In this episode of the Yes And Podcast, host Bunny Young interviews commercial real‑estate entrepreneur Joe. The conversation weaves through Joe’s core belief that a CEO’s primary job is to recruit and support a high‑performing team, the importance of a supportive company culture, and practical networking tips for LinkedIn. Joe recounts a memorable 410‑acre Malibu property deal involving John Paul DeJoria, illustrating creative deal structuring, tax‑write‑off strategies, and the challenges of unusable land. The duo debates rent‑versus‑own decisions, emphasizing local market analysis, cash‑flow considerations, and the need for a solid business plan before investing. Joe then outlines his “18‑month to $5 million” playbook, describing how he and a partner built a commercial‑real‑estate auction business from $1,200 in the bank to multi‑million‑dollar volume through relentless cold‑calling, mentorship, and a disciplined sales process. He shares tactics for rapid growth—market selection, hyper‑local networking, content creation, and leveraging AI. The conversation shifts to personal sustainability, with Joe denying burnout, acknowledging occasional depression, and stressing the joy of entrepreneurship. Finally, both guests define wealth and legacy: wealth as freedom to do what you love, and legacy as building lasting impact through mentorship, a nonprofit, and a culture that values gratitude and team camaraderie.
