blow
- 20:40up your own business, like, you know, good editor with the mind for marketing, invaluable.
- 20:49Okay, heart.
- 20:56So I was reading some of, hopped on LinkedIn and looking at some of the comments, people
- 21:01had to say about you, Jay Duran.
- 21:04Oh, yeah, what Jay have to say.
- 21:08Jay said that what stood out for him about you is that you've got a heart, again, this
- 21:13goes back to kind of what we opened up with that, you know what I mean?
- 21:16You've got a heart of gold, a very, you know, a caring heart, you're kind, and you've
- 21:20got incredible vision.
- 21:22Well, thanks, Jay, whatever you are, Jay, wherever you are, I would agree.
- 21:28Checks in the mail, I would agree.
- 21:31You would agree.
- 21:32I'm what you call kind, generous.
- 21:40I just think if everyone just goes through life being kind and generous, the world's
- 21:46going to be a much better place.
- 21:47Having empathy?
- 21:48Well, I mean, sure, I mean, what's kind to me, though, does that mean like you hold the
- 21:53door for the, you know, person or by the girl's cookies or manners?
- 21:58Okay.
- 21:59Yeah.
- 22:00All right.
- 22:01So kind is patience.
- 22:02Kind is you're not out to hurt anybody and you're mindful of the damage and things that
- 22:07you're capable of.
- 22:08Hmm.
- 22:09So do no harm.
- 22:10Yeah.
- 22:11I mean, like, you know, you're kind.
- 22:12Like, I'm, I'm a kind individual.
- 22:14If I can help you, I will with, and I don't really care if I can, if it can be returned
- 22:19or not.
- 22:20Right.
- 22:21I definitely sense that, but I think, I think more people need to be kind.
- 22:27There's a lot of people out there in the world that have been screwed and cheated and
- 22:34burned so many times they've changed.
- 22:37And I always tell people, don't change the way you are just to, you know, kind of protect
- 22:43yourself against what could happen because what'll happen is, you know, you change yourself
- 22:49and that's not good because you might change into something you're actually not.
- 22:54And then you're going to attract people that you shouldn't be attracting and you're
- 22:56going to repel people you shouldn't be repelling.
- 22:59So I always say, don't change the way you treat people, change the people you treat.
- 23:07So if I'm, if I'm nice kind and generous and, and people take advantage of it, I just
- 23:12quit being nice kind and generous to those people.
- 23:15I'm still nice kind of generous over here.
- 23:18Interesting.
- 23:19Okay.
- 23:20Fine, fine new people to be nice and kind to.
- 23:22All right.
- 23:23Here's a pivot.
- 23:25Sales people.
- 23:26Born or made.
- 23:28Made.
- 23:29Okay.
- 23:31What makes a good salesperson or a great salesperson?
- 23:34Well, number one, empathy.
- 23:36Number two, the ability to ask great questions and more importantly, listen to the answer.
- 23:43And then problem solve really because I mean, sales is essentially solving someone's problems.
- 23:50So if you get really good at solving problems and you get really good at asking good questions
- 23:53so you get really good at listening and you're empathetic on top of it, you're a shoe
- 23:58in.
- 24:00I think you're born that way.
- 24:01I think you develop those things.
- 24:04Anybody can be good at sales?
- 24:06100%.
- 24:07Just a matter of again, information, learning, knowledge, application, well, we're all on
- 24:13sales anyway.
- 24:14Yeah.
- 24:15Like that's what's funny is when people are like, oh, I hate sales people.
- 24:17I hate sales.
- 24:19Everyone's in sales.
- 24:21The question is, is are you any good?
- 24:23Yeah.
- 24:24And what's funny is like people that don't necessarily think they're in a sales job.
- 24:29That would never take a sales job.
- 24:32They're still selling.
- 24:34Like my receptionist is selling people all the time.
- 24:37You know, everybody sells somebody on something.
- 24:40You sell your kids on eating their food or cleaning up their plate or doing their chores
- 24:44or getting better grades or not doing the wrong things when they're out by themselves
- 24:49and their friends.
- 24:50You're selling your boss on taking a day off, et cetera, et cetera.
- 24:53You're selling your spouse on where to go eat and where to take vacations.
- 24:57You're selling somebody something every day.
- 25:02So we're all in sales in that regard.
- 25:04The question is, is are you any good?
- 25:06The difference between bad and good is the bad don't know they're doing it.
- 25:12Yeah.
- 25:13How do you feel about scripting?
- 25:15I think scripting is good to train in the beginning to where I don't think you should
- 25:20use a script.
- 25:21I think you should use a script to internalize so you know what to say.
- 25:27If I were going to train salespeople and I needed a script, I would give them a script
- 25:31so they know what to say, but I wouldn't let them read the script.
- 25:35I'm going to train them until they no longer need the script, but the script is how I train
- 25:40them.
- 25:41I am back and forth on scripts, but if you call me and I hear you reading a script,
- 25:47that gives me permission to hang up.
- 25:48You're a machine.
- 25:49You're a low-waged little machine and it doesn't matter.
- 25:54Click.
- 25:55On your ass when I hear a script, when it's completely wrote, there's no emotion, there's
- 26:00no connection to the person on the other end, but when I hear, when I hear, it may be a
- 26:04script that I'm hearing, but I don't hear a script because you've internalized it so
- 26:07well that you now are just saying what that script said, but nine times out of 10 in your
- 26:12own words.
- 26:13Well, now you're a human being, a lot harder to hang up to.
- 26:17For me, some people, they don't care.
- 26:19I care.
- 26:20I think most people care, especially when you can tell that it's a script and with all
- 26:23the awkward pauses and things like that, and you give them a response they weren't expecting.
- 26:28One of the best things I ever heard about two things I heard about scripting, one of them
- 26:32which is the worst time to figure out what to say is in the moment you need to say it.
- 26:37Like when you're having a sales call or a sales situation, you should know where that conversation
- 26:41is likely going to go and be prepared for that, right?
- 26:43And then the second one was you're already scripting, right?
- 26:46You just probably suck.
- 26:47You just don't know it.
- 26:48Well, the best way it would be to lead the conversation.
- 26:51Yeah.
- 26:52You know exactly where it is.
- 26:53That's true.
- 26:54Because the person asking the questions, right?
- 26:57You're she's in control, just like you're in the mortgage space.
- 27:01Do you know the very first person that was ever paid a mortgage to?
- 27:07His name was Morton Gage.
- 27:11Morton Gage.
- 27:13That's why you pay up Mort Gage.
- 27:15Are you serious?
- 27:16Mortgage.
- 27:17This is a fact.
- 27:18No.
- 27:19But what's funny is I was at a mortgage conference doing a keynote one time.
- 27:23I don't.
- 27:24There was a bunch of people in the audience and I told that story to you and it was surprising
- 27:27how many people believed me.
- 27:29Well, whoever's most certain, right?
- 27:32And when two people meet, yeah, well, you had me at the last conference I saw you had.
- 27:38You had me at buttertits.
- 27:40Like, that's when it all I was like, that's it.
- 27:42That's the guy, man.
- 27:43I got to have him on the show like again, because that was that was you just being so
- 27:47honest.
- 27:48And I forget exactly what you said.
- 27:49Do you remember that?
- 27:50Like, how you use that in your, in your talk?
- 27:53Probably.
- 27:54Probably.
- 27:55It's something to do with like, you recently really took control of your fitness, decided
- 27:58to like, work out and all that kind of jazz and I don't know like where that phrase came
- 28:00from.
- 28:01Well, I mean, dude, you take off your shirt sometimes and you look in the mirror and you
- 28:04realize that you're not very firm and you know, you're, you're, you're what's supposed
- 28:09to be chest looks more like, you know, bag filled with butter, so I just said buttertits.
- 28:17You said buttertits in the moment up there on the, on the stage.
- 28:21That was awesome.
- 28:22That was one of the best moments in live.
- 28:23Well, it's not the only time I've ever said buttertits.
- 28:26I'll use that, I'll use that to describe kind of that frumpy, dumpy body that a lot of
- 28:31us have.
- 28:32Yeah, yeah.
- 28:33Right.
- 28:34But so yeah, we're about the same age.
- 28:35I'm 57 and so I'm, I'm curious.
- 28:38You have a trainer?
- 28:39No.
- 28:40You don't.
- 28:41Do it yourself.
- 28:42Yeah.
- 28:43Go to the gym.
- 28:44Yeah.
- 28:45Lift heavy stuff.
- 28:46Yeah.
- 28:47Yeah.
- 28:48Lift weights.
- 28:49Very basic.
- 28:50Very simple.
- 28:51Yeah.
- 28:52How many times a week?
- 28:53Five.
- 28:54Five.
- 28:55Back to back.
- 28:56Are you spacing out in between?
- 28:57Are you 30 minutes a cardio when I wake up?
- 28:58Mm-hmm.
- 28:59I got to get the blood flowing.
- 29:00Mm-hmm.
- 29:01And then I hit the weights usually at nine.
- 29:02Mm-hmm.
- 29:03At night?
- 29:04Mm-hmm.
- 29:05Oh, really?
- 29:06Yeah.
- 29:07Wow.
- 29:08And just do a body part a day.
- 29:09How the hell you do that at nine o'clock at night, man?
- 29:10You're ready to just like, you know, chill.
- 29:11Well, I've been chillin' all day.
- 29:14OK.
- 29:16Are you into the cold plunging and all that stuff?
- 29:18No, but someone's sending me a cold plunger.
- 29:20I'm about to try it.
- 29:21You got to try it out, man.
- 29:22I did it last year, and I just actually
- 29:25restarted it this morning.
- 29:26I was cold up a little about 20 minutes before getting here.
- 29:31But it's life-changing.
- 29:32I hear.
- 29:32I hear there's a lot of great benefits to it.
- 29:35Yeah.
- 29:36Yeah.
- 29:36I mean, the whole do something hard every day.
- 29:38That's part of it, right?
- 29:39I don't know about that.
- 29:40Get uncomfortable.
- 29:41That's not hard.
- 29:42Depends on the temperature.
- 29:44Get in a 45 degree body of water.
- 29:46It's not hard.
- 29:47All right.
- 29:48You jump in it.
- 29:50It's hard.
- 29:50It's hard for Bradley.
- 29:52Hard is like long, laborious, back breaking work.
- 29:58Or let's say you had no arms, no legs,
- 30:00and your bathtub was nine feet tall.
- 30:02Getting in it's hard.
- 30:04That's hard, yes.
- 30:05So like difficulty.
- 30:08It's not difficult other than maybe mentally
- 30:12to get in.
- 30:13So the mental game, I don't attribute to hard,
- 30:17even though it is hard to get in that some bitch cold,
- 30:20but hard meaning mentally.
- 30:24I always eat for some reason,
- 30:26equate hard to physical things.
- 30:28Sure.
- 30:29Yeah.
- 30:31That makes sense.
- 30:32Yeah, physically, it's not hard to get in a bathtub.
- 30:36No, assuming you've got the limbs and all that kind of stuff
- 30:39to do that, but let's just face it.
- 30:41It's usually today what keeps people
- 30:43from getting where they want to go
- 30:45isn't the physical side of things.
- 30:46100%.
- 30:47It's the mental.
- 30:48100%.
- 30:49If you had a bomb, I'd drop it on there.
- 30:52We have a bomb.
- 30:53Yeah, do listen.
- 30:54If someone listening wants the secret,
- 30:56it's mindset, skill set habits.
- 30:59Your mindset is why you are where you are.
- 31:01Wherever that is, good or bad.
- 31:04Your skill set and your habits are to blame.
- 31:09So when someone's overweight, they can't get in shape,
- 31:11it's their habits.
- 31:12It's their mindset.
- 31:13It's their skill set.
- 31:15If they're broke and fat and got butter tits,
- 31:20it's their mindset, their skill set, and their habits.
- 31:23That's all it is.
- 31:24So if people realize how simple that actually is,
- 31:27just go focus on the mindset, the skill set,
- 31:30and the habits, and you'll go anywhere you want to go.
- 31:33And you can keep looking back towards them.
- 31:36And like I said, if I was going to add a fourth,
- 31:37it would be relationships.
- 31:39Because a lot of times your mindset's great,
- 31:41your skill set's great, your habits are great,
- 31:43but you don't have the right relationships,
- 31:45and it's still kind of difficult getting ahead.
- 31:47Because it's not what you know it's who you know you've heard that.
- 31:50I think it's both, but at the end of the day,
- 31:53mindset, skill set habits, that's 99.9% of people's problem.
- 31:58Yeah, I 100% agree with that.
- 31:59And I'm thinking back to you were 16 or whatever.
- 32:05I was probably roughly around that age or so, 18 or 20,
- 32:09left home.
- 32:09That's when I got the job for 20 Robins,
- 32:11when I was about 25, and started reading the books,
- 32:14the personal development, all that kind of stuff.
- 32:16And it was really the first time that it opened my mind up
- 32:18to the fact that, hey dude, you can take control of your mindset.
- 32:22Whatever this crap is that you're feeding yourself right now,
- 32:24you can stop that dialogue and change it.
- 32:28Similar journey for you, or when did that light bulb go on?
- 32:31You're like, holy shit, your head's full of crap.
- 32:34If it was, I don't know, but mine was for a bit.
- 32:37Well, mine probably still is.
- 32:41It is a battle that goes on for sure.
- 32:43Yeah, but I mean, I think I realized,
- 32:48I don't want to say it like, you know, 35 or so,
- 32:50but that's about when it seems like I realized,
- 32:53because again, I already knew I just didn't realize,
- 32:57see the difference.
- 32:58There's things that like, especially when you're learning
- 33:02things and reading books and you're like,
- 33:04why already knew that, but I forgot.
- 33:06So it's like, you remembered what you forgot,
- 33:10what you knew, but you knew it,
- 33:13but you just didn't remember it,
- 33:15or it wasn't on the forefront.
- 33:16So I think in most cases, like I've always been aware
- 33:20that we can control what we listen to
- 33:25and we can control how we react.
- 33:29But I wasn't aware of it.
- 33:31In other words, I knew it, but I didn't really use it.
- 33:36In other words, I allowed people to influence me,
- 33:39I allowed, you know, and by the way,
- 33:42I was unaware of a lot of negative self-talk
- 33:44when I was younger, but around 35, I think,
- 33:47is when I started realizing like,
- 33:50you can totally control the narrative.
- 33:53And you should, very important.
- 33:56Read a book called As a Man Thinketh,
- 33:59the Four Agreements, Thinking Grow Rich.
- 34:02Those three books, people always say,
- 34:03what three books would you have me read
- 34:05if you wanted me to be successful?
- 34:08Those three.
- 34:09Yeah, yeah, I remember reading As a Man Thinketh,
- 34:11that was just life changing.
- 34:13Like to see his talk about difficult situation, right?
- 34:17Circumstances.
- 34:18And like, how do you see the end result?
- 34:22How do you see the bright future out of that, right?
- 34:23How do you get out of that?
- 34:24That's a lesson right there in mindset for sure.
- 34:28But I'm thinking like this, do you feel
- 34:29that a lot of people are walking around
- 34:32into trans though, they're not even aware
- 34:34that their mindset is determining their direction?
- 34:38Thousand percent.
- 34:40Like, there's certain stores I go into
- 34:42that rhyme with Walmart sometimes, you know?
- 34:45No offense to Walmart, but if we're gonna speak my mind,
- 34:48that's one of my little things I have,
- 34:49where I'm like, you can't drag me in there.
- 34:52Why?
- 34:52Come on, why?
- 34:54Because I find that for me, if you want me to be totally honest,
- 35:00it's, I see that is a representation at scale
- 35:05of people not being self-aware.
- 35:08I don't follow you.
- 35:12You know how you watch, like, all the videos that you watch.
- 35:15You know the walls are some of the richest people in there.
- 35:17I'm not talking about the owners.
- 35:18I'm talking about the people who go and spend money.
- 35:20Oh, I got you.
- 35:20You know what I'm saying?
- 35:21Dude, I'm in there sometimes.
- 35:23My wife's in there.
- 35:24That's a gross ceiling of that.
- 35:25I said what's on my mind, now I'm getting in trouble.
- 35:28You're not getting in trouble.
- 35:29You're getting, you're getting, you're getting feedback.
- 35:31I'm getting feedback.
- 35:32There you go.
- 35:33Desired, isn't it?
- 35:34It is, it is.
- 35:35So not everybody, obviously, but, again, it's just my personal,
- 35:38we all have our personal little things.
- 35:40You don't go in there because you think everybody's mindless
- 35:42and stupid.
- 35:43Not everybody, but a higher percentage.
- 35:45A lot of dumbasses in there.
- 35:46There you go.
- 35:47Yep.
- 35:48That may be true, but I'm just saying,
- 35:50where are the fights break out and grocery stores?
- 35:52But there's also a lot.
- 35:54I've never seen a fight break out of Walmart.
- 35:56Well, I can show you someone.
- 35:57I can tell you that there's just as many dumbasses
- 36:00at Neiman Marcus.
- 36:01Probably true.
- 36:02Who the hell would pay for, like, shit,
- 36:05that expensive for no reason?
- 36:08We call it needless markup.
- 36:09Right.
- 36:10But, you know, to me, I think the only reason
- 36:13I'm kind of giving it a little pushback is because I read
- 36:16Made in America with Sam Walton, and if you read his book,
- 36:20Man, you hear how they built that whole thing.
- 36:23And so I was thinking from an owner perspective.
- 36:27Which is your mindset.
- 36:28And not only that, but behind what he was thinking,
- 36:30he was thinking, I need a place where I can give people,
- 36:33you know, good deals on volume, really.
- 36:37Right.
- 36:38And how he built that company.
- 36:39And really, that's still true today to where, you know,
- 36:42people say, well, the Walmart's not the cheapest.
- 36:44They don't claim to be the cheapest first of all.
- 36:46Second of all, you know, he set out to do something
- 36:49when he achieved it.
- 36:50Costco, Walmart, Sam's Club, those, you know, low wholesale.
- 36:55I think Costco's is 15% over what they cost.
- 36:58Now, for me, Costco's a different experience.
- 37:01Walking through there.
- 37:01I see, I think the idiots go to Costco.
- 37:04I'm not saying I thought, you know that Costco
- 37:06doesn't even bag your groceries.
- 37:08They don't do their Walmart anymore either.
- 37:10Well, they don't.
- 37:11It's all self-check out.
- 37:12See, it is not true.
- 37:14It is true.
- 37:14I went into one in Arizona and I was a target out of that.
- 37:16Yeah, see, my wife goes to Walmart for, like, you know,
- 37:20I know, I get it.
- 37:21I was in there.
- 37:22Chris Rose.
- 37:23No, it's nothing.
- 37:24Buying some stuff and I hadn't been on a Walmart
- 37:28and I don't know when.
- 37:29I was over relatives in Arizona and I walk in.
- 37:31I'm just like, where the heck's all the workers, man?
- 37:33Everybody's gone.
- 37:35And it's like all self-check out.
- 37:36It's like, it's everywhere.
- 37:38Now it's like, do it yourself.
- 37:39And there's a whole comedy routine on that too.
- 37:41Have you ever been to Home Depot?
- 37:42Yeah.
- 37:43Dude, you can't ask a question to say that.
- 37:44Nobody knows anything.
- 37:46Nobody knows anything and you just wonder
- 37:47and wear everything.
- 37:48This is a bigger problem with two, right?
- 37:49If it's going on.
- 37:50And they're successful.
- 37:52Hmm, that's true.
- 37:55I guess they're just like people will figure it out.
- 37:58F, aisle F, that's where they are.
- 38:00Well, where's the competition?
- 38:02True, right?
- 38:03Well, it's Home Depot and Lowe's.
- 38:05That's it.
- 38:06I haven't seen another one.
- 38:07Hmm.
- 38:08So again, if a third one opened up
- 38:10where there was actual people that were helping people,
- 38:12I'll bet you it would be way more popular.
- 38:14Way more expensive, too.
- 38:16And that's why maybe it's not a good...
- 38:19I'd rather pay more.
- 38:20Yeah, for sure.
- 38:21Get better service.
- 38:22No, I agree.
- 38:23I'm in that way as well.
- 38:24All right, let's kind of close it out with this.
- 38:26I'm Keith and I on the clock.
- 38:27What's thinking about this?
- 38:30What's most important to you?
- 38:37Health.
- 38:38Health?
- 38:39Has it always been health there?
- 38:41Yeah, I mean, I think if you're gonna put it
- 38:43into, you know, level of importance, I would say,
- 38:50number one is my health, number two are relationships,
- 38:53and number three is finances.
- 38:57Money.
- 38:58Okay.
- 39:01Why is health most important?
- 39:03Well, because without that, you'd give up everything else
- 39:05to get it back.
- 39:08Health is the first wealth.
- 39:11Right now, I guarantee if you were worth a billion dollars
- 39:14and you knew you were dying,
- 39:15or you just felt like shit every day,
- 39:18and I came along and I said,
- 39:19dude, you give me a billion dollars
- 39:20and I'll have you feel like a freaking 18-year-old kid
- 39:23that just got off a freaking high school for the summer.
- 39:27You'd be like, done.
- 39:29Because, you know, health, you cannot.
- 39:33Yeah.
- 39:34You don't want to mess with.
- 39:36So the most important thing would be health.
- 39:39Okay, let me try this question on you.
- 39:40I heard this the other day, listen to the podcast.
- 39:42This, I guess, was asked of a lot of young people,
- 39:45younger people.
- 39:46If you could trade places, this is,
- 39:47they asked it of 20-something-year-olds.
- 39:49If you could trade places with Warren Buffett today, right?
- 39:52And let's assume he's 90, right?
- 39:53If you could trade places Warren Buffett today, would you?
- 39:56Hell no.
- 39:56Why?
- 39:57Look at him.
- 39:58That's a lot.
- 40:00Are you kidding me, dude?
- 40:01Number one, number two, because money's not everything.
- 40:04Right.
- 40:05All he has more than me,
- 40:07excuse me.
- 40:08It's money.
- 40:09Yeah.
- 40:10Yeah.
- 40:11I don't care.
- 40:12I've got enough, number one.
- 40:13Right.
- 40:14Like, by the way, you know the difference
- 40:15between a billion and a hundred billion?
- 40:17No.
- 40:18Nothing.
- 40:19Okay.
- 40:20Anything a hundred billion here can do a billion here.
- 40:22In terms of the impact of your life and all that.
- 40:24And if you really think about it,
- 40:25someone with a hundred million is just about the same
- 40:27as someone with a billion.
- 40:28Mm-hmm.
- 40:29Now, people say, well, Brad, aren't you, aren't you,
- 40:31isn't your goal to be a billion?
- 40:33Yes.
- 40:34Because I think a billion is the new, you know,
- 40:37wow.
- 40:38Yeah.
- 40:39Like, that's hard to get to.
- 40:40Yeah.
- 40:41Anyone can get to a million nowadays.
- 40:42Mm-hmm.
- 40:43So you have to be at least 10 million just to become a millionaire.
- 40:45Yeah.
- 40:46That's the new millionaire.
- 40:47Deca millionaire.
- 40:48Interesting.
- 40:49Okay.
- 40:50And I want to be ultimately a super centurion.
- 40:53Uh-huh.
- 40:54Right.
- 40:55Interesting.
- 40:56That's someone who lives to a hundred or more.
- 40:58Mm-hmm.
- 40:59Yeah.
- 41:00I have this thing that I'm working on my 70 year old self right now.
- 41:03Remember, I should change.
- 41:04I do.
- 41:05I do.
- 41:06I mean, based on human averages.
- 41:09Way to make me feel great.
- 41:11You better wake you up.
- 41:13Like, I sit there.
- 41:14Well, I mean, like, I have been.
- 41:15And it's just that's why you, why do I do what I do?
- 41:18Health wise, right?
- 41:19Why do you, we do that?
- 41:21Because you're not playing the game for today.
- 41:23You're playing it for 10, 20 years from now.
- 41:25All right.
- 41:26Oh, 100%.
- 41:27But I mean, if you think about it,
- 41:28the average life expectancy is 78.
- 41:31Yeah.
- 41:32Which means you only got 21 years.
- 41:34I'm on the other side.
- 41:35And 21 years, as we know, goes by just like this.
- 41:38Right.
- 41:39And then you're done.
- 41:40Now, you hope you get that long.
- 41:42Right.
- 41:43Right.
- 41:44There's no guarantee you'll get any older.
- 41:45Right.
- 41:46Fortunately with medical technology and innovations, I think we are soon going to be seeing
- 41:55150s.
- 41:56Really?
- 41:57200s.
- 41:58In a decade?
- 41:59What do you mean?
- 42:00Yeah.
- 42:01But I think we'll see, you know, people living to 150.
- 42:06Wow.
- 42:07Now, I hope to be one of them.
- 42:09But, you know, if I were to die tomorrow, dude, I had a pretty damn good ride.
- 42:14Yeah.
- 42:15And I think I've impacted a lot of lives.
- 42:17And I think the only reason I'd want to stick around longer is to watch all that impact.
- 42:24And what it did to the world.
- 42:28Is that, I was thinking about your content strategy.
- 42:33And if you, you know, actually have one or if like, what's the source of the content you put out?
- 42:39You know, what are you trying to achieve impact with that?
- 42:43Aside from the obvious, build a personal brand.
- 42:45Right, all that.
- 42:46Yeah, but like, see, this is the funny part.
- 42:49I didn't intentionally or with a strategy.
- 42:53Yeah.
- 42:54Do anything.
- 42:55Like, I'm going to put some stuff out.
- 42:57No, I mean, in the very beginning, I would do it like everyone else.
- 43:00And I would try to think, what should I put out there?
- 43:02What do people need to hear?
- 43:03How will I look cool?
- 43:04What can I say to make people think I'm this or that or the other thing?
- 43:07And then at one point in time, I didn't have any time to produce content or create content.
- 43:13Right.
- 43:14And so I just told my camera guy to put the camera on and follow me around and just capture what I'm doing.
- 43:19And we'll worry about content later, basically.
- 43:22And that's when everything started blowing up.
- 43:25People are like, dude, you look, you know, I love your content.
- 43:28It's so real.
- 43:29And I'm like, that's because it is real.
- 43:30They're like, what do you mean?
- 43:31I'm like, well, dude, you're seeing me talk to someone for real.
- 43:34You're seeing me do what I do for real.
- 43:36And then it became easy to make content.
- 43:38So now I don't really have a strategy other than, you know, let a camera follow me around.
- 43:45Now my team might have a strategy.
- 43:47Right.
- 43:48And the team, you know, watches what I say.
- 43:51So I don't get canceled.
- 43:52You know, you can say certain words.
- 43:54It'll get you suppressed.
- 43:55You know, ask Andrew Tate.
- 43:57Yeah.
- 43:58Right.
- 43:59He's got big issues right now.
- 44:00Right.
- 44:01But they try to make sure I don't say vaccine and COVID and all the shit I'm not supposed to be saying.
- 44:08Or the mainstream won't like you.
- 44:11But I just, I just, I'm just letting the camera follow me.
- 44:15Yeah.
- 44:16That's actually probably the best strategy if you're doing something of interest, right?
- 44:20For somebody to watch.
- 44:21Well, if you're not doing something of interest, that's your sign.
- 44:24Yeah.
- 44:25Because I'm interesting.
- 44:26I've taught people, you know, how to do what I did.
- 44:29Yeah.
- 44:30And I guess the main way I say it is, you know, film yourself, be in yourself, talk into your employees,
- 44:38talk into your spouses, you know, doing what you do, talk into your friends,
- 44:42talk into your customers, close and deals, do, you know, go show them what it is you're doing.
- 44:47And they're like, well, I'm not really doing very much.
- 44:50Well, that's your problem.
- 44:52If you're not doing anything, use that as a reason to do something.
- 44:57Like, for example, I say yes to things like this because it's content.
- 45:02I say yes to things like this because, you know, it's, we're getting knowledge out to people.
- 45:08Right.
- 45:09All of the reasons I do things, these type of things fit into them.
- 45:14So if you're not doing anything, use this as a reason to start doing something.
- 45:19Yeah.
- 45:20That's cool.
- 45:21I thought we were going to talk mortgages and I was going to be like, I'm not really in the mortgage space too much.
- 45:25But if you ask me, whether you're, whether you're in the mortgage space, the real estate space, the franchise, I don't care where you are.
- 45:34You want to make more money?
- 45:37Shake more hands.
- 45:38Period.
- 45:39And that's where marketing comes in.
- 45:41Yeah.
- 45:42And these are kind of virtual handshakes with media and content.
- 45:44Dude, I can go leave comments on a social media post and form a relationship.
- 45:48Yeah.
- 45:49I can go into a Facebook group.
- 45:50I can go, I can, you know, create a personal brand.
- 45:53I can post every day.
- 45:55If you post three or four times a day per channel, six channels, that's freaking 18 to 24 videos per day that you're posting.
- 46:02Dude, what's going to happen?
- 46:05You're going to start thinking.
- 46:07Why?
- 46:08Because you have to think before you talk.
- 46:10I hope.
- 46:11And then you start to realize that's my opinion on this.
- 46:14That's my opinion on that.
- 46:15Then you start to get a little bit more convinced and certain in who you are and what you believe.
- 46:21And that's when you start to stand up a little straighter.
- 46:24And that's when people start to call you arrogant, by the way, because, you know, who are you to be so sure about things?
- 46:29Right.
- 46:30You know, none of us are this sure.
- 46:32Well, speak for yourself.
- 46:34Like, I'm sure knowing that if what I say offend somebody, that's their problem.
- 46:41Why?
- 46:42Because I know myself, dude, I'm a kind, generous individual.
- 46:46I'm out to help the world.
- 46:48And I'm out to help individually or collectively, but I'm out to help.
- 46:53So if you don't like me, bro, that is your problem.
- 46:56Because I am nothing not to like.
- 46:59There is zero that I do that is unlikable.
- 47:02I love it.
- 47:04That's a bomb right there.
- 47:05That's a good note to wrap on too.
- 47:07There is zero that Brad does.
- 47:09That's unlikely.
- 47:10That's correct.
