In this week's episode of our podcast, Rens sits down with Peter Bartash, the founder of Port One Companies, a dynamic multidisciplinary firm. Peter shares how he discovered his passion for problem-solving through his background in architecture and how it has helped him in his current role. Rens and Peter discuss how taking on big challenges can lead to greater opportunities and the importance of being adaptable in a constantly evolving industry.

Peter's expertise in the architecture industry is impressive, especially given the challenging times he faced when he graduated in 2008. He recognized a gap in the market between ultra-high net worth individuals and the rest of the global economy, and he's been able to develop successful strategies to better serve his clients.

The conversation then shifts to the success of Peter's high-end real estate business. Rens notes that even in a down economy, the ultra-wealthy always have money to spend. Peter explains how their focus on architecture and design has contributed to their success, and shares some of the recent accomplishments of their entry-level design personnel, who identified an investment opportunity that even the senior leadership team had not noticed.

Peter also highlights their impressive asset management system, which has grown to $100 million in just five years. He takes pride in the successful ecosystem they have created, where team members can benefit from each other's insights to achieve even greater success. The services offered by Port One, including architecture and interior design, commercial real estate development, wealth management, alternative investment management, property management, fractional CFO, and outsourced management consulting, are equally impressive.

This episode is full of valuable insights and inspiration for anyone looking to succeed in a challenging industry. Don't miss out on this incredible conversation with Peter Bartash!
