Ross Mandell’s story is one of extremes — massive success, public failure, and a powerful second act few ever achieve.
In this episode of My Fame, Explained, host Larry Gilbert sits down with the former Wall Street power player often labeled the “Bad Boy of Wall Street” to unpack the real story behind the headlines. Ross speaks candidly about the ambition that fueled his rise, the decisions that led to his fall, and the hard personal work required to rebuild his life from the ground up.
Today, Ross has shifted his focus from Wall Street to Main Street, dedicating his life to financial education, mindset training, and helping others avoid the mistakes he once made. Through his Rock Solid philosophy, he teaches that true wealth isn’t measured in dollars — it’s built on discipline, accountability, and purpose.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- What life was really like behind the scenes on Wall Street
- The emotional and mental impact of losing everything
- How Ross rebuilt his identity after public failure
- Why mindset matters more than money
- What legacy means when fame fades
This is an unfiltered conversation about redemption, responsibility, and redefining success on your own terms.
