Welcome back to the Forward One F1REcast, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and Josh Spitzen. In this episode, I sit down with Adam Brawer—a former Hollywood producer who made a bold leap into real estate and built a luxury business from scratch. Adam shares how he turned massive setbacks into momentum, and how mindset, marketing, and authenticity drive his success today. You’ll hear how he wins multimillion-dollar listings, what his 60% open-rate newsletter looks like, and why 50 real conversations a week keep his referral engine thriving. This one is packed with high-level insights and practical takeaways you can put to work right now.
