Ivan Estrada is a successful Real Estate Broker in Beverly Hills who just released a book, Brand With Purpose, based on his experience building his brand and the obstacles along the way. 

Despite his successful career, various accolades, and graduating from USC, Ivan struggled with self-reflection and his own identity, something many Latinos suffer from today. Ivan struggled with homophobia embedded in Latino culture and was told to pass as Italian in order to be successful. He felt like he couldn’t be himself at home or at work. But all the negative influences and stereotypes aside, Ivan found success in being himself and building a brand that’s genuine, real, and with purpose.

Born into a working-class Latino family to being featured in Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing and being named “Top 30 Under 30″ in real estate nationwide with the National Association of Realtors, Ivan shares his journey of self-reflection and success. Most importantly, he shows us that staying true to who we are is always the answer.
