True success means balancing health, relationships, spirituality, and business. In this episode, I had a deeply personal conversation with the Founder of Clever Investor, Cody Sperber, who shared his raw story of hitting rock bottom before finding his path to purpose. After burning through $30K in credit card debt chasing real estate dreams, Cody was ready to quit, but his friend convinced him to attend one more seminar where he met Lyle, the mentor who significantly helped him change his life. Every empire starts with that “one more try” moment. What would change if you gave your dreams one final shot?
