Episode #49: Hayk Tadevosyan | The Power of Mindset, Responsibility & Relentless Discipline
In Episode 49, Greg sits down with Hayk Tadevosyan—entrepreneur, author, coach, and living embodiment of the American Dream—to explore the powerful forces that shape a person’s character and destiny.
From a childhood in post-Soviet Armenia to the challenges of immigration, homelessness, and seven years separated from his mother and siblings, Hayk shares the raw and unfiltered origin story that forged his worldview. Through vivid stories—gang-ridden streets, language barriers, early labor, and relentless pressure to survive—he reveals how adversity can create either heroes or villains…and how the choice is always ours.
Greg and Hayk dive deep into:
• The Hero vs. Villain mindset — why similar trauma produces entirely different lives
• Radical responsibility — the moment Hayk realized he was the problem…and the solution
• Discipline over feelings — how one marathon transformed his business, body, and life
• The power of your word — why doing what you say you’ll do changes everything
• Purpose vs. pleasure — the truth about sacrifice, mastery, and becoming irreplaceable
• Generational impact — what Hayk wants to leave his children beyond money
• The lonely path of excellence — and why most people will never walk it
It’s emotional, philosophical, and deeply practical—filled with stories that stay with you and lessons that demand to be written down.
If you’ve ever needed a reminder that the conditions of your life rise after the mindset, not before…this is an episode you’ll return to again and again.
