Summary

In today's episode, I join Matt Foster on his Defining Success podcast to discuss my journey from Akron, Ohio, to achieving success in residential and commercial real estate. We explore the importance of auditing relationships and understanding the balance between those who feed you and those who drain you. I share personal stories from my childhood, the lessons learned from pole vaulting, and my experience with losing and rebuilding a $100 million net worth. Together, we talk about the significance of time, gratitude, and the power of small, consistent actions in achieving long-term success.
