In this episode of Stripping Off with Matt Haycox, I sit down with Brad Lea—sales expert, entrepreneur, and the creator of the revolutionary training platform, Lightspeed VT. Brad’s incredible journey from being kicked out of his home as a teenager to becoming a multimillionaire is packed with raw, actionable advice for anyone ready to take their business and personal brand to the next level.

Brad reveals:

• Why "Start now, get perfect later" is the secret to success. Every master was once a disaster.
• How to embrace failure as part of the process: "Failure isn’t the opposite of success; it’s part of the recipe."
• Why building your personal brand is critical: "If you’re not flooding the internet with your name and face, you’re already losing."
• The power of mentorship: "Learn from those who’ve already succeeded. Success leaves clues."
• How to stop waiting for the perfect moment and take bold risks that pay off.

If you’re an entrepreneur or someone looking to take control of your future, Brad’s no-nonsense advice will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
