The gem drop from Tristan: "Everything you've been through, starting from where you began, has ultimately led you to where you are today. Everything falls into place in a perfect alignment."
Join Jiliane and Tristan on this podcast episode as they explore personal growth, relationships, financial habits, the transformative impact of therapy, and their own motivation to pursue entrepreneurship.
Tristan Akong, born and raised in Queens, New York, is a man with a curious and growth-oriented mindset. As the youngest of three boys in an immigrant family from Trinidad and Tobago, he learned the value of personal development and financial literacy. Tristan's journey began after a challenging experience during his senior year of high school, which led him to reflect on his actions and strive for personal growth.
Through his involvement in multi-level marketing, Tristan cultivated a strong foundation in financial literacy, people skills, and self-development. This newfound knowledge motivated him to question conventional paths and seek alternative routes to success. He embraced the practice of writing down his aspirations on post-it notes, later upgrading to a whiteboard, which served as a tangible reminder of his desired future.
The conversation takes a personal turn as Tristan opens up about his relationship with Jiliane's sister, Janille, and how it has impacted his personal growth.
