Richard Carthon: Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of Crypto Current your host here Richard Carthon. And today I have a special guest that is going to be informing us on a lot of ways that we can be protecting our assets, especially as it relates to crypto and everything that we’re doing on top of the blockchain. So we have a very special guest, Brian Bradley with Bradley Legal Corp.. How are you doing today?

00:01:28:01 – 00:01:52:26

Brian T. Bradley: I’m doing great, Richard. Thanks, and thanks for having me on. And this is going to be a, you know, a really hot topic. And I’m not an expert in crypto and I’m not a guru. I’m just an asset protection attorney, an attorney. And, you know, it’s just my niche just happens to focus on really rich, wealthy clients who are, you know, investing in cryptocurrency as well. And so at the end of the day, we’ve got to protect what we have right now 100%.

00:01:52:28 – 00:02:24:16

Richard Carthon: And there’s always more that we can be doing to not only protect ourselves, but protect the wealth that we’re creating and hopefully going to be either using for the betterment of our our livelihoods and our families. And we want to make sure that we can keep all that as secure as possible. So I thought this is going to be a really good opportunity to give some people some more perspective. Of course, a lot of people in this space know different ways that they can protect the crypto, whether it’s through cold wallets and other things like that. But there’s even more that you might not have knowledge on. So we wanted to give that perspective.

00:02:24:18 – 00:02:30:02

Brian T. Bradley: So before we dive into all of that, Brian, first we want to learn a little bit more about you have some background on yourself.

00:02:30:18 – 00:03:02:21

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah, so background on me. I got into law as an injured athlete in college and I kind of have to really be focused that energy and competitiveness. So I ended up going to law school because mom was like, you should really think about going to law school. You like philosophy and you know, good with logic. So I went to law school, you know, I was supposed to end up being the next big prosecutor. The economy crashed and what was it, eight or nine or ten. And so that job ended up getting rescinded and ended up transitioning into civil practice, which the economy wiped out.

00:03:02:23 – 00:03:42:26

Brian T. Bradley: And so just to again experience, I literally went to like state by state agencies and were like, hey, I need to get to the court. And you have all these clients and you guys can’t pay lawyers to go in and do these trials on I’ll do these trials for free. Just pay the covering costs. Wow. What? No hammer? Yeah. Seriously, like, I just need to go and get in the courtroom. So that’s how I got all this trial experience as a young attorney back, you know, like 12 years ago. And that trickle down into just getting like high profile cases. And I just realized so many people are marks and getting taken advantage of just because simply you own something that other people don’t have, like you’ve investment properties or you know, you have a white coat because you’re a doctor with a nice car.

00:03:43:06 – 00:04:27:15

Brian T. Bradley: Next thing you know, you’re getting sued or the negligence of your life. And I got tired of seeing people getting run through the wringer just because they chose to live a better lifestyle and invest their money. And so I started looking at it as a different perspective of how we protect this. And I reached out, you know, about ten years ago to the top three firms in the nation that were doing it at the time and saying, Hey, this is who I am, this is who you are, let’s find a way to work together. And, you know, with my trial background, it helped increase the type of protection that we have, because at the end of the day, when you create asset protection plans, I really only care what happens in court, not when you’re not getting sued, but I want to make sure they’re nice and strong for when they’re getting challenged by the attorney across the way from you trying to tell them apart.

00:04:28:02 – 00:04:43:06

Brian T. Bradley: And it just transitioned into now 100% of my practice because I enjoy the practice of law. I’m one of those weird people who like taxes as well and investing my money and making more money. So it kind of allowed me to marry all of my passions until one building.

00:04:44:09 – 00:05:15:16

Richard Carthon: Got it. So you have a background in playing sports back in college? I do too. We’ll talk more offline on that. But you took that and you’re like, I want to go do travel work. Went into the 2018 recession essentially, and then said, I’m going to go work for free. I’m going to figure this out. I’m get really good at trial law and then found your niche within asset protection. And so during all this time, when did you first learn and start to hear about, you know, cryptocurrency and blockchain and when did it pique your interest to start to learn more about how you can start working with clients within that space?

00:05:16:02 – 00:05:49:13

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah, it’s a good question. You know, really as an investment for myself, I did a start in investing in cryptocurrency until maybe a year ago. Like, I knew about it beforehand. It was more just, you know, a small amount of people checking into it. Most of my clients didn’t have it at the time, but just as an asset protection attorney, I just have to stay on top of what people are buying know. And generally, if you know, people have a lot of money, they’re investing their money in a bunch of different areas. So we got to learn about it. And my partner or, you know, affiliate, attorney, senior affiliate.

00:05:49:15 – 00:06:11:18

Brian T. Bradley: Doug Douglas Loudermilk was actually a big crypto guy and blockchain guy and even try and creating his own mining companies and everything like that. So I would just listen to what he had to say and, you know, trickle down effect down the line. And then just one day, about a year and a half ago, just every single client started having, you know, crypto investments. And

00:06:13:17 – 00:06:51:18

Richard Carthon: what they weren’t understanding is just how the IRS defined these things and that they do exist, they are discoverable. If you do get sued, they have to be disclosed. If you don’t, you go to jail for perjury. And then it’s a matter of now that we know these things exist, which we can break this stuff down later on, how do we protect this from lawsuits? So they’re not going to be forced. You know, we’re not going to be able to like have my cryptocurrencies taken from me to exercise on some judgment. So how do we legally go about protecting our cryptocurrencies? And so just by nature of what our business is, we always have to stay on top of, you know, assets and where people are placing their money.

00:06:52:22 – 00:07:23:18

Richard Carthon: Yeah. And I’m sure that by looking deeper into this, there’s a lot of different. Areas or scenarios that people don’t necessarily think through, but in worst case scenario should have a plan for it. So as you look at this and like you said, a lot of your initial clients do necessarily get into it, but as they began to, you started researching and looking more into how you could start protecting. What were some of the reoccurring pieces, the first steps of like, okay, I see this keeps happening. How do I at least start this first step of creating some protection?

00:07:25:28 – 00:07:38:07

Richard Carthon: The first steps are people realize they have something and then they call me because either a neighbor get sued or their business gets sued, a family member gets sued and they get wiped out and they get scared. And then they call and say, Hey.

00:07:40:04 – 00:08:15:12

Richard Carthon: We need to do something for ourselves because we’re living open and exposed. But most of the clients, when they call in and I asked them, Hey, how much do you want in crypto and the like, oh, why do you want to know that? Because it doesn’t exist. And I have to go literally through the explanation of it does exist. The IRS defines it as a property. Here’s the consequences. Now here’s how we have to protect it. So most of the time, it’s just people owning, you know, some sort of cryptocurrency exchanges. But thinking is just like doesn’t exist and it’s off on its own and it’s just by the by nature of purchasing it. That by itself is a product of asset protection, which it’s not.

00:08:15:16 – 00:08:21:05

Richard Carthon: And so then I have to explain how we go about protecting it after I explain the reality of what it actually means.

00:08:22:06 – 00:08:41:06

Richard Carthon: So let’s start there. So how does the IRS define cryptocurrency and how are people not aware of it? And how can it affect them either from a tax standpoint or even from a place that they’re trying to come and take that for consequences that potentially come? Let’s let’s just start there.

00:08:41:19 – 00:09:25:14

Richard Carthon: Yeah. Yeah, I think we just talking like taxing crypto, right? And then like, should we even go like buy a car with it? And so you have to remember, and the big point here is that crypto is a property as defined by the IRS. So I’m gonna say this again. The IRS defines cryptocurrency as a property, so it’s going to be taxed per each transaction. And what this means is that, for example, when you sell cryptocurrencies, it’s a taxable event, or when you convert it from one point to another, like a psyllium to Bitcoin or Bitcoin to something else, like ADR or whatever, or if you use it to buy anything like a car or any other type of asset, like the pizza guy and like, Oh, I got a bitcoin for selling a piece of pizza.

00:09:26:04 – 00:09:58:05

Richard Carthon: You know, that’s a transaction, you know, you’ll pay capital gains tax on it and any crypto transfers that are in excess amount of things like right now, $10,000 that can need to be reported to the IRS as well. And so now if you just buy and hold crypto and you know, you never sell it, that’s not a transaction yet. So that doesn’t really apply to you and you’ll need to disclose it or report it if you’re a U.S. citizen, just remember that again, crypto is a property and so it’s going to be taxed exactly like a stock sale.

00:09:58:18 – 00:10:30:22

Richard Carthon: And the challenge is that with a lot of like the crypto, the crypto crowd here, you know, they act like it’s the wild, wild west and that they’re prone to just want to go find a workaround that fits into their mindset or you know, that the answer that they want to hear and don’t really want to hear the truth. And so just they’ll just start looking around for anybody that’s going to tell them what they want to hear, to validate their thoughts, and then they get in trouble down the road. The reality is that, you know, you actually have multiple taxable events, like I mentioned, that come along with your crypto.

00:10:31:03 – 00:11:01:16

Richard Carthon: It’s just not as simple as saying that, Hey, I owe no taxes until I convert it back to the fiat currency or $2. That’s what a lot of people’s thoughts are, or that they think that they can just create some entity and tax structure. Another country, you know, run off like Puerto Rico is like the big one that, you know, people keep calling and talking to me about and then think that they’re just going to be off the radar and don’t have to disclose their holdings and not pay taxes on it or that it might even affect them positively in a lawsuit, which I’ll talk about that later on.

00:11:01:24 – 00:11:32:03

Richard Carthon: It’s just incorrect. So if you own crypto in your portfolio, just make sure that your CPA is familiar with crypto and that is up to date on it. You know, they’re up to date on the regulations and they’re always changing them and they can change after this errors or you know, like while we’re even talking on the phone, it’s just everything’s always moving fast in the digital world right now. And again, like, I just want to beat this point into like, you know, your audience is head here is that the IRS classifies crypto as a property.

00:11:32:13 – 00:11:46:02

Richard Carthon: And so then you are taxed on transactions and capital gains. And even that definition of it being a property has a big effect on your ability to protect it during lawsuits.

00:11:47:19 – 00:11:49:11

Richard Carthon: So let’s let’s go there. So

00:11:51:01 – 00:12:04:02

Richard Carthon: let’s say that you are potentially in a lawsuit and you don’t necessarily have a ton of assets to your name, but you do have some crypto. You’ve been holding on to that and doing stuff with that. How how can you walk us through like scenario like that?

00:12:07:13 – 00:12:35:09

00:12:41:27 – 00:13:14:16

Brian T. Bradley: Absolutely. And I actually am getting more and more of this to where it used to be. Most of my clients had basically, you know, 90% of the portfolio in real estate and some of it in a large stock portfolio. Now, I’m getting clients, not the majority of them, but a good amount, where they’re like, I literally have No. 41k, no stock accounts, zero real estate, and now a 100% of their portfolio is all digital currency investments plus like millions of dollars in the accounts. And how we go about protecting it is actually really simple.

00:13:14:28 – 00:13:53:11

Brian T. Bradley: We would just assign them to a asset management, limited partnership or into an hour into an asset protection trust, you know, either way into it indirectly, you know, an asset protection, specifically a bridge trust, which is just a name that we use by reference. But we just want to make sure those exchanges and those wallets are not in your name. And then the benefit of transferring your crypto exchanges and wallets into your trusts or like a limited partnership for management company, is simply that if a person like you who’s investing in crypto or like Bitcoin, you do get sued, you know, or you do go into debt.

00:13:53:21 – 00:14:24:14

Brian T. Bradley: The course can force you to disclose all of your assets in your holdings. And this also includes currencies and properties. This doesn’t include your digital cryptocurrencies, remember, is defined as a property. So this goes without saying that since crypto is a legal property and it can be subject to court orders and disclosures and leads and even, you know, the exchanges that you’re investing in can be subpoenaed to reveal the account ownership. So the information and the amounts and the funds available that you have.

00:14:24:26 – 00:15:07:15

Brian T. Bradley: So these funds are very vulnerable to being seized by creditors. So the only way to really protect your cryptocurrency is to include it in your asset protection planning like you would any other asset like real estate. And so there is this misconception we were chatting about before we started recording that cryptocurrency is untraceable and there’s no way to know if you own it or how much you are. This is just not the case. In fact, I think like Forbes wrote an article about this topic last year, but when you’re in a lawsuit and you just the discovery is served on you, which means that you’re getting sued, the other attorney sends your attorney a bunch of questions, you know, that you have to answer.

00:15:07:17 – 00:15:38:06

Brian T. Bradley: And then judges sometimes send out asset disclosure lists and then a judge orders you to disclose your assets. You either lie under oath and commit perjury and say you don’t own any, or you go to judge and you go to jail for that, or you just disclose it. And each transaction in the remember that you make is recorded in that audible blockchain ledger. And the exchanges again can be serve subpoenas on and they will disclose what you own and how much. And the IRS is already tracking this stuff anyways.

00:15:38:23 – 00:16:12:06

Brian T. Bradley: And so the good thing is that when you transfer your cryptocurrency into an asset protection trust or that limited partnership, you know, the trust itself is a grantors trust. And because it’s a Grantors trust, you have no tax issues transferring it into it. So some people transfer their their exchanges into purely offshore trusts like a pure foreign Cook Island trust or a Belize trust or, you know, Caymans, whatever. And that’s not needed. And that would actually expose you to manage mandatory disclosures.

00:16:12:14 – 00:16:44:24

Brian T. Bradley: And then you’ll be required to report your assets every year that you own in that trust because you have to disclose all your assets that you have and purely foreign offshore trusts with the IRS and entities. So it actually goes against what you’re trying to do. So what you want is to have some sort of offshore strengths which we can break down a bridge trust and what a bridge trust even is later on. But then you want to domesticated here in the US and you just need to remember your crypto is a property, so we need to protect it like we normally would.

00:16:46:09 – 00:17:19:29

Brian T. Bradley: So let’s unpack their. One of the first things that. I definitely want to reemphasize to people, especially the newer people, is that, yes, when things are put on blockchain, blockchain is a digital database. When you can follow everything, you really can follow the mind, you can follow transactions all the way through the course of origin to where they ultimately end up. Now, you don’t necessarily know where the origin is, whether it’s a wallet or who that wallet is, etc.. But you can follow the money. Now. One of the things that you brought up as far as being able to protect was creating this this trust now.

00:17:20:01 – 00:17:22:14

Brian T. Bradley: Can you kind of the brain trust, can you make kind of.

00:17:23:13 – 00:17:24:09

Brian T. Bradley: The precious.

00:17:24:12 – 00:17:30:02

Brian T. Bradley: Bridge trust? Can you kind of go into explaining a little bit what is a bridge trust and how it’s being utilized?

00:17:30:12 – 00:18:04:21

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah. So a bridge trust is a hybrid trust of a domestic US based trust and a foreign trust, specifically a Cook Islands trust. So think of it like a hybrid car. You’re taking the best of both. You’re taking the strength of a Cook Islands trust and combining it with the domesticated ease of use of a US based trust. And so a bridge trust has been around for over 20 years, almost 30 years. And it is now the Premier Trust, the kind of use for high net worth investors, like basically generally someone who has $1,000,000 or more.

00:18:05:05 – 00:18:37:16

Brian T. Bradley: Now the end of the day, it is a fully registered foreign offshore asset protection trust with all that 40 years worth of working case law all the way up to the Supreme Court. So again, it’s fully a it is a fully registered foreign offshore trusts. From the day we create it was an offshore trustee and standby like number two position in your back pocket just in case you ever need them. But what we do is we build the bridge back for IRS purposes so that the IRS classifies that foreign trust as actually a domestic U.S.

00:18:37:18 – 00:19:08:07

Brian T. Bradley: trust. And we do this by complying with U.S. Section 7701 is what’s called the court test and the full test. And it’s like having two passports. You can have your Swiss passports and your U.S. passport. And as long as you have your U.S. passport, the U.S. will consider you a U.S. resident. The same thing here is through a trust. As long as you meet that two part test under a U.S. Section 77 or one, the U.S. is going to say that it’s a domestic trust. So as long as you have a U.S.

00:19:08:09 – 00:19:45:24

Brian T. Bradley: jurisdiction that has primary supervision over your trust, so like Nevada, and then you meet the court test by saying hey and then adding you into the trust as a trustee. As long as we meet those that criteria, the IRS is going to classify that trust as a domestic trust. And so now what you have is you have all the strength of a foreign trust, what’s called statutory non-recognition. We don’t recognize any countries pour over judgments in our back pocket, including the US, but what we’re doing now is making it cheaper to set up because normally a foreign trust is going to cost like 40 to $70000 to set up and like $12,000 a year to maintain.

00:19:46:03 – 00:20:16:17

Brian T. Bradley: So you have the strongest trust in the world, but most people are going to a form to create them. But by domesticating it, it’s not going to be cheaper to maintain. You’re going to have that strength in the back pocket. But by being classified by the IRS domestically now, we don’t have to do those IRS disclosures. So now we don’t have to disclose what cryptocurrencies currencies are holding in this trust like you would. If you’re purely foreign, you’re not going to have to file those, what, 3520s and 3520 days disclosing all the assets that the trust has.

00:20:16:24 – 00:20:49:20

Brian T. Bradley: You’re not going to have to do facto disclosures. So now it’s cheaper to maintain and you’re not going to have any tax filings because it’s domestic. Worst case scenario, you have a doomsday lawsuit. You have to disclose what you own in the lawsuit because it’s pending litigation. You’re going to get the discovery served on you. We would do what’s called breaking that bridge. Now the trust is purely foreign. Now you’re going to be removed as control, but now all your assets are going to be safe. And if as cryptocurrencies, we can go so far as now to offer a trustee, recreate new wallets and exchanges, and then move the assets.

00:20:50:18 – 00:21:25:22

Brian T. Bradley: Well, that is very intricate and very thought out. So obviously, this is not your first rodeo and you have been through a lot of ways within the legal ways to protect crypto assets. But like you said, it’s, it sounds like it’s it is a little bit ah, it’s an investment to get all of this set up, but it’s probably the most secure way to both protect yourself, to not also have to be reporting everything. And then if by some chance you are find yourself in some litigation and still need to protect yourself, you still have that in your back pocket, kind of like you said.

00:21:25:24 – 00:21:28:11

Brian T. Bradley: So you’re kind of you’re kind of protecting yourself from all angles.

00:21:28:21 – 00:21:54:21

Brian T. Bradley: All right. And it’s all set up before you, before you need it. And then you’re not doing the illegal stuff like hiding assets, which then the IRS will eventually discover and drop the heavy hammer on you, you know, and you need to. And by then realizing, okay, this is, you know, IRS classified asset as a property, now let’s just protect it. How it should be like a normal property. And there’s just like typical asset protection. It’s just a matter of making sure the proper layers are in place and managed.

00:21:55:12 – 00:22:18:27

Brian T. Bradley: Right. And I know this is very interesting and I know a lot of people who you’ve worked a lot of years like. I mean, just people who are going to be listening to this can be like never realized this is an option how to get this going. And it sounds like something that you and your firm kind of like specialize in. So for someone like. Keen to set something up like this. Would they be able to work with you on this or are there other things that you’d be able to potentially work with them with?

00:22:19:03 – 00:22:48:01

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah, they can work. So we represent clients nationally and we have probably close to 4000 clients protecting over 5 billion worth of assets. And so like some of my clients have, I think like works like 50 million worth of cryptocurrencies. So yeah, so point being we work with everybody in nation and worldwide is asset protection. So, which is basically, you know, transactional and. Yeah. So, you know, we’re not exclusive to one state.

00:22:49:02 – 00:23:12:24

Brian T. Bradley: Which is great. And I’m sure there’ll be people calling with some questions, but as a follow up to that. As more and more assets are being introduced into the crypto space, whether it’s through nfts, defi, metaverse, everything else. How do you see the law continuing to evolve in the future as more and more of the world is moving towards blockchain?

00:23:13:10 – 00:23:56:28

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah, that’s a good question. I think that, you know, the great thing about the blockchain is that, you know, you’re providing for secure transfers, you know, a secure, non repeatable piece of information coming from one person to another anywhere in the world. And so this is really a digital form of actual property title. You know, this is called a digital signature. And so instead of me having, you know, like a piece of paper, which, you know, like, I know not all other people are going to be able to see me waving a piece of paper. So having an actual, like tangible document which I can forge and then have to go into like all this whole legal battle of like, is it like real evidence and chain of title? Well, now we have it all connected through an unalterable, changeable blockchain.

00:23:57:02 – 00:24:36:15

Brian T. Bradley: And this is really is revolutionary to where someone can’t just say, like, I don’t like this. I want to go in a reset and change it. And so it’s there is traceable. And then you’re going to start getting into more digital contracts and even digital trusts for like transferring immediately title. And the great thing about that blockchain is you don’t need third party administrators on this. It can just start becoming peer to peer. And so this is one of the beautiful things about the blockchain, is when you’re talking about a distrust and, you know, fiat currencies and like the governments and you’re talking about distrust of third party banks and the banking system, the financial system.

00:24:37:08 – 00:24:43:22

Brian T. Bradley: Well, partly why they’re so mad about it is because it takes them out of the equation. And now this is become peer to peer through billions of billions of people.

00:24:44:12 – 00:24:44:27

Brian T. Bradley: Right.

00:24:46:18 – 00:25:02:24

Brian T. Bradley: And so many good points there. And it’s just this is where things are headed. And there’s going to be a lot more ways that because things are going to be a little bit more transparent, it allows for more ways to potentially litigate and actually brings me to go ahead.

00:25:03:10 – 00:25:04:27

Brian T. Bradley: I was gonna say anything. I was just adjusting.

00:25:05:18 – 00:25:44:08

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah. I was going to say, man, like, you’ve given us a lot of really good information, a lot of good things to unpack in that we can work with and always like to finish with a couple of fun questions and one that kind of comes up in this unique situation when we have a lawyer on on you have had years of litigation. You’ve dealt with all kinds of different types of trials. If you had like a couple of things that you could impart wisdom to people who typically don’t know about. I don’t know if they ever find themselves in some legal mess. What do you think are one or two like core things that a lot of people get tripped up on that if they like just tidbits of like, hey, hopefully you get in trouble.

00:25:44:10 – 00:25:47:28

Brian T. Bradley: If you get in trouble like one or two or three, these things will really help you.

00:25:48:11 – 00:26:19:05

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah, I’d be like one. If you have something to protect, protect it before you get in trouble, before you get sued. Because we can’t do anything for you after the fact. You’re in the rabbit hole I from. I’d have to exempt the lawsuit. So to protect things, it has to be set up beforehand, not after. It’s like trying to get insurance after you hit somebody with your car, after your house burns down. It just kind of denies, you know, so. So same thing in the asset protection world. And then the next thing is, don’t try to be the expert, okay? You know, if I go to see my doctor, I’m not a doctor.

00:26:19:07 – 00:26:54:13

Brian T. Bradley: I’m not a medical doctor. So I’m going to listen to what my medical doctor says so that your attorney find one that you trust. And then as you go through it, ask your questions. But I want to be psychic, not always second guessing and saying like, okay, I’m trying to pretend to be the attorney here that tends to go south and it really burns, you know, the relationship with the attorney that you want to protect you and actually ruins your case. So protect yourself beforehand, get a good attorney and don’t play attorney and just take it. To get expert advice, you know, you need to good CPA, get a good CPA who knows cryptocurrency.

00:26:55:06 – 00:26:57:12

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah, I think three solid gems there.

00:26:59:11 – 00:27:11:11

Brian T. Bradley: With everything that you’ve been through, your journey of life and learning what you have. If you could go and give yourself one or two pieces of wisdom when you were first getting started in your lawyer lawyer career, what would you tell yourself?

00:27:13:02 – 00:27:41:08

Brian T. Bradley: You win more battles with kindness sometimes. You got to be tough and you can’t get pushed around. But sometimes if you come off too strong, you’re just asking for a fight. So I learn, walk softly, carry a big stick. If you’re always walking around with a big stick, swing it around. Most of the time you’re always going to be fighting and then you might lose more. And then the other one is just, you know, like we were talking about how the athletes thing. Like sometimes we can’t, we have pride. So I’m like, check your ego at the door.

00:27:42:04 – 00:28:05:18

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah, two, two great ones. Great reminders for. For myself and for everyone listening. Just. Kill people with kindness. Sometimes you gotta be ready for war, but you are going to do a lot more good with with being kind. And don’t let your pride get in the way. So thank you for those two great reminders. But as we wrap up here, Brian, what is a final thought that you want to leave with everyone?

00:28:06:15 – 00:28:37:00

Brian T. Bradley: Yeah, like a the one that I’ve been kind of thinking of is people always ask about money, how to make money, how to protect money. Know. But unless your mind is right and you’re managing your life, I say, like, get your toxic dysfunction and be like yourself for your life and the people you affiliate under control. Because then it’ll be amazing how fast your money accelerates when you’re under control, your mindset is under control, and you surround yourself with great people and successful people. You’re going to accelerate so far financially, but it doesn’t work until you have the mindset.

00:28:38:06 – 00:28:48:11

Brian T. Bradley: Hundred percent. So appreciate that. Final thought. Get your mind right, Brian. What are ways that people can connect with you, learn more about what you got going on if they want to reach out.

00:28:49:04 – 00:29:23:09
