If any one man knows something about greatness, it's Tim Grover. CEO of ATTACK Athletics, Inc, Tim is known for his legendary work with elite champions and Hall of Famers, including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and hundreds of other athletes. In short, if you have any interest in upping your game and achieving excellence, the king is in the building. That's fantastic for the few of us mortals who already get up at the crack of dawn, ready to attack the day. But, what about the rest of us who might be sitting around in sweatpants that might or might not have residual swipes of Dorito dust because the napkins were too far away? According to Tim Grover, it's not too late. "Greatness is in all of us. But for most of us, that's where it stays." According to Tim, it starts with controlling your emotions, fostering focus, and ignoring the negative thoughts that can weigh you down. When the greats are in the zone, they play with ONE emotion. Whether high-energy or calm and cool, it's the zone that works for them. Listen and find yours.

If Nick Santonastasso can wake-up grateful every day, what's your excuse? At 21 years old, he already holds rank as an internet sensation and fitness champion and is now making rounds as a motivational speaker whose story resonates with audiences worldwide. What makes Nick such an inspiration? Nick was born with Hanhart Syndrome, a rare condition that affects the development of limbs and organs. With a 30% chance of survival, Nick was fortunate that his organs were unaffected by the defect. Instead, Hanhart Syndrome deprived him of both legs and a portion of one arm—which hasn't stopped him one bit. From voluntarily amputating the remainder of his right arm so that he could compete on the school wrestling team to waking up every day in a determined state of gratitude, Nick Santonastasso's story is nothing short of remarkable. "I realized early on that he world isn't going to stop for me just because I was born like this," he tells Brad. "Life is fast; it's important to keep perspective." So, we'll ask you again, what's your excuse?

Brad sits down with Carly Evaristo to chat about the attitude of gratitude and how to ride the line between being thankful, staying hungry—and the stress of wondering if what you did was good enough.

Did everything turn out okay? Most likely, now everything is fine, and you're on your way." So, what IS the sweet spot between avoiding comfort and getting stressed? It's simple: Lean in. Do the best you can. Stand in your convictions. Be confident in who you are and what you do. And, always, ALWAYS give 100%.

Brad sits down with Johnny Cardon, LightSpeed VT's resident handyman, to explore how this talented, almost-famous rock n' roller wound up screwing light bulbs instead of groupies. After an unflinching, honest look at over a decade's worth of questionable choices that have led to Johnny's scooter-driving, back-porch-sleeping lifestyle, Brad dishes out some tough love. "We all possess what it takes to win," says Brad. "But, if you keep not taking these insignificant actions on a daily basis, they're going to add up and bite you in the ass." Don't miss what might be the most motivating Dropping Bombs yet! And, remember, sure taking ownership is hard, but never reaching your potential is a hell of a lot harder.

Joined today by Colin Andrews of LearnCryptoFast.com, Brad explores the big questions surrounding cryptocurrency such as "What the heck is it?" "Does cryptocurrency come with too much risk?" And, more importantly, "Am I already too late to invest in cryptocurrency?" Colin The-Crypto-King Andrews made four-million off of investments made a mere eight months ago. The biggest risk, he states, is NOT jumping on this opportunity. Why is Colin Andrews so sure? "The total amount ever invested in crypto is only five-hundred-billion" Colin explains.
