In this episode of The Optimized Mind, Dr. Kate talks to Elliot Kallen, entrepreneur, author and founder of Prosperity Financial, which he has run for the past 30 years. The discussion focuses on Elliot’s recent book – Driven – which he co-authored with fellow entrepreneur Adam Torres (episode 43) in which they explore the many paths to entrepreneurship. Dr. Kate and Elliot explore the variables related to successful entrepreneurship through an authentic and human lens. They take a deep dive into the charity, A Brighter Day, which Elliot created following the tragic loss of his son to suicide in 2015. The idea of how we can all live our best lives, now, while making a difference and giving back is woven throughout this inspiring conversation.
