What do you do when the opportunity you've always dreamed of finally shows up — and taking it means chasing someone else's definition of success instead of your own? Kenneth Kollasch had a professional soccer contract in Brazil in hand at 21 years old, and one question from his grandfather over dinner made him realize it wasn't what he actually wanted.
In this episode, Kenneth Kollasch joins Jaclyn to unpack the moment that redirected his entire life: walking away from professional soccer once he realized what he truly valued — presence, family, and fulfillment over a path that only looked like winning — and how that same clarity now runs five businesses without running him into the ground. It's a conversation about defining success on your own terms, building a "tribe" that will tell you the truth, and choosing fulfillment over the path everyone else would call a win.
About Kenneth Kollasch:
