Entrepreneur and Dropping Bombs host Brad Lea pulls up a chair in Nashville and goes fully uncensored.
From building Lightspeed and turning training into millions to why most people quietly choose to stay broke, Brad breaks down his formula: mindset, skill set, and habits. Then it gets spicy: traditional gender roles, “king” energy in marriage, content creation, AI-written songs, borders, government lies, Epstein files, aliens, flat earth rabbit holes, COVID vaccines, and if we really went to the moon.
