Oh, and he also launched his own company which helps students find their purpose through education and helps educators work with their students using social and emotional learning (SEL).

Brad said, “My purpose in life is to motivate, inspire, and empower young people all around the world to live their dreams and put forth their best effort and everything they do.”
