NEW YORK, NY - October 17, 2025 - EasyKnock CEO Jarred Kessler is calling on business leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators to rethink what success means in today’s fast-changing world. Drawing from more than fifteen years of experience in finance, technology, and entrepreneurship, Kessler is advocating for a broader, more sustainable approach to success — one built on adaptability, empathy, and continuous learning.
“Success isn’t about the title on your business card or the number in your bank account,” said Kessler. “It’s about how you think, how you adapt, and how you lead when things don’t go according to plan.”
Kessler, who has led EasyKnock in reimagining homeownership options for thousands of Americans, says the modern business landscape demands a new mindset. As economic uncertainty, rapid technological change, and shifting consumer expectations redefine industries, Kessler believes leaders must prioritize clarity and purpose over speed and ego.
“When markets get noisy, people look for direction,” he said. “Good leaders don’t just make decisions — they simplify chaos and help others move forward with focus and confidence.”
A Call for Adaptability and Human-Centered Leadership
Recent studies underscore the urgency of Kessler’s message. According to McKinsey & Company, 70% of business transformations fail due to lack of clear vision and adaptable leadership. Meanwhile, a 2024 Deloitte survey found that 78% of CEOs believe agility and resilience are now more important than growth alone.
“Technology doesn’t disrupt industries — people who use technology better do,” Kessler emphasized. “AI and automation are powerful, but they still need human judgment, empathy, and courage behind them.”
As artificial intelligence, automation, and digital tools transform the workplace, Kessler says leaders must use these technologies to empower people, not replace them. “Machines can process data, but only people can give that data meaning,” he said.
Kessler’s approach to leadership is grounded in his own experience building and scaling companies through volatile markets. He views failure not as defeat, but as feedback.
“Failure is data,” he explained. “It’s not the end of a story — it’s information that tells you how to adjust and get better. Success isn’t about avoiding mistakes; it’s about learning faster than your competitors.”
His philosophy reflects a growing trend in business toward viewing resilience and adaptability as core leadership skills. A recent Harvard Business Review study found that resilient leaders are 50% more likely to sustain profitability during periods of disruption.
While Kessler’s message is aimed at business leaders, he believes the same principles apply to anyone striving for personal growth or professional progress.
“Start by defining what success means to you,” he said. “Don’t chase validation — chase vision. Learn to listen more than you speak, and see every challenge as an opportunity to get sharper.”
He encourages individuals to focus on clarity, curiosity, and compassion — three traits he credits with sustaining his own career across industries. “Curiosity keeps you growing. Clarity keeps you moving. Compassion keeps you human,” he said.
A Movement Toward Redefining Success
Kessler hopes his message sparks a broader conversation about what success really looks like in the 21st century. He’s urging business schools, companies, and entrepreneurs to integrate human-centered thinking into strategy and leadership training.
“Success isn’t a finish line — it’s a mindset,” Kessler concluded. “If we can redefine it to mean impact, adaptability, and integrity, we’ll not only build better businesses — we’ll build a better future.”
Kessler invites leaders, educators, and professionals alike to take inventory of how they define success — and to align their goals with purpose and adaptability. He encourages individuals to:
-
Reflect on how they respond to failure and change.
-
Commit to lifelong learning, especially in areas outside their comfort zone.
-
Lead with empathy, especially in times of uncertainty.
-
Use technology as a tool for empowerment, not replacement.
“Everyone has the power to redefine success in their own lives,” Kessler said. “It starts with how you think — and what you choose to value.”
