EnesYilmazer, a former world-champion windsurfer turned luxury real estate filmmaker, joins this episode to unpack the reality behind touring and filming the world’s most iconic homes—including Michael Jordan’s. It’s easy to assume this kind of content is all access and glamor, but Enes pulls back the curtain on the months-long negotiations, intense pressure, and emotional weight of doing justice to someone else’s legacy. He opens up about the real demands of his work, from 1,000-hour edits to filming with owners and billionaires just out of frame. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes, this episode delivers.
