In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we sit down with Zac Palmer, sales and persuasion strategist and co-founder & CEO of Exclusivity Agent Network. Zac shares his unconventional entrepreneurial journey, beginning with taking over a struggling family business at 19, navigating debt, the 2008 financial crisis, and ultimately discovering the transformative power of mentorship and self-education. His path led him to work alongside industry leaders such as Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi, shaping his philosophy around leadership, value creation, and sustainable growth.

Throughout the conversation, Zac breaks down the vision behind Exclusivity Agent Network—a national referral network and mastermind designed for top real estate agents seeking collaboration, integrity, and long-term success. He discusses the importance of quality over scale, building trust-driven referral ecosystems, and leveraging masterminds to harness collective intelligence. The episode also explores leadership through vulnerability, momentum through action, and why slowing down to build the right foundation is essential for creating a network designed to thrive well beyond short-term gains
