He shares the mindset that got him to this point—"If you do what is easy, life becomes hard. If you do what is hard, life becomes easy." Jack talks about the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and having the courage to take ownership of your life, even when it feels like the world is against you.This episode will make you reflect on your own journey.
