Why God Wants You To Succeed | John Rankins & Brad Lea

from The Sales Machine · host John Rankins

Most people think they're moving forward, but what they're really doing is standing still while their competition laps them. In this episode of The Sales Machine, I sit down with the legend himself—Brad Lea. Entrepreneur, investor, CEO, and host of the Dropping Bombs podcast. Brad’s the guy who built Lightspeed VT, changed the game in online learning, and built a network so powerful it’s insane. We talk about what it really takes to stay ahead and why if you're not innovating daily, you’re getting left behind. 🔥 What You’ll Learn:Why "exposure" isn't real training—and how to fix it How AI is reshaping the future of learning and business The truth about building a company without outside funding Why mindset is the real secret weapon in sales and entrepreneurship How building better habits can completely change your path Why your relationships are your net worth The power of gratitude, choice, and having a Million Dollar Morning Routine If you’re tired of watching others pass you by while you “play it safe,” it’s time to wake up. Innovate daily. Level up your mindset. Build relationships that matter. Hit play, take notes, and outpace your competition starting today.
