E46: Truth About Focus, Failure, and Perseverance - Steve Libman

Failure is a common theme among entrepreneurs and investors, and if you take a look through most successful people’s stories they’ll give a nod to some experience in their past that made them who they are today. In today’s episode Steve Libman shares his story, and the wisdom he’s learned through failure how to hone in on what really matters and relentlessly chase your goals.

Steve Libman is an incredible experienced investor who spent years wholesaling, flipping and developing residential land and is now solely focused on raising capital for large  commercial projects. 

Steve is an active member on the board at his church, sits on the Rutgers advisory board (on design thinking), and has been published in Forbes multiple times this year. He credits his grandfather as his first mentor, and since then several successful investors in the industry have been mentors for him. He looks at life through an eternal lens, and says his purpose is to be a light for people in a dark place, and plant seeds of eternal hope with them through his business, goals, and life.
