I bought this plant on a whim and it's not thriving
#Crassula This plant was quit full when I bought it now much of the original growth is brown and dead. There has been some new growth but Im not succeeding in maintaining that growth.

That soil looks super wet and consequently, may be suffering from root rot. I have a feeling the soil is not the right type. You want a fast draining soil with no peat in it. I suggest getting succulent soil and mixing in another medium to make it even chunkier. Iβve done orchid bark, perlite, or even pon to make sure that the soil doesnβt hold on to moisture. You may find dark and mushy roots and if you do, promptly cut. Strong roots are usually firm and white. Some variations are darker but still firm. If you do find mushy roots, spray with 3% hydrogen peroxide and then repot in a new soil/potting medium. Best of luck!
