Most people think success requires the “right” credentials, but sometimes, the unconventional path leads to extraordinary results. In this episode, I had a fascinating conversation with Patrick Carroll, who became a self-made real estate titan without even going to college. He opens up about the mindset that allowed him to walk into rooms full of Harvard graduates with unwavering confidence, his strategies for learning through aggressive learning from mentors, and why he still strives to be “the most broke person in the room” despite his massive success. Join the conversation below, and share your thoughts: What unconventional wisdom has served you best in your own journey?
