We Got His Entire Story Wrong… and Left It In | Brad Weisman

<p>This interview went off the rails in about 60 seconds.</p><p>I introduced Brad Weisman with what I thought was an incredible story of overcoming homelessness and addiction.</p><p>There was only one problem.</p><p><b><strong>It wasn't his story.</strong></b></p><p>Instead of starting over, Brad and I decided to leave the mistake in—and what followed became one of the funniest, most genuine conversations I've had on the podcast.</p><p>Brad is a longtime real estate professional, part-owner of a Keller Williams franchise and host of The Brad Weisman Show, which recently crossed 300 episodes. But his story actually began as a musician who had to make the painful decision to walk away from the dream he thought would define his life.</p><p>We talk about what happens when you have to reinvent yourself, the people who see potential in you before you see it yourself, the hidden cost of entrepreneurship, workaholism, family, relationships, authenticity, and why the skills you developed in an entirely different chapter of your life may become your greatest unfair advantage.</p><p>Brad also shares how a 10-minute conversation changed the trajectory of his career, why he believes you should jump before you have everything figured out, and the professional regret he still carries today.</p><p>And somewhere along the way, I leave the interview to go to the bathroom while Brad takes over my podcast.</p><p>Yes, we left that in too.</p><p>Sometimes the best conversations happen when the script completely falls apart.</p><p>Connect with Brad at BradWeisman.com and @TheBradWeismanShow.</p>
