It's Graham, and I'm stoked to share my latest episode of the Intentional Leadership Podcast! Today's episode, Unlocking Success: Barry Garapedian's Post-Wall Street Playbook for Young Leaders & Business Growth, we're talking with a truly unique individual, Barry Garapedian from Meg7 Consulting. Now, Barry spent nearly four decades on Wall Street, building a multi-billion dollar financial advisory business. But here's the cool part: after all that success, he pivoted to something entirely different, something he's incredibly passionate about. Barry's now dedicating his time to equipping young people with the skills they need for real-world success, and he's doing it in some seriously unconventional and effective ways. We dive into his entrepreneurial mindset from day one, how he consistently stayed at the top of his game for decades, and the fascinating, structured approach he takes to everything – from his daily routine (think 4:15 AM starts and cold showers!) to how he strategically cultivates positive energy. We talk about building confidence, the power of a "fail forward" mentality, and some mind-blowing tactics he uses to help young minds stand out and thrive. And get this – he even shares how he used his skills as a magician from the Magic Castle in Los Angeles to his advantage!
