Steve Sims. What It Means to "Go For Stupid". Episode 522 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL) Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

Many speakers who claim to be "onions" – i.e. wrapped in mystical and magical layers of enigmatic meaning – have their metaphors mixed up, because they're typically nothing but smoke and mirrors; get too close, and it's all style and no substance. Steve ain't no onion.

What you see IS what you get. And what you see and get is a man who you'd probably avoid making eye contact within an alley — or anywhere else for that matter. After all, a shaved head, Harley Davidson garb and body piercings on a 5' 11", 240 lb. frame don't scream "let's be friends!" But that's the irony of it all, because despite his gruff exterior, Steve is remarkably open, engaging, generous, intuitive, insightful and competent – and he's leveraged all of this to build a remarkably successful entrepreneurial career. Steve is the visionary founder of the world's first luxury concierge that delivers the highest level of personalized travel, transportation, and cutting-edge entertainment services to corporate executives, celebrities, professional athletes, and other discerning individuals interested in living life to its fullest.

In this episode, Brad and Steve discuss Steve's new book, Go For Stupid among a myriad of other topics and relevant events happening in the world today.

Show notes

Mario is from Springfield IL. He grew up with his mother and his cousins as his brothers.

Mario always wanted to be a rapper/entertainer and recorded his own songs/tapes in the 3rd and 4th grade using radio shack karaoke machines and a lot of miscellaneous wires. Loving basketball at a young age but then ruining his basketball dreams and military opportunity to join the Air Force after getting into some serious trouble with the law as a teenager. He was crushed and turned to the streets. No one would hire him and no one would give me a chance. Mario lost all his siblings all around him to violence and this was an eye opener for him to change. Despite the deaths and the legal trouble, Mario managed to land himself on a few big stages going on tour with Twista and landing a huge TV role on fox on the show Empire. Mario was sleeping in his car just to be a background extra for two years just to save money because that was the entrepreneurial spirit he had.
