Nick Salazar. Rock Bottom to Roof Tops. Episode 580 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL) May 18, 2023

Show notes

Nick hasn't had the easiest life but has created one of joy from a lot of pain. His father turned out to be a drug dealer who held his family hostage and by 1995 the abuse had gotten so bad that his mother tried to leave him. Naturally Nick turned to drugs and found himself in a lot of trouble and in custody of homeland security's ICE. That's when he was pulled into roofing from one of his best friends who knew he was facing tough times. Together they built a multimillion-dollar roofing company with a huge number of accolades. Nick became the COO of the firm and built it up but he quickly learned working with friends is trouble too and turned back to drugs. After sobering up in 2017 he carried a solar company up to 2.5M and started his own company. Now with zero employees Nick has one of the fastest growing roofing companies using technology and automation.

In this episode, Brad and Nick discuss his hardships and how it paved the way for his success with his own business and how he hit rock bottom but now has seen the opposite in the roofing business.

Albert Preciado. Applying What You Know and WINNING. Episode 579 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL) May 15, 2023

Show notes

Albert Preciado is the Founder and CEO of The Mortgage Guys, Ambiance Realty and Driven Enterprises. Albert is also a Real Estate Investor. In 2013 Albert bought a 3 unit property and like everything else Albert does he went all in and acquired as many multi-units as possible. This would end up being a Life Changer. Albert's original company was The Mortgage Guy and after mentorship sessions the company's name changed to The Mortgage Guys. The reason why Albert started a mortgage company was because of the pain endured by his parents and himself when they got turned down for a mortgage time after time in the early 90s. Albert always had a dream; to have a house with a big yard and a dog since he was a kid, and it never happened because of unprofessional Real Estate and Mortgage Agents. Looking back, Albert realized how his parents did qualify for a home loan but due to the incompetence of the Real Estate and Mortgage Agents helping at the time, nothing ever happened. Albert committed to start a Mortgage Company from scratch and create a company that will help humble families make their American Dream a reality. Albert's life wasn't always perfect and his mid 20s were full of costly mistakes that could have costed him his life. After many mistakes that led to DUI's, almost death situations and losing everything in the 2008 Mortgage Meltdown and becoming homeless, Albert turned his life around in 2013 when he committed to self improvement and cutting the bullshit from his life one at a time. Today Albert lives his Dream Life with his wife Silvia, his daughter Italia and soon to be born Berlin in the city of Beverly Hills. And finally I want to share all the untold stories of everything I went through in life and how I got to where I am today.

In this episode, Albert and Brad talk about when you apply what you know and go through the entrepreneurial process and journey, you win.
