The Mindset That Made Me | Former Pro Soccer Player and Financial Advisor Jake Rozhansky

Elevator 252: Jake Rozhansky is a retired professional soccer player turned wealth advisor based in New York City. A kid from Maryland raised by a single mother, he was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis as a toddler and told he could end up in a wheelchair. Instead he captained his club team, won a national championship as a freshman at UVA, played professionally in Israel and the United States, and then walked away from the game at 28 to start completely over.In this podcast: Jake takes us through the identity shift of being known as "the soccer player" his whole life to building something entirely new. We talk about where his confidence actually came from (and why he was unapologetically cocky), the boring and lonely reality of being a pro athlete overseas, and how a COVID wake-up call about money pushed him into a finance career he wanted to quit every single day for six months, until he didn't.
