In this explosive episode of the Digital Social Hour Podcast, host Sean Kelly sits down with entrepreneur, author, and speaker Brad Lea for a raw conversation about success, stress, masculinity, and the truth about AI.

Brad doesn’t hold back — from declaring “You’re broke because you chose to be broke” to breaking down why discipline is a choice and why AI is just a tool, not gospel.

This isn’t theory — Brad built multiple 8-figure companies, runs one of the top 25 entrepreneur podcasts in the world, and has helped thousands of people rewire their mindset for success.
