Dropping Bombs

For the 119th episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad sits down solo to talk directly with the Bomb Squad about a timely issue right before New Year's resolution time: Start liking—and believing in—yourself. Today.

Want a taste?

"Too many people don't know what they believe it, what they'll go to war for, what they'll die for. All they do is parrot someone else's ideas. You need to figure out who you are, throw your own thoughts down, and figure out what YOU stand for."

True happiness doesn't lie in a nice car or a yacht. It lies in reaching your potential. But, to do that, you need to understand what you value and what it is you're capable of achieving.

So, go ahead, press play, and think about what YOU are capable of achieving starting today.

Steve Sims, Founder of The Bluefish luxury concierge company, returns for the 118th episode of Dropping Bombs. Over a bomb-packed episode, Brad and Steve talk about how to stop over-complicating shit. Here are some highlights:

• Why can't people understand authenticity? You're either who you are or you're not. Everyone's wearing too many shields, it's the emperor's clothes all over again.
• Don't change the way you treat people; change the people you treat. There are so many kind people who get screwed and wind up bitter. Instead, continue to be kind and stick around people who appreciate you.
• How to teach your kids strength of character. You see someone in a 5K suit, expensive watch and, financed car--all the landmarks of a successful person--but they don't open the door for someone. You've got to trust your gut when evaluating others.
• Money isn't the best currency, relationships and value are. Audit your inner circle. Stick with the people who will stick with you.
• On the flip side, you need good friends who challenge you—in a GOOD way.
• Never follow the herd. No one who's done anything fantastic has done so by following others.
• At the end of the day, you only do the stuff you work on so that you can spend more time doing what you love to do. Make hay while the sun shines, but don't forget to spend time doing what you love.

For the 117th episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad sits down with 18-year-old entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Build Your Empire, Casey Adams.

Build Your Empire goes further than your average mastermind group. Instead of meet-ups, members can actually move into the Build Your Empire house where they'll be given all the resources any up and coming entrepreneur needs to succeed! By providing an educational platform, bringing mentors to the table, and keeping members motivated 24/7, Build Your Empire inspires members to invest in themselves while creating a cult-like brand.

Since both Casey Adams and Brad are all about getting knowledge from the people who have it, to the people who need it so we can live in a more successful world, you know there's going to be some serious bombs dropped! Here are the highlights:

• Patience isn't a good thing to have. It's bullsh*t and you don't want it in your life.
• Ask yourself, "How can I prove myself and be different from the other people in this space?"
• If you want to teach someone correctly, you need to start with good content. Then, you need to repeat and practice until you learn it, then you can teach it.
• The difference between training and going to an event, is the difference between making $1000 and $100-million.
• Stop looking for someone to recognize your status. Invest in yourself, become better than you are, and you'll get recognition.
• Understanding your audience is important, because putting out content that you believe in AND resonates with them in a genuine way is the key to growing your brand following.

Check out this special edition of Dropping Bombs! Brad sits down with Wyatt McClure. At a whopping 10-years old, Wyatt has already landed a prominent role as Billy Sparks on CBS's Young Sheldon—a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory.

While 10 might seem pretty young to start enjoying success, Wyatt shares that it wasn't always an easy road to arrive where he is now. Over the five years since he's been auditioning, Wyatt McClure has experienced his fair share of rejections--something he has in common with every entrepreneur.

You'll be surprised at the number of bombs dropped in this one! Here are additional highlights of Episode 115:

• How do deal with disappointment: "I don't think about it. If you get the bad stuff out of your head and keep the good, your life will be great."
• On giving up: "Never quit. If you can put all your work into it, eventually, you'll get it."
• On the importance of making friends: "If you don't socialize enough when you're young, you won't be able to stick up for yourself at all when you're older."
• On reaching your goals: "If you want to achieve it, work hard. If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself. Don't work for somebody else. They'll take all the credit for your hard work!"
