Early Life
Lea was born in Cottage Grove, Oregon, on November 9, 1969. He had three other siblings. However, they were all taken to the orphanage when their parents split up. Brad was two years old at the time.
Eventually, his father was able to reclaim them. Brad then lived in a middle-class household. He had seen his father’s industrious side since he had founded a number of businesses.
When Brad was 16, he dropped out of high school. He didn’t have a choice as his father kicked him out. He didn’t get the chance to go to college as he started hustling after that.
Humble Beginnings
He first pursued his dream of being an actor. However, after six months of trying to earn a profit for it, Brad has lost all hope and gets broke. So, he decided to take another path.
Brad applied to the Forest Service in Oregon when he was 17 years old. He imagined himself as the person who would assist in the fight against forest fires. But again, he was wrong.
The young man saw an ad for a car salesperson the day after he left his second job, and he accepted it. This time, he became the best employee. Later on, he also started selling vacuums and art. He learned many things about people’s psychology in this profession.
Founding LightSpeed VT
Brad realized that he had a talent for teaching people. But he could only talk to a limited number of people physically. As a result, he reasoned that by using the internet, he would be able to reach a larger audience.
He launched LightSpeed VT, a tech startup, in 1999 with the goal of revolutionizing web-based learning. They give users an engaging and wonderful teaching approach.
