What if not having a clear definition of failure was the key to achieving unstoppable success?
Real estate entrepreneur and social media powerhouse Josh Messiah sits down with host Jonathan Mitchell to unpack the gritty, unfiltered journey of building a business from the ground up. From flipping homes with million-dollar payoffs to going viral with no-script videos, Josh reveals how staying authentic, showing your flaws, and relentlessly posting online has fueled both his growth and community impact.
The duo explores Josh's Egyptian immigrant roots, the deeper meaning of success beyond dollars, and the trap of trying to be “too professional.” Whether you're just starting in real estate or stuck in the fear of posting your first piece of content, this episode is packed with mindset gems, marketing hacks, and real talk you won't want to miss.
