What does it really take to build lasting success when you arrive in America with no English, no money, and no roadmap? Entrepreneur and investor Viktor Prozapas shares the mindset that helped him become a millionaire before 24, grow a construction company to 85 employees across the United States, and expand into investments, hospitality, coffee, and wellness. Rather than chasing shortcuts, he reveals why investing in people beats investing in numbers, why pressure became his greatest advantage, and how faith continues to guide every business decision. From entrepreneurship and leadership to business growth and purpose-driven success, this conversation explores the principles behind building a legacy that lasts. The biggest lessons are not about making money. They are about becoming the kind of person capable of creating lasting impact.
