The Red Chair – Featuring Brad Papa

I sat down for a raw and honest conversation about loss, leadership, faith, mental health, and what it truly means to care about people—not just in business, but in life.

Growing up in Kansas City, I experienced the loss of my mom at a young age, and that shaped how I see success today. For me, it’s not about what you achieve—it’s about how you make people feel. In this conversation, I share how I found my path in sales, the challenges of putting myself out there early on, and why trust is the foundation of everything I do.

We also go deeper into the harder seasons—faith, avoided conflict, and what it looks like when nothing is working and you’re forced to rebuild from the inside out. Those moments, as difficult as they are, are often what shape you the most.

If you’re a leader, an agent, or navigating a tough season, I hope this conversation meets you right where you are.
