Ed Tommasi (Award Winning Director) brings explosive energy to this electric Dropping Bombs episode, revealing how he went from food stamps in a trailer park to directing campaigns for Marvel, Disney, NFL, Amazon and more. The chief creative officer behind Opin—the agency transforming stale marketing into cinematic experiences—drops truth bombs about cold-calling his way to The Walking Dead franchise, selling six companies including multiple 7-figure exits, and building In God We Must into the largest Christian streetwear brand.

But this isn't just another success story. Ed unleashes the real framework: authentic energy over fake sales tactics, paying the price for what you want or watching it become the sacrifice, and embracing the "but God" mentality that conquered cancer and fueled his relentless rise. From speaking on faith to designing conversation-starter apparel, Ed's mission transcends profit—he's planting seeds and changing perspectives one interaction at a time. If you're ready to ditch excuses, embrace authentic hustle, and understand why gratitude is your secret weapon, this episode is your wake-up call to transform everything.
