What does it really take to succeed in real estate when the market turns against you?
In this episode of Change Agents, Bennett Richardson sits down with Ryan Serhant to break down the mindset, discipline, and strategy behind long-term success in real estate.
Ryan shares how he got his start in 2008—the same day Lehman Brothers collapsed—and why those early struggles shaped everything that followed. From making less than $10,000 his first year to building a global brand, he explains why agents must go “all in,” pick a clear direction, and commit for the long game.
