S5 E7 From Stuck to Unstoppable: The Knowledge That Made Failure Impossible (with Gal Ezra)
What do you do when your life plan collapses overnight? This week, I’m joined by Gal Ezra — entrepreneur, investor, and CEO of Empower Funding — whose story starts with a gut-punch: at 19, he left the U.S. for a routine visa renewal… and got denied. Suddenly, he was stuck in South Africa alone with no job, no network, and no clear future. Then came the turning point: Gal asked his ultra-successful father for money… and got a hard no. Instead, his father offered something far more valuable: knowledge — and a promise that if Gal used it, failing would be “impossible.” Gal did. By 25, he built his first million-dollar company, went on to co-found major events and festival businesses serving 40,000+ people annually, and later launched a property finance company with zero experience that now finances millions. We dig into the mindset shifts, principles, and practical tools Gal uses to build businesses, lead teams, and help others create real success — without needing the “perfect background” to get started.
