Summary

In today’s episode, I chat with Steven Cohen of the Millennial Millionaire podcast. I share my journey from growing up with nothing to becoming a successful sports executive, only to lose over $100 million and find my true purpose. We discuss the importance of asking for help, the role of setbacks in personal growth, and how to cultivate energy and align with the right people and ideas. I also explain how understanding the meaning we give to our past and the significance of living in the present can transform our lives. This conversation offers insights into navigating life's challenges and achieving lasting success through personal and professional growth.
