Take The Power Back - Episode #8

Most people don’t fail because they aren’t talented, they fail because their expectations are wrong.

In this episode I sit down with wealth advisor and entrepreneur Chandler Durham to break down what actually separates the people who succeed from those who quit early.

From building a career in financial services, to turning a practice into a business, this conversation is a masterclass for Gen Z and young professionals who want more than a “safe” career.
