Summary: Are you focused on Success or Significance? Richard Jaffe has enjoyed incredible success in most endeavors he has undertaken. A loving and supportive wife, 3 great kids, many successful business ventures. I look at his life and say, "Why can't we all have what Richard has? Well what is the secret? Is he happy? What is he focused on? how did he get here?" "Success is what we create for ourselves, Significance is what we create for other people" Richard Jaffe Richard could easily be defined as a Shark on paper, but what I admire about him is how much character and resolve matter to him. His success has not been earned but with much trial, setback, and pain...which is why his story is so powerful. Spend the next 40 minutes with Richard and I and decide for yourself how you will live a life of significance. Session 36 of Shark Tank Podcast is sponsored by: Check out his session HERE!
