What does it really take to start over and build a life with purpose?
In this episode of the Get Smart With Money Podcast, I'm joined by Victor, Co-Founder and President of Avendo LLC, to talk about his incredible journey from leaving former Yugoslavia to building a successful business in the United States, leading it through a successful exit after more than 20 years, and starting a new chapter in fintech.
Throughout our conversation, Victor shares the lessons he learned through entrepreneurship, family, leadership, and personal growth. We discuss why success is about more than financial achievement, how communication shapes both business and relationships, and why having the courage to begin again can lead to your greatest opportunities.
