In the new episode of The Determined Society, Shawn French sits down with Jay Roberts for a powerful conversation on adoption, ambition, Wall Street, failure, rebuilding, real estate, health, family, and what it really means to play the long game.

The episode dives into different chapters of Jay’s life, including:

• Being adopted from Korea and raised in America
• Growing up with a single mother and no safety net
• Turning insecurity into drive
• Losing family during the financial crisis
• Why success is built through process, not shortcuts
• The power of writing goals down
• Building a vision for your life, family, and business
• Wall Street, investment banking, and extreme work ethic
• Public failure and starting over in Miami
• Real estate, big deals, and thinking bigger
• Health, longevity, and quality of life
• Family, presence, freedom, and what really matters

This conversation goes beyond money and business. It is about process, resilience, ownership, health, family, and building a life that is not just successful on paper, but meaningful in real life.
