Tzachi Ozeri has lived through the kind of rock bottom most people only imagine, and built a career out of what he learned climbing back from it. When Tzachi Ozeri joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, he walked through that journey in detail, from homelessness and addiction to the choices that eventually turned his life around.
The conversation moves past the facts of his story and into the mindset behind it: how he came to see happiness as a choice, why he let go of a victim mentality, and what persistence actually looks like when you're rebuilding from nothing.
