Guest: Jay Doran. Start thinking! Episode 120 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL).

Jay Doran's second appearance on Dropping Bombs is even more explosive than his first (one of the top episodes to date!). Jay and Brad have a certain alignment in their core values and their mission, but that doesn't mean they always agree. Here are some of the nuggets you will hear on today's episode: At this moment in history, thanks to major developments in technology, the spoken word is more powerful than the written word. Everyone in the world has the power to teach and educate, the power to spread the knowledge. The goal is to get the knowledge from the people who have it to the people who need it. Be selfishly selfless and read, write and speak daily with an attitude of openness, curiosity and observation. Execute on that and tell people your truth. How do we eliminate conflict? Over time, with the evolution of social consciousness, people will think more which, in turn, will increase their love and acceptance of each other. You are a filter between what is not yet, what can be and what you manifest through your word, thought, ideation, belief, action, reaction, habituation and alignment of other individuals. Read a book (or listen to an audiobook), any book and write down everything you disagree or agree with in that book - you will come out being a better person in the end. Culture Matters helps executives bring out and define their knowledge and share it with their company, now Jay Doran wants to talk to you. The purpose of Jay's company is to help people uncover their genius, their vision is to live in a world where every man, woman and child takes responsibility to read, write and speak every day. Jay thinks that each and every person has something to say, so he encourages you to start today and write down your thoughts about this episode (whether you agree or disagree) and send them to Jay Doran on Facebook or Instagram and he will have a conversation with you. Don't forget to share this episode!

Bomb of the Year. Episode 119 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL).

For the 119th episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad sits down solo to talk directly with the Bomb Squad about a timely issue right before New Year's resolution time: Start liking—and believing in—yourself. Today. Want a taste? "Too many people don't know what they believe it, what they'll go to war for, what they'll die for. All they do is parrot someone else's ideas. You need to figure out who you are, throw your own thoughts down, and figure out what YOU stand for." True happiness doesn't lie in a nice car or a yacht. It lies in reaching your potential. But, to do that, you need to understand what you value and what it is you're capable of achieving. So, go ahead, press play, and think about what YOU are capable of achieving starting today.

Guest: Steve Sims. Get Back Up. Episode 118 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL).

Steve Sims, Founder of The Bluefish luxury concierge company, returns for the 118th episode of Dropping Bombs. Over a bomb-packed episode, Brad and Steve talk about how to stop over-complicating shit. Here are some highlights: Why can't people understand authenticity? You're either who you are or you're not. Everyone's wearing too many shields, it's the emperor's clothes all over again. Don't change the way you treat people; change the people you treat. There are so many kind people who get screwed and wind up bitter. Instead, continue to be kind and stick around people who appreciate you. How to teach your kids strength of character. You see someone in a 5K suit, expensive watch and, financed car--all the landmarks of a successful person--but they don't open the door for someone. You've got to trust your gut when evaluating others. Money isn't the best currency, relationships and value are. Audit your inner circle. Stick with the people who will stick with you. On the flip side, you need good friends who challenge you—in a GOOD way. Never follow the herd. No one who's done anything fantastic has done so by following others. At the end of the day, you only do the stuff you work on so that you can spend more time doing what you love to do. Make hay while the sun shines, but don't forget to spend time doing what you love.

Guest: Casey Adams. Don't Compete. Collaborate. Episode 117 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL).

For the 117th episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad sits down with 18-year-old entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Build Your Empire, Casey Adams. Build Your Empire goes further than your average mastermind group. Instead of meet-ups, members can actually move into the Build Your Empire house where they'll be given all the resources any up and coming entrepreneur needs to succeed! By providing an educational platform, bringing mentors to the table, and keeping members motivated 24/7, Build Your Empire inspires members to invest in themselves while creating a cult-like brand. Since both Casey Adams and Brad are all about getting knowledge from the people who have it, to the people who need it so we can live in a more successful world, you know there's going to be some serious bombs dropped! Here are the highlights: Patience isn't a good thing to have. It's bullsh*t and you don't want it in your life. Ask yourself, "How can I prove myself and be different from the other people in this space?" If you want to teach someone correctly, you need to start with good content. Then, you need to repeat and practice until you learn it, then you can teach it. The difference between training and going to an event, is the difference between making $1000 and $100-million. Stop looking for someone to recognize your status. Invest in yourself, become better than you are, and you'll get recognition. Understanding your audience is important, because putting out content that you believe in AND resonates with them in a genuine way is the key to growing your brand following.

Over an hour, Brad and Tyler explore challenge each other's ideas and comfort zones in the name of growth. Here are some highlights: Quit having opinions on shit you don't know about.

You'll be surprised at the number of bombs dropped in this one! Here are additional highlights of Episode 115: How do deal with disappointment: "I don't think about it. If you get the bad stuff out of your head and keep the good, your life will be great." On giving up: "Never quit. If you can put all your work into it, eventually, you'll get it." On the importance of making friends: "If you don't socialize enough when you're young, you won't be able to stick up for yourself at all when you're older." On reaching your goals: "If you want to achieve it, work hard. If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself. Don't work for somebody else. They'll take all the credit for your hard work!"

Guest: Nick Long. The Entrepreneur Whisperer. Episode 114 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL).

Is there anything about your life you'd like to change? Then plug in your headphones and shut off any distractions, because today Brad Lea sits down with Nick Long; entrepreneur, business leader, and CEO of MediaMix365. Nick is known as the "entrepreneur whisperer" for his success in helping men gain clarity and live a life in four-dimension. That means taking care of your physical body, your relationships, your bank accounts, and your overall being. Nick calls this approach the "Four B's": Body, Being, Balance, and Business. In this episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad and Nick talk about the importance of consciously touching on each of those four areas daily. That means asking yourself, "What did I do for my body, my being, my life balance, and my business?" each and every day. Here are a few highlights: You are your own guru. You're the greatest solution you've ever had access to. Your money is a reflection of the value you place on yourself. It's the measuring stick for self-worth. No one WITH money says money doesn't buy happiness, it's only the people without it. Stop whining that money won't do what you want and start figuring out how to get some. Why watch everyone else's life? Why not create a life that deserves to be watched? Anxiety occurs when there's a disconnect between your heart and your mind. Make an effort -- through journaling or meditation.Comparing your life to someone else is a joy-killer. You will ruin all the happiness in your own life when you start comparing it to someone else's. It takes 28 days to start or stop a habit, but you don't see those results right away -- you need to stay committed. Give your all to something for 90 days and you're guaranteed to see results. Want to learn who you can become in 90 days? Check out his podcast, The Next 90 with Nick Long here.

Guest: Ryan Milton. Get the Fat Off. Episode 113 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL).

For the 113th episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad Lea sits down to chat fitness with Ryan Milton of TeamFFLEX. Ryan has eight years of personal training experience under his belt, and now draws from his expertise to offer online coaching to fitness clients all over the world. While he's still talking shop, today Ryan took a break from his main mission to try and drop a record-breaking number of bombs. Here are the highlights: Not taking care of yourself might lose you more than self-esteem. You can lose out on opportunities, job offers, and the girl or guy of your dreams because they can spot your lack of discipline from a mile away. Fitness isn't just about looking great, it's about confidence. It's about what you can achieve when you believe in yourself. So, ask yourself, what are you robbing the world of by not going after your goals? No one is perfect the first time around. Take a chance, solve your problems, then make adjustments. If you are fat, it's because you're making bad choices. Stop rationalizing. Stop eating until you're full. Stop making excuses. Start producing results. Put forth your best appearance. If someone is judging you BEFORE I meet you, you have less of a chance of getting what you're looking for in life--whether that's a mate, a job, or an opportunity. Are you interested in the convenience of online coaching to help you reach your fitness goals?

Today on Dropping Bombs, Brad and Fam talk about building brands that change lives. Here are a few highlights: You're SURROUNDED by opportunities! In the middle ages, the average person only met 100 people in their lifetime. Now, a photo can get liked by 20,000 people and a status update can change the world. Don't mistake activity with progress. You can't go from watching motivational videos to Netflix n' chill and expect to accomplish anything. The average human lives 26,000 days. You have to use that time correctly. The lessons learned in your life will come from your failures, not your successes. Give yourself that hour when you wake up in the morning, it'll change your life. Yoga, meditation, a gratitude journal. Unplug from your phone. The first hour of your day determines your day. Use that time to create a positive loop for yourself. Focus on the thoughts that should be a priority Not only have both Brad and Fam demonstrated what their businesses can do to give back, but they both also excel at teaching others how to succeed.

Guest: Jay Adkins. Let's Get Real. Episode 107 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL).

For the 107th episode of Dropping Bombs Podcast, Brad sits down with Jay Adkins. As one of six coaches at Agency Sales Academy, Jay helps train insurance agencies on how they can generate more revenue. Today, he and Brad go beyond talking money to identify different measurements of success: How do we break down the walls we've built up over the years? Being honest, open, and vulnerable inspires trust. By doing so, you're showing people that you care. On the flip side, it's important to have the confidence to show people who you really are! Remember, they'll judge you no matter what. It's your job to open your mouth and prove them different. Relationships are the new economy. Your relationships build trust and create new opportunities. Think of all the opportunities you miss by NOT being open. Finally, know that you can ALWAYS get better. Always be learning! Train every day. Improve every day — even if it's just 1%, always be better than yesterday. Remember, if you want the results, you have to be willing to endure the struggle to get there. How does Jay Adkins out-do yesterday? He trains his team EVERY DAY using a mix of the LightSpeed VT platform and weekly live calls. "My team income up 48%. My production is up 62% over ANY OTHER YEAR," says Jay. Brad's response? "I just gave you the scalpel. You're the one wielding it in a way that's creating success."

Guest: Sean V. Bradley. See. Do. Get. Episode 106 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL).

For the 106th episode of Dropping Bombs podcast, Brad sits down with Sean V. Bradley to chat about what it really takes to make it. Here are a few highlights: Relationships are the new economy. You have to be able to build trust. If you get someone else to see your vision, believe in your vision, then you get to recruit allies without having to spend any money. The biggest advantage you can have when faced with obstacles is your mindset. The skills and tools required to get there are only half the battle. If you believe the world is against you, have a victim mindset, or that you don't have what it takes to be successful, you won't be. You have to BELIEVE that you can do something to achieve it. If you're surrounded by individuals who perpetuate a poor mindset, that culture is ingrained in your mindset, you have to put effort into shifting your perspective before you can achieve success. Want to hear more of Sean's advice? Those interested in learning how to crush Google and drive first-page dominance can check out his new book, Win the Game of Googleopoly: Unlocking the Secret Strategy of Search Engines, available on Amazon.

From Resources to Relationships. Episode 105 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL). Guest: Mike Calhoun

Mike Calhoun is the CEO and Founder at Board of Advisors, a private, closed-door mastermind with a select group of the nation's most disruptive business owners, real estate investors, technology providers, and marketers. While Mike assembles members from all four corners of the globe to complete powerful meetings each quarter, today he met up with Brad to talk about the importance of carefully cultivating your network, and what happens when a grade-A group is paired with talented leadership. A few highlights from their chat include: At Board of Advisors, our success is a direct result of focus. A lot of people like to diversify. But we set out to be the top mastermind group on earth. Think of what you want to be, and program yourself. Then your team, then your members. One day, someone decides that phrase you keep saying should be on a pen, mug, or t-shirt. Eventually, that phrase is what you become. Start intertwining yourself with the individuals who can get you where you want to be. You become the mirror of those you surround yourself with. When you're not sharp, someone else is. Treat every meeting like you're one introduction away from the person who can help change your life. On the flip side, when you get to a certain level, you need to invest in the people around you. Bring them into the fold. By helping them to improve, you're leveling up your immediate network in a way that pays off over the long term. Leadership is about integrity. If you say something, you have to do it. You have to follow through. Learning to be a leader will carve against you while you're doing it -- but it makes you better, stronger, and more successful over time. The Q4 Board of Advisors Mastermind is October 29th - November 2nd. Quarterly Board of Advisor's events are only for official members and privileged guests. However, if you think you'd be a good fit, fill out the interview form at www.boardofadvisors.com and they'll give you a call!
