It's hard enough to get your dream job. What would you do if the career you work your whole life for was taken away with a day's notice? Steve Rozenberg worked hard to become a commercial airline pilot at 25 — 10 years earlier than average. Then 9/11 happened, and the career he'd worked his entire life for was almost taken away in a single day. While Steve still flies, he realized he needed to do something else. A back-up plan to have control over what happens next. So, he decided to try his hand at real estate. " Owning a property is the same as running a business. A lot of these investors and people that own properties, they don't have a business plan, they don't have systems, they don't have procedures. And then when they fail, they don't understand why. "

Have something to sell, but no one to sell it to? Then sit back, grab a notepad, and crank up the volume for this episode of Dropping Bombs. Today, you'll hear Brad talk with Jon Nestorovic, the lead generating, internet marketing ninja at Auto Lead Kings. Specifically, about how easy it is to get an abundance of qualified leads… just as soon as you get out of your own head. Here are some highlights: The biggest challenge for businesses is taking imperfect action online. That's because perfection kills progress. Accept that you'll never get it perfect the first time, learn from your mistakes, and just get it done. You need traffic to turn on your lights, and you should expect to pay for it. Stop depending on organic searches to drive customers to your door. There is no such thing as fast, free traffic in the beginning. It takes MONTHS to rank, maybe years if you're in a competitive space. The best return on investment isn't better quality leads, it's training the people who pick up the phone and call that lead to close the deal. About Jon Nestorovic Jon Nestorovic founded Auto Lead Kings, a group of automotive lead generation experts who have perfected the pay-per-lead model that offers an unbeatable ROI to dealerships.

Jay Doran's second appearance on Dropping Bombs is even more explosive than his first (one of the top episodes to date!). Jay and Brad have a certain alignment in their core values and their mission, but that doesn't mean they always agree. Here are some of the nuggets you will hear on today's episode: At this moment in history, thanks to major developments in technology, the spoken word is more powerful than the written word. Everyone in the world has the power to teach and educate, the power to spread the knowledge. The goal is to get the knowledge from the people who have it to the people who need it. Be selfishly selfless and read, write and speak daily with an attitude of openness, curiosity and observation. Execute on that and tell people your truth. How do we eliminate conflict? Over time, with the evolution of social consciousness, people will think more which, in turn, will increase their love and acceptance of each other. You are a filter between what is not yet, what can be and what you manifest through your word, thought, ideation, belief, action, reaction, habituation and alignment of other individuals. Read a book (or listen to an audiobook), any book and write down everything you disagree or agree with in that book - you will come out being a better person in the end. Culture Matters helps executives bring out and define their knowledge and share it with their company, now Jay Doran wants to talk to you.

For the 119th episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad sits down solo to talk directly with the Bomb Squad about a timely issue right before New Year's resolution time: Start liking—and believing in—yourself. Today. Want a taste? "Too many people don't know what they believe it, what they'll go to war for, what they'll die for. All they do is parrot someone else's ideas. You need to figure out who you are, throw your own thoughts down, and figure out what YOU stand for." True happiness doesn't lie in a nice car or a yacht. It lies in reaching your potential. But, to do that, you need to understand what you value and what it is you're capable of achieving. So, go ahead, press play, and think about what YOU are capable of achieving starting today.

Steve Sims, Founder of The Bluefish luxury concierge company, returns for the 118th episode of Dropping Bombs. Over a bomb-packed episode, Brad and Steve talk about how to stop over-complicating shit. Here are some highlights: Why can't people understand authenticity? You're either who you are or you're not. Everyone's wearing too many shields, it's the emperor's clothes all over again. Don't change the way you treat people; change the people you treat. There are so many kind people who get screwed and wind up bitter. Instead, continue to be kind and stick around people who appreciate you. How to teach your kids strength of character. You see someone in a 5K suit, expensive watch and, financed car--all the landmarks of a successful person--but they don't open the door for someone. You've got to trust your gut when evaluating others. Money isn't the best currency, relationships and value are. Audit your inner circle. Stick with the people who will stick with you. On the flip side, you need good friends who challenge you—in a GOOD way. Never follow the herd. No one who's done anything fantastic has done so by following others. At the end of the day, you only do the stuff you work on so that you can spend more time doing what you love to do. Make hay while the sun shines, but don't forget to spend time doing what you love.

For the 117th episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad sits down with 18-year-old entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Build Your Empire, Casey Adams. Build Your Empire goes further than your average mastermind group. Instead of meet-ups, members can actually move into the Build Your Empire house where they'll be given all the resources any up and coming entrepreneur needs to succeed! By providing an educational platform, bringing mentors to the table, and keeping members motivated 24/7, Build Your Empire inspires members to invest in themselves while creating a cult-like brand. Since both Casey Adams and Brad are all about getting knowledge from the people who have it, to the people who need it so we can live in a more successful world, you know there's going to be some serious bombs dropped! Here are the highlights: Patience isn't a good thing to have. It's bullsh*t and you don't want it in your life. Ask yourself, "How can I prove myself and be different from the other people in this space?" If you want to teach someone correctly, you need to start with good content. Then, you need to repeat and practice until you learn it, then you can teach it. The difference between training and going to an event, is the difference between making $1000 and $100-million. Stop looking for someone to recognize your status. Invest in yourself, become better than you are, and you'll get recognition. Understanding your audience is important, because putting out content that you believe in AND resonates with them in a genuine way is the key to growing your brand following.
