Why Comfort Is the Enemy of Greatness | Vince McCullam

Описание: Vince McCullam went from growing up poor in a family of six to becoming a multi-time C-suite executive — and still felt unfulfilled. After being laid off again, a mentor challenged him with a simple question that changed everything: Why aren’t you using your talents for yourself?

In this episode of No Rescue Podcast, Vince shares his journey from corporate security to entrepreneurship, the fear of walking away from a high salary, and how faith, mentors, and family pushed him to build something of his own.
