Billy started his first job after college, soon realizing this typical path wasn’t for him. Instead, he began a career as a professional poker player, eventually scaling it into a successful multi-entity business and founded Forever Jobless. He shares with us what poker has taught him about risk, failure, and standing out.

In this episode, hear:

• Developing a tolerance for risk, failure, and loss
• How do you bounce back from failures?
• Are you born with the ability to move forward in the face of failure?
• Making the shift from long-term mindset if you’ve had a short-term mindset
• Working hard now to pave the easier road later
• How Billy used long-form content to stand out amongst the noise
