Summary

Frank McKinney joins us to weave the tale of his transformation from a trouble-seeking youth to a philanthropic real estate artist. Discover how his adversity-fueled creativity birthed 44 oceanfront mansions and self-sustaining villages in Haiti, detailed in his books, including the latest, "Adversitology".

Key Questions:

1. Frank, how did the trials of your youth propel you to become a visionary in luxury real estate?

2. What drew you to the concept of Real Estate Artistry, and how did you pioneer this niche?

3. How do you excel across such diverse creative fields while maintaining high effectiveness?

4. Facing a potentially terminal illness, what strategies did you employ to confront and overcome this challenge?

5. "Adversitology" suggests strategies to surmount hardships. Could you share a guiding principle for entrepreneurs?

6. An ultramarathoner's endurance mirrors business resilience. How has extreme running influenced your business philosophy?

7. Define 'philanthro-capitalism' and the impetus behind this approach.

8. How do you balance success across career, philanthropy, and family life?

9. Can you give us a hint of what we can expect from your exciting new project on 4.24.24?

10. Share a moment where taking a risk substantially paid off for you.

11. Driving a 1988 Yugo is unexpected for a luxury real estate developer. What does this choice say about your broader philosophy?

Quotable Moments:

"In adversity lies opportunity. Embrace the challenge, for within it lies the seed of greatness."

"Regret the deeds done, not those left undone. Action breeds triumph."
