Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with John Assaraf to talk about the hard-earned lessons I learned from building, losing, and rebuilding a $100 million empire. I open up about the realities of overcoming setbacks, the shift in values that shaped my journey forward, and how gratitude and resilience became the foundation of a truly fulfilling life. We get into the daily habits that keep us moving forward, the mindset needed to bounce back from failure, and the importance of defining success on your own terms—creating a path that brings genuine purpose and clarity in the face of life’s biggest challenges.
