Yeah? He's coming on?
Starting point is 00:00:47 Well, he went to jail after that. But yeah, I'm going to do what I can to get him as always sean kelly got with me a great guest for you guys today brad lee how's it going good buddy how you doing good man what's been on your mind lately just trying to make it work you know old, same old. Focusing. Focused on light speed. Focused on light speed. Kind of let that one slip a little bit over the last four years. But fortunately, with recurring revenue, it's hard to tell. But it should have been much higher by now.
Starting point is 00:01:37 So getting back in the captain's chair there. I've got a few companies, but mainly I'm just waiting to see what's going on with this nonsense everywhere what do you mean by that just all the nonsense that's going on can you elaborate on that you don't want me to yeah we'll probably get banned yeah you don't want to get it suppressed yeah yeah we could go down that road for sure you also got a huge podcast see you crushing that podcast is getting big yeahpping bombs for all of you that don't know. Yeah. What's that like? I mean, you really grew that into an empire.
Starting point is 00:02:10 And by the way, I think that's getting suppressed because it says bombs in it. Are you serious? Yes. Just from the bombs word? Just from the bombs word. You might have to change the whole name. It's just stupid. So what are you going to call it?
Starting point is 00:02:21 Nothing. I'm going to call it dropping bombs. YouTube suppressed. I guess it makes sense. Terrorism call it? Nothing. I'm going to call it dropping bombs. YouTube suppressed you? I guess it makes sense. Terrorism, right? Yeah. Well, I think it's AI doing it. Nobody's paying attention.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Yeah. Wake up. What keeps you motivated? I mean, you've got all this money, all this success. You're known pretty much everywhere. It keeps you going these days. I don't know who's informing you. I don't have all this money, and I'm not known everywhere.
Starting point is 00:02:43 But that would be something i'm i'm working on where i'll have all this money and everyone knows me so you're not happy with the current level of wealth you're at right now when you say happy you know i think happiness is a choice so i'm happy okay even if i had a fraction of what i have i'd be happy i'm happy even when I was broke. Most people, I'd say when they're broke, they're not that happy though. Well, I mean, that's most people.
Starting point is 00:03:15 So you think it's just a switch? It's a choice. Happiness is a choice. You choose to be happy. Yeah? Yeah. So like, you know, you take someone that had money their whole life,
Starting point is 00:03:25 put them in a broke situation, they're going to to be upset they're going to not be happy put somebody that was you know about to die and and now they're told they're not going to die but they don't have any money they're quite happy same situation right yeah what's the difference perspective wow that's deep and i think you happiness. So I can be happy sitting here or I can be upset sitting here. Yeah. I could say there's no water on my table. Are you crazy, dude? Don't you know who I am? Where's my Voss water? You love that Voss water. Or I could just sit here and be happy, which I do. So, I mean, don't get me wrong. Money definitely, I think, makes people happier or it's easier to
Starting point is 00:04:07 choose happiness when you have a lot of money yeah for sure i just don't think money is like money doesn't necessarily make you happy a choice makes you happy when you started getting money success what did you do with your old friends that you grew up with did you keep them i haven't seen my old friends that i grew up with for you know ever i left my state in 1991 and when i left i pretty much left everything i don't i didn't stay connected you didn't text them call them there was no texting back then you didn't call them though no i mean you know and then phone numbers would get disconnected over time i mean dude that's a long time i'm an old dog yeah so so i didn't stay in touch with my high school buddies unfortunately um if i went if i went back you know i can remember five or you know 10 high school buddies yeah i don't keep track with
Starting point is 00:05:07 them i don't i don't keep up with them yeah which is a i would say it's a regret of mine oh it's a regret well sure i mean you can't replace childhood friends there's only one set you're ever going to get if they're watching this reach out to him guys he misses you no no don't. No, actually, I wouldn't mind if they did. But a lot of them, they didn't change at all. I've had a few reach out. Okay. And, man, they're just still.
Starting point is 00:05:34 That's kind of how I feel. They're in the same town doing the same. Yeah. I'm like, bro. And they're asking me questions like I'm, you know, Brad Pitt, not Bradley. I'm like, bro, you know brad pitt not brad lee i'm like bro you know they think a million followers is is crazy and i'm like you know well it's 2.5 on tick tock does that make it better it's all relative right i'm starting to get recognized places but i'm far from a celebrity i
Starting point is 00:05:59 would say yeah i can't even believe a lot of these people that are even more well known than me on social media walk around claiming a celebrity status yeah i would never label myself that even if i did become one i guess it's just weird right yeah well i mean at some point i guess you become one but i don't feel i've arrived there yet yeah i mean i'm not getting i'm not getting swarmed with with autograph seekers or and i get a few people recognize me want my picture but that's better i give you the local celebrity tag in vegas you're pretty known in vegas yeah yeah well good is it a good reputation yeah i've never heard someone talk badly of you actually say that again yeah i've never heard it that's because i try to treat people ethically and do the right thing. Yeah, you do good business.
Starting point is 00:06:48 You've got a great product. You're working with guys like Grant Cardone. You've got a great reputation. How did you build that relationship? I just tracked him down and closed him. At a conference? No, at his house, actually. You went to his house?
Starting point is 00:07:00 The first time, he finally invited me over to his house. But Tony Robbins was harder to get to than Grant. to his house the first time he finally invited me over to his house um but uh you know tony robbins was harder to get to than grant grant wasn't that really hard to get to grant wasn't even very well known when i met him you know he was just a trainer in the car business yeah he trained car salesman that's all he did nobody knew who he was there was no social media oh this was like 10 years ago right a little longer than that oh well I don't know why my voice is sounding all weird on this. You need a water? No.
Starting point is 00:07:28 I just sound like very whitish. Tell us a story with Tony. How do you meet Tony Robbins? I just kept asking everyone I knew, do you know Tony? Do you know anyone that knows Tony? And then eventually someone said yes. And I said, introduce me. He said, why? I showed him why. And he called me one day and he said, Tony will be in San Francisco. He said, he'll give you 15 minutes. I said, I'm there. So I show
Starting point is 00:07:56 up, boom, took about two hours with him and then had to chase him for another two or three years until I finally closed his ass in his house in Palm Beach, Florida. Wow. And what did that end up generating revenue-wise for you? You know, it didn't go as big as I thought because Tony's already huge. You know what I'm saying? Like he's beyond caring about money. He's got a ton of it. He has bigger things that he looks at looks for like feeding
Starting point is 00:08:25 like a million families or something kids stuff like that so he's like he's he's above and beyond so he didn't really push it too much but you know we did well you know for for what we did yeah but you know i thought you know i was gonna be a zillionaire you know but i went out and celebrated yeah i've been there got tony rob Everyone's going to do it now. Yeah. You know? No one cares. Really? Nobody cared.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Wow. I mean, it adds a little credibility, but it didn't blow up my business. No. Interesting. You had an interesting take on your Instagram about getting rich quick. Yeah. That's the best way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 So you're a fan of it, but most people advise against it. That's because they don't know how to do it. What do you mean by that? Well, I mean, dude, the best way to get rich is to get rich quick. Wouldn't you rather get rich quick than slow? At what cost though? See, again, that's some pessimistic scarcity mindset that they're trying to plant into you. Why is it that you can't get rich quick? People go, oh, there's no such thing. Dude quick people oh there's no such thing dude just because there's no such thing to you doesn't mean there's no such thing there's people that invested in what's called crypto you i'm sure you're familiar with a little bit of that they were rich overnight
Starting point is 00:09:35 yeah i know a lot of people that happen to i was i was offered bitcoin at seven bucks a coin jeez and i said said, who wants this? You would have made 10 mil? I would have made more than 10 mil. But I know a buddy of mine, he's got 300 million in Ethereum right now. So he got rich quick. And it is possible. And most people don't think it is.
Starting point is 00:10:03 So they just want to talk about it. When in reality, like, I don't, you know, anything's possible. But I was also being a little bit facetious. Someone said, what's the best way to get rich? They were wanting me to say real estate or all these different various ways. Yeah. And my response was quickly. That's the best way to do it quick. But it's not likely that a lot of people are going to get rich quick.
Starting point is 00:10:24 It does take time if anybody's going to get rich quick it does take time if anybody's sitting here taking notes it does take time you know you got to be you got to be aware of that and be willing to pay the price but at the end of the day it's also quite possible to get rich quick and that's the best way to do it but you know i'll settle did it take me 20 years to get rich that's not that's not quick took you 20 years to become a millionaire no it took me eight so you were 28. no i started business when i was 30. oh so you were 38. oh that's later than i thought yes wow why'd you start so late because i was you know running around thinking i was making all the money in the world i didn't know what entrepreneurship was really okay yeah back
Starting point is 00:11:05 then it wasn't cool well i mean i was always entrepreneurial it's just you know you needed to make money pay bills i had family i had child support i had car payments to make right you know so you got to have a job you know how are you going to make money if if ain't working out so i went and got you know work at other people's businesses selling things cars art all kinds of different things rvs so i needed to pay bills right so i so i went to work but at 30 years old i kind of had this little pivotal moment where i thought man i just want to help people make more money. Cause I saw a family that I helped and it was like, wow, that's pretty cool. I want to do that again. I'm going
Starting point is 00:11:50 to start a business and start helping people train and make more money. And that's kind of what, when I started my business, I was 30 years old working at a car dealership. So I quit my job and started a business and it took eight years to to you know make it wow it's a long time man it didn't seem like that long but i guess it sounds that long you know what i did i every 90 days every 90 days i thought i was 90 days away and if you ask me what's going on in 90 days from now i'd say the same thing like dude there's some major shit i'm working on yeah and in 90 days you don't even imagine there's always something right dude and and that's what kept me going for 20 years it's like every 90 days there was
Starting point is 00:12:36 something big happening and if you come back to me in 90 days and it's not i'm not there i won't be like no i kind of failed i'd say dude no but i'm 90 days away it's always this elusive 90 days i'm going to write a book one of these days called how do you get anything you want in 90 days and here's how you do it you figure out what it is then you look down you work off for 90 days then you look up and if you don't have it repeat and at some point i guarantee you'll get it yeah at some point and it will be within 90 days it just might be your 27th one yeah might be on your deathbed but it'll happen eventually right just hard work and if it doesn't you're dead so who cares yeah you have a lot of kids man seven it's a lot is it yeah you don't think so get started no what age were you when you had the
Starting point is 00:13:26 first one 17 so high school planned or no i was i wasn't in high school because i dropped out right 16 years old dropped out 11th grade wow um what was your question planned or was it girlfriend or no none of them were really planned oh none of them so you never had a discussion they might have been planned with my like my my current wife she wanted kids yeah so we didn't sit there and say okay let's start trying okay we just you know had one you know i just learned woman can only get pregnant six to eight days out of the month really yeah i didn't know that well i have good aim then seven kids is there a certain number you want or you're just gonna no i mean my wife wants a boy i have two boys from another wife but my wife wants a boy we have three girls okay so again you know i'll keep going i'm never
Starting point is 00:14:20 i'm never getting snipped yeah so if she if she gets pregnant, there you go. So you love having kids. I don't mind them. Yeah. I mean, I don't necessarily love them. I love my kids. I don't love kids, though. They're aggravating sometimes. You got to go home.
Starting point is 00:14:36 You got to deal with them. The house is always messy. There's fingerprints everywhere. They screw up a truck. I get in the back of my truck. They were in there for one hour, and there's **** everywhere. i i mean obviously i love my kids but i don't know if i'm i'm in love with kids okay you know i just i just uh i don't mind them in other words like if if you got a i think if you have a good deal with your wife because i know some guys listen they got to get up in the
Starting point is 00:15:03 middle of the night and change diapers they got to literally pitch in you didn't have to do that hell no you kidding me bro you got a nanny well i told my wife i've already had kids we're not have i'm not i'm not interested in having any this is before we were married yeah um you know she just begged and begged and begged and i'm like okay well i'll tell you what if i have kids with you i'm not i'm not doing anything except like you know take them out to play and play with them as soon as i'm done to you so literally she she was a nanny when i met her okay so she she knew how to take care of kids her mom is like the super grandma and we have an uh well we don't have a nanny we have a teacher we have a um we don't
Starting point is 00:15:46 even have a nanny actually so who take just your wife takes care of okay because she was a nanny so yeah but i was just thinking yeah we have a nanny but we don't we have a maid we have a teacher okay i hired a private teacher for them so you homeschool them yeah well i i call it private education because homeschooling makes you think like your mom and dad are sitting there on the table trying to figure out math. I took the teacher from their private school that we left with us. I said, hey, why don't you come just work directly for us? Nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:18 So I've snatched a good teacher and she trains them. And she's almost like a nanny, but she's not. She's a teacher. What does she teach them and and she's almost like a nanny but she's not she's a teacher what does she teach them like actual subjects yeah like math reading yeah history so you you still like the education system like the topics they teach more old school like i won't we don't agree with core math yeah you've heard of core no is that the new lucky yeah I mean apparently dude you gotta to solve a simple problem like four plus four there's 17 steps what it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of that yeah but they're but they're you know everyone says what about you know how they're going to handle it socially yeah listen they're very social like if they were
Starting point is 00:17:01 here right now they'd be laughing they'd get on the microphone and talk they're not shy okay you know we go out to places they they see other kids and other people it's just um you know i don't i don't like leaving them at a school where the school's indoctrinating them and that's what's happening it's scary dude that's what's straight up happening no for sure you better get your kid you know in check if you really care about them because otherwise that school is going to make them believe whatever it is they want them yeah was it like that when you went to school or do you think it's a newer thing i think it's you know i didn't recognize it as much yeah same i i could see it kind of starting when i was in school but not as bad as now yeah when i was in school man they just told you to you know get good grades so you can go to college and you can get a good job that's that's all they were pushing
Starting point is 00:17:49 uh everything else was still you know god usa apple pie you know keep it private yeah now it's like they're really entering your personal lives almost well i don't know what they're doing because we vacated the premises. See, I don't worry about stuff like that. I just remove my kids. Now, again, do they want to be in school? They do want to be in school. They don't like being privately educated.
Starting point is 00:18:19 They want to be schooled at school with all their friends. They want to have friends. Not going to happen, especially because they wanted the shots and yada yada yada and my kids aren't getting a shot i'm not getting one we're not wearing masks all that that went on i wasn't about it i just snatched them out and brought them home man that was a crazy time couldn't even walk in a building without a mask on yeah and there's a lot of people right now wishing that they didn't get it i see it every day there's like a movement starting right yeah well hey proof's out now yeah we're not just we're just not wacky anymore now it's like i think there were i think we're called purebloods now yeah yeah it feels good yeah i mean i technically got it but
Starting point is 00:19:00 you what do you mean technically you got your card yeah we're gonna cut this part for sure i wouldn't even bring up if i were you yeah we'll cut this whole segment so go back to seven yeah i've got seven kids love them to death kids are great 17 so you started at 17 and you just had one every couple years from there no 17 i had one and then believe it or not that was the first time i so first time you had oh okay and so it was kind of like um alarming literally the first time ever yeah and only once wow so anyway got her pregnant. So I'm like, wow. So I kind of got a little shy for a year and a half.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Okay. And then did it again once. Another one. And so I didn't do anything until three or four years. And then I got married and had two boys. And then I was married for 10 years and then got divorced and then met my current wife. And we have three. So it's seven
Starting point is 00:20:07 kids from four mothers wow what do you think was uh the contributing factors to that first divorce she wanted to be the boss she wanted to control things she was an alpha yeah i mean i guess i guess that's a good way of saying it nowadays but i i called her you know you can call it alpha now to disguise it but she wanted to be the boss like you know i wanted to you know i had things to do i had a sales team right so i'm gonna say hey listen and we lived right across the street from this place i said hey meet me over here i'm gonna hang out with the team for a little bit, get them ramped up. No, you need to come home.
Starting point is 00:20:48 I said, why? You need to come home. So I'd go home. What's up? And she'd be sitting there in a T-shirt watching an old Arabic movie that I didn't understand. And I'm like, why do I need to be here? Because you have a family.
Starting point is 00:21:02 You need to be here. I'm like, there's nothing going on i'll be right there i'm pointing at the place out my window i'll be right there i go i have a sales team and you know i gotta like hang out with them pump them up keep them motivated no you're gonna stay home and like like not even like she's the boss and so that only lasted a certain amount of time before i said listen we're not we can't we got to change something and then and then she said or what i said or or we'll have to get a divorce and she said you don't have the balls to divorce me whoa and i said excuse me like you must totally completely misunderstand who you're married to yeah and so boom that was the end of that do you have a prenup didn't need one what do you mean i didn't have any money oh you got lucky nice
Starting point is 00:21:52 i feel like these days you kind of need one though they don't hold up anyway uh so you didn't get one on the new wife well the new wife i have what's called uh trusts so brad lee technically doesn't make much okay you know what i'm saying yeah on paper right well i mean if listen the truly wealthiest people in the world if you look at who they what they personally own it's not much so if my wife were to divorce me she could take half and i'd be just wonderfully fine because i have trusts so the trusts she cannot take half and I'd be just wonderfully fine because I have trusts. So the trusts she cannot take half of. So anyway, we don't have a prenup.
Starting point is 00:22:32 And, and I don't think, and I don't think we needed one, you know, quite frankly. Okay. Cause I saw when Bezos got divorced, he got wrecked.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Maybe he didn't have a trust. And when you say wrecked, see this, this is my, this is my point, Sean, listen, how much did he have left?
Starting point is 00:22:48 Of what, Amazon? His money. I mean, I saw, I don't know if this is real, but on the articles it said he lost a lot of money. No, not lost. How much did he still have left? Left? Yeah, so if I told you, you're going to lose half your money. Do you want to lose $30,000 or do you want to lose $300 million?
Starting point is 00:23:04 $30,000. Pay attention to what I'm telling you wait listen to me you're going to lose half your money yeah you're going to lose half your money in this divorce so you have a choice do you want to lose 30 000 or do you want to lose 300 million i see what you're saying 300 million thank you so do i so does jeff like dude everyone poor jeff he lost a billion who cares he's got a hundred billion left yeah like dude why you guys feel sorry for a dude that has billions of dollars because he lost some by the way he married that girl early on yeah she spent that whole time well that was half hers people forget that yeah that's true why wasn't it half hers yeah she was there for the whole time i mean she deserves something right the whole time now again if he was already
Starting point is 00:23:54 worth five billion dollars and then she shows up and now he's worth 50 billion dollars if that five billion shouldn't even be counted why had that Had that before her. Right. Okay, next. Okay, out of the $50, what does she deserve? Well, I mean, realistically, if she's some bimbo hooker that just tied him down for two or three years to get his money, I don't think she deserves anything. But when we're talking about the wife that spent the entire broke days supporting him that whole time, she deserves something, man i and i would say half because i think your partners that's a good way of looking at it yeah i didn't think about it that way she was there from the start but more importantly dude he's fine why is it for jeff
Starting point is 00:24:36 bezos like i wish i lost a hundred i wish i lost a billion dollars in a divorce that'd be great i just saw last week he already made it back yeah he's not worried yeah and i and you haven't heard from her no where's she at she's on a yacht somewhere she's she's fine yeah you get along with your family yeah which family like your direct family like yeah because are they entrepreneurs as well or are they corporate yeah they're not even corporate they're blue collar yeah yeah i'm from a family that's mostly blue collar okay because i have this weird dynamic with mine where they don't get me you know they all made fun of me when i dropped out of college they all made fun of me when i didn't have a job so i'm just wondering if you dealt with that too no so they
Starting point is 00:25:23 all supported you no i didn't talk to him much we're not a real close family like sometimes i'll go years not talk to anybody oh okay and then when i hear him they're like hey how you doing good can i borrow some money what for i say i always say what for first yeah because if it's stupid the answer is no so you've given money to them sure what's money for if you can't help people with it what about your parents did they support you again no they kicked me out when i was 16 for not mowing the lawn what yeah when i was 16 i was supposed to mow the lawn my dad said why didn't you mow the lawn i said i forgot he said i think you best hit the road.
Starting point is 00:26:09 I packed my bags and left and never went back. And you never talked to them since? I talked to them. But again, I'm out of the house now. I'm just a, I'm just an adult. Wow. 16. So they'd say, how you doing? I'd say, good. They, I see your car. And back then, you know, I was a little bit of a hoodlum, meaning I'd get what I needed no matter what. And again, I wasn't robbing people, but I was very creative at making money, earning money. And so anything that I achieved, they just assumed was some sort of scam or some sort of. Wow.
Starting point is 00:26:43 But, you know, know again we don't it's weird because it's not like we're tight and but it's not like we hate each other it's just we're just i'm thinking of the word and i can't get it but it's i kind of know what you mean it's almost like you know just lukewarm lukewarm interesting at one time my dad came to las vegas yeah i had my two boys and those are his grandkids obviously right i said you're gonna come over meet your grandkids he said yeah this is gonna be awesome so he gets here i pick him up from the airport go to the hotel he's got to meet some people from the Moose Lodge or whatever he was here for. So I took him to the hotel. I had a bunch of alcohol surprised in his room, the kind they like,
Starting point is 00:27:30 a bunch of it because they drank a lot. Day two, no show. Day three, I call him. Yeah, we'll be over there a little bit later. No show. Day four, day five, they were here seven days. Never came over to see their grandkids that's crazy who does that i've never heard of that but again everyone's like well why are you
Starting point is 00:27:51 guys at odds well we're we're not just they had better to do yeah than meet grandkids wow so did you feel the need to kind of prove them wrong when you left and make money i think now that i'm getting a little older i'm i'm thinking back that that is part of what's dry what what's driven me is is trying to say how you like me now because dude i like revenge yeah i think it's uh good motivation if you use great motivation like dana white has something that says you know bet against me bet against me right that's that's what makes me go i'm the same way yeah if you tell me i can't do something that's when i'm really gonna do it yeah man that's wild i didn't know you had that dynamic with your parents but you treat your kids
Starting point is 00:28:36 like very respectfully and seem like to be part of their lives that's cool gold i'd say yeah similar with my dad he did not get along with his parents but he always he never laid a hand on me you know he used to get physically beat up and stuff oh yeah yeah so i always respected him for that that's a good dad yeah that's a beach i mean he got mine never really beat my ass i got him spanking with the belt many times. Got a few of those with my mom. I got more than a few, but he would never beat me up.
Starting point is 00:29:10 There was no fists with my dad. It was always a belt. And once I got like 12 or 13 or old enough to where it was stupid, he'd stop. He only did it when we were a kid. But, boy, I'll tell you he beat and i think and i think that's you know why i'm resourceful you know i think i'm getting your beat as as a kid yeah it made you think man right it made you you know stay out of trouble too yeah it made you
Starting point is 00:29:40 careful with your words right i think so yeah because these people these days just run in their mouth on social media. Well, a lot of kids nowadays, you're not allowed to spank them. Yeah, you'll get arrested. They're indoctrinated at your school, so you don't want to mess around with your kids now. You just let the schools raise them, let the government raise them, and do what you're told. Yeah, that's scary, man so i'm not a fan of that
