Brad Chandler opens up about his remarkable dual journey as both a wildly successful real estate investor with 4,500 deals under his belt and as someone who overcame deep-seated personal struggles that once threatened everything he built.
The conversation takes a profound turn when Brad reveals how a seemingly routine therapy session for his son's anxiety unexpectedly uncovered his own unresolved childhood trauma. This discovery launched him into a transformative healing journey that would radically change his approach to business, relationships, and life itself.
Brad doesn't hold back on the consequences of operating from unhealed trauma, candidly sharing how subconscious limiting beliefs cost him $9 million across five devastating real estate mistakes. From a $930,000 loss on a property where he misunderstood a title search to a $1.9 million trademark lawsuit fueled by ego rather than business logic, he connects these financial missteps directly to the "I'm not enough" story programmed into his childhood nervous system.
The most powerful segment comes when Brad explains his breakthrough realization: every negative behavior—from workaholism to substance abuse to relationship problems—stems from untruths formed between birth and age 10. Through his "Joy Regenerator" technique, he demonstrates how neuroplasticity can rewrite these neural pathways in just 3-4 hours of targeted work, freeing people from decades of destructive patterns.
For real estate investors specifically, Brad offers a paradigm-shifting perspective on success. By healing the root causes of limiting beliefs first, investors make clearer, strategic decisions unhindered by emotional baggage. They build businesses based on impact rather than validation-seeking, which paradoxically leads to greater financial success than directly chasing money ever could.
