EP 9: From “6 Months to Live” to a Dream Life and Business with Brad Sea

We often hear that life is short, and it is probably something most of us take this for granted. Today's guest, Brad Sea, is here to share his incredible story that will tug at your heartstrings and give you a good, swift kick in the pants to get out there and make the most of every moment. Brad is not only a good friend and inspiration, but he's also an amazing CEO. We hear about the mind-blowing success he has seen as a mortgage brokerage owner after only one a half years in the game! Brad also bravely shares the cancer diagnosis that changed his life and how his off-the-charts focus helped him tackle his illness. Instead of feeling like the victim, Brad put himself back in the driver’s seat and used this time to turn his life around. It was not all smooth sailing, and we hear about some of the tough times he faced. Life is always going to throw challenges our way, but these moments show us who we are, something Brad knows all too well. Throughout our conversation, Brad reflects on the importance of making your decisions with conviction and pursuing what feels right for you.
