“When you find out what is most important to you, and you find a way to transfer that into value for others—you sleep better. You’re more excited about life. And I think you’re a success.”
In this episode, Topher Reynoso—founder of Kept.io and former leader at Gusto—joins host Dave Vassilaros for a deep, personal conversation about failure, grit, and finding purpose in your work.
