Hey, Bob here!
Some people crack under pressure. Others turn it into fuel.
Jacopo Iasiello is one of the latter.
His life has been anything but easy—
but that’s exactly why he’s built something incredible.
From playing professional soccer in Italy to losing everything
after a career-ending injury, Jacopo’s story isn’t about avoiding failure—
it’s about rebuilding after it.
That’s what Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortableis all about.
Because growth isn’t about playing it safe—it’s about facing the hard moments head-on.
And Jacopo? He mastered that art.
From Dreams to Dead Ends
Jacopo left home at 14 to chase his dream of playing professional soccer.
He gave everything to the sport—until an injury ripped that future away from him.
Confused. Lost. Stuck.
That’s how he felt when his dream ended. But his mother’s words changed everything:
“You will find another way to succeed.”
And he did.
He pivoted to business, starting with a small jewelry store in a terrible location—
only to fail miserably. But instead of quitting, he studied, adapted,
and came back stronger—
eventually scaling the business to 20+ stores and millions in revenue.
But he didn’t stop there.
Jacopo saw real estate as the ultimate vehicle for freedom.
Inspired by Rich Dad Poor Dad, he went all in—
flipping properties, building wealth, and expanding globally.
His journey took him from Italy to Miami, where he knew no one,
spoke no English, and slept on the floor—but he refused to give up.
Now? He’s flipped over 355 properties, built a real estate empire,
and mentors others on achieving financial freedom.
Lessons from Jacopo’s Journey
1. Failure is Only Final if You Let It Be
Losing soccer should’ve broken him. Instead, he rebuilt from scratch—twice.
2. Your Environment is Everything
The people around you shape your future—so choose wisely.
3. Real Success is About Giving Back
Jacopo now helps both the ultra-wealthy and those struggling to rebuild their lives—
because money alone doesn’t make you rich.
Why This Matters
Jacopo had every reason to quit.
But instead, he chose to rise.
Success isn’t about avoiding obstacles—
it’s about who you become in the process of overcoming them.
Uncomfortable Pick of the Week
Movie: The Pursuit of Happyness–
A story about resilience, betting on yourself, and refusing to let circumstances define you.
Because real freedom isn’t just about money—
it’s about having the courage to build the life you actually want.
Until next time,
Bob
