In this powerful episode, NCAA champion and ex-Wall Street professional Costas Theocharidis shares his remarkable journey from a small Greek village to becoming a Division I athlete, corporate consultant, and successful real estate entrepreneur. A silver medalist in world championships, Costas reveals how the warrior mindset he developed in volleyball carried him through 20 years in corporate America and ultimately to financial independence.

Listen as he candidly discusses sending 2,500 emails to land one interview, surviving the 2008 financial crisis, and building a real estate portfolio in one of America's most competitive markets. His story proves that true success isn't about overnight wins, but rather building strong foundations through persistence and resilience. Author of "Warrior for Life," Costas offers invaluable insights on:

  1. Transitioning from athletics to corporate success
  2. Building mental toughness through setbacks
  3. Creating wealth through real estate investment
  4. The power of embracing failures as fuel

This episode is perfect for  athletes planning their next chapter, professionals seeking change, or entrepreneurs building their empire. Real wisdom, no shortcuts.
