Ryan Serhant, CEO and Founder of SERHANT., star of Netflix's "Owning Manhattan" and Bravo's Emmy-nominated "Million Dollar Listing New York," reveals the strategic frameworks that transformed him from a broke actor to a billion-dollar real estate mogul. With nearly $10B in career sales, 8 million social media followers, and one of the fastest-growing brokerages in America (1,300+ agents across 8 states), Ryan breaks down the identity-to-brand pipeline that separates empire builders from everyone else. From launching his company during COVID to becoming the most-followed real estate brand in the world through SERHANT. Studios, he shares the contrarian moves that create compound advantages and why authenticity beats perfection every time. This conversation cuts through the noise with actionable insights on building systematic approaches to uncertainty, the "Future Self" operating system, and why human connection will become premium currency as AI commoditizes everything else.
