What does success actually look like?
In this episode of Chasing Joy, Bryan, Spencer, and Wayne sit down with entrepreneur and mentor Jeff Brady to explore the difference between financial success and a life built with intention.
Jeff’s story starts in an unlikely place… a clueless college graduate cold-calling for commission sales. Through goal-setting, mentorship, and relentless persistence, he eventually built a successful company, raised a thriving family, and discovered a deeper calling… helping young professionals design meaningful lives before they get stuck in the wrong career.
Along the way, Jeff shares lessons on work ethic, networking, and the surprising power of simply asking people for guidance. Today, he mentors young adults using a pay-it-forward philosophy that has helped dozens land their dream jobs and build lives aligned with their values.
This conversation explores:
• The difference between money and meaning
• Why most young professionals don’t know what they don’t know
• The lost art of networking and mentorship
• How goal-setting can shape an entire life
• Why designing your life early matters more than chasing success later
If you’ve ever wondered how to build a career, raise a family, and still pursue joy… this episode is a powerful reminder that success isn’t something you stumble into.
It’s something you design.
