You’re here because you want to win—big. Brad Lea doesn’t mess around. In this episode, he sits down with Brooke & Mike Villano to tear into how only 17% of eligible veterans are using their VA loan benefits—despite it being one of the best home financing options available—due to misinformation, restrictive lenders, and lack of education, and urges veterans to claim what they've earned, delivering the unfiltered truth you won’t find anywhere else. No fluff, just real talk and actionable steps to crush it in business and life.
