Dropping Bombs

If Nick Santonastasso can wake-up grateful every day, what's your excuse? At 21 years old, he already holds rank as an internet sensation and fitness champion and is now making rounds as a motivational speaker whose story resonates with audiences worldwide.

What makes Nick such an inspiration?

Nick was born with Hanhart Syndrome, a rare condition that affects the development of limbs and organs. With a 30% chance of survival, Nick was fortunate that his organs were unaffected by the defect. Instead, Hanhart Syndrome deprived him of both legs and a portion of one arm—which hasn't stopped him one bit.

From voluntarily amputating the remainder of his right arm so that he could compete on the school wrestling team to waking up every day in a determined state of gratitude, Nick Santonastasso's story is nothing short of remarkable.

"I realized early on that he world isn't going to stop for me just because I was born like this," he tells Brad. "Life is fast; it's important to keep perspective."

So, we'll ask you again, what's your excuse?

Brad sits down with Carly Evaristo to chat about the attitude of gratitude and how to ride the line between being thankful, staying hungry—and the stress of wondering if what you did was good enough.

Does Brad ever get stressed? Nope. "The less you give a fuck, the happier you'll be," he says.

"Most people are risk-averse. But, think about the last damn thing you worried about. Did everything turn out okay? Most likely, now everything is fine, and you're on your way."

So, what IS the sweet spot between avoiding comfort and getting stressed?

It's simple: Lean in. Do the best you can. Stand in your convictions. Be confident in who you are and what you do. And, always, ALWAYS give 100%.

Brad sits down with Johnny Cardon, LightSpeed VT's resident handyman, to explore how this talented, almost-famous rock n' roller wound up screwing light bulbs instead of groupies.

After an unflinching, honest look at over a decade's worth of questionable choices that have led to Johnny's scooter-driving, back-porch-sleeping lifestyle, Brad dishes out some tough love.

"We all possess what it takes to win," says Brad. "But, if you keep not taking these insignificant actions on a daily basis, they're going to add up and bite you in the ass."

Don't miss what might be the most motivating Dropping Bombs yet! And, remember, sure taking ownership is hard, but never reaching your potential is a hell of a lot harder.

"What do you think about people who say they hate to sell?"—That's the question that really kicks things off as Brad sits down with Ryan Stewman, otherwise known as The Hardcore Closer.

Ryan's answer might surprise you. According to him, EVERYONE can sell. The only thing they're lacking is people to sell too. (Even better, he has the numbers to prove it.) And, if you think success just fell into Ryan Stewman's lap, think again. You'll have to tune in to hear his full story, but just know that "hardcore" doesn't come from enjoying an easy ride.
