Blue Collars To Big Dollars 💰💰💰
From candy bars to cars & education
Meet Brad Lea
“And I noticed that this guy with a little bit of money, changed his whole life. So, once I did that for this guy, and I saw that impact that it had on his life, I thought to myself .. I just want to help other people get that feeling right there. And I had the power to do so." -Brad Lead |Lightspeed VT
Candy Bar 🍫Salesman
Growing up with a blue-collared father, Brad often envied his classmates who lived in nice horses and had money. He decided to lie to the other kids by telling them his father was a real estate mogul, but his truth was quickly revealed. He became an outcast from his peers because he was seen as a “scum” of the neighborhood. Parents wouldn’t even let their kings go out and play with Brad. This experience had taught Brad to become true to others: authentic. He realized that authenticity was necessary to find people that would want to be with him.
Find out how being genuine helped Brad sell the most candy bars at his school and find his interest in becoming a Hollywood movie star ⭐️!
Words of Advice: Brad Lea
"So back to selling cars was always my safety net, I could always go make you know, 5, 10, 15,000 a month selling cars. And that's really all you needed to survive. And that's all I was trying to do ... survive."-Brad Lea|Lightspeed VT
Back To Oregon
Once Brad realized his desire for attention and admiration, he left his hometown and headed to Los Angeles. Through his skill of persuasion, he was able to convince his friend to quit his job and go to California with him. But, Brad’s career had barely had progress there. Instead, he became hooked on crack and sold everything he owned in order to get more of it. It was only through experiencing an almost-dying feeling that helped him snap out of his addiction and return ✈️ to Oregon to pursue his acting career. Though his progression had made a few steps forward, he wasn’t able to find the success he wanted. So, he decided to look towards the marines as a way to find a new direction in his life.
Tune in to learn how his experience in the marines and fire services taught him valuable life lessons that helped guide him through his entrepreneurial career!
