The New Definition of Success

The New Definition of Success

In Episode 9 of Success Equations, host Pat Hancock sits down with Justice Bigot [https://www.linkedin.com/in/justice-bigot/], author and licensed commercial and residential real estate agent, for a conversation about how success evolves when life gets real. Justice shares how growing up with Haitian roots, strong education values, and early exposure to ownership planted the seed, then how layoffs during Covid pushed him to rethink everything and take control of his path through sales, real estate, and entrepreneurship. He talks about the mindset shift that happens when your “why” becomes family, how his mornings became his anchor through faith, training, and quiet focus before the day gets chaotic, and why consistency matters more than motivation when you are building a life you are proud of. If you are in a season where you want more ownership, more clarity, and a definition of success that actually feels true, this episode will hit home.

How to Win the Day

In Episode 8 of Success Equations, Pat Hancock goes solo and breaks down a simple framework to actually win the day, not just start it. He shares the non negotiables that define a “winning day” for him, including making the bed, reading 20 pages, and getting to the gym before work, plus why sleep and a consistent bedtime make the whole system work. Pat explains how to get one percent better daily using the Rule of 18, how to plan your week with a clear “Big Three,” and how to protect your time by eliminating distractions and executing with intensity. He closes with a practical accountability loop, journaling, affirmations, and the idea that you do not need a massive breakthrough, you need consistency, discipline, and one more rep, call, or action each day.

The Real Estate Shortcut Nobody Uses. Relationships.

In Episode 7 of Success Equations, Pat Hancock sits down with Bernadeau Charles [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernadeau-charles-317b4836b/], commercial lender, real estate investor, and business owner, for a conversation that cuts through the highlight reel and gets into what actually builds momentum. Bernardo shares his story of coming from Haiti, doing everything he was told to do, getting the degree, landing the W2 job, and still feeling like something was missing until Rich Dad Poor Dad flipped the switch. Instead of making a risky jump too early, he breaks down his hybrid approach to freedom, keeping the paycheck while going remote so he could build intelligently, network, and scale without burning the boats. You will hear how one simple BiggerPockets post turned into a real meetup, a real community, and eventually his first deal, plus the hard lessons people do not post online, like a tenant trashing a rental and the pressure of raising money to close a deal. Bernardo explains why you cannot do this alone, how to stop panicking when problems hit, and why clarity plus community is the real advantage in business and real estate. If you want the truth behind building deals, confidence, and a network that saves you when things go sideways, press play.

Who Not How. The Hiring Shift That Finally Unlocked Growth.

In Episode 6 of Success Equations, Pat Hancock goes solo and breaks down the most expensive lesson he learned while building his businesses: trying to do everything himself for far too long. Pat walks through early partnerships that failed, the mistakes behind giving away equity without clear roles, and why misalignment quietly kills momentum. He shares the turning point in 2021 when meeting Mariani changed everything, and how applying the “Who Not How” mindset helped his business grow exponentially by focusing on the right people instead of forcing himself to be the answer to every problem. Pat also covers the real obstacle most founders face, how to pay great hires when revenue feels tight, what to cut, when leverage can help, and why hiring slow and firing fast protects the business. If you are stuck, stretched thin, or flatlining, this episode is a reset on what scaling actually requires.

Sofia shares her childhood in Tampico, Mexico, the values her grandfather drilled into her, and how discipline shaped her early, including starting her first business at eight and working by twelve. She opens up about losing her father, falling into a lifestyle that pulled her away from herself, and the turning point that forced her to choose health, clarity, and a new path before it was too late. Pat and Sofia break down whether entrepreneurs are born or built, why sports create resilience, and how a consistent morning routine, journaling, meditation, and non negotiables can change your trajectory even when motivation is gone. If you feel stuck, burned out, or like you lost yourself, this episode is a reminder that you are not behind, you are one decision away.Sofia Corripio IG: @sociallatina.co [https://www.instagram.com/sociallatina.co/]
