## Resource

In today’s episode, I sit down with Justine Reiss to share my journey from early financial success to losing over $100 million and rebuilding with a new perspective on faith, values, and purpose. We talk about why sports has always been a backdrop for something bigger, and how learning to love what you don’t like about what you love can change everything. I break down the role of gratitude, forgiveness, and accountability in shaping mindset, along with the power of consistent daily practices. We also get into timing, why too soon can be a burden, and how experience becomes your greatest advantage as you grow.
