#47 Blue Collar to Big Dollars | Sales, Smoking Crack, & 1 Billion $$$ - LightSpeed VT: Brad Lea

Today we talk to Brad Lea and he starts with his first few weeks in LA. Not long before he was at the mercy of a crack pipe, he got kicked out of his home in Oregon at 16, convinced a friend to quit his job, and drove to California to pursue his dream of becoming a movie star. And while this dream didn’t exactly pan out, that same charisma he hoped would end up on the silver screen, has helped him become a master salesman. Today, Brad runs his multi-million dollar business, Lightspeed VT, which gives companies world-class virtual training systems with the goal of getting knowledge from those who have it to the people who need it. Brad understands the potential of knowledge to improve lives and a lot of the passion he has for his company comes from his experience growing up with less than everyone around him.
