Take The Power Back - Episode #10 Most people don’t fail because they aren’t talented, they fail because they adopt a victim mentality. In this episode I sit down with Steve Schmitt, a successful financial advisor and entrepreneur, to break down why most young professionals fail. We explore the complications of earning six figures early in life, what it takes to be a successful financial leader, and why "victim mentality" is killing Gen Z's careers.
