My conversation with Shark Tank's Robert Herjavec left me truly inspired. From his humble beginnings as an immigrant living in poverty to becoming one of the most successful tech entrepreneurs, Robert's story is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. What struck me most was his emphasis on joy – not just experiencing it, but embodying it as a transformative force in business and life. He opened up about his darkest moments, including thoughts of suicide, and how serving others at a homeless shelter helped him rediscover his purpose. Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to scale your business or someone seeking to find meaning in your journey, Robert's insights on moving from hard work to smart work, and his perspective on wealth versus true fulfillment, will challenge your thinking and inspire action.
