In Episode 6 of the Plotting Success Podcast, things got personal.

After a last-minute cancellation (and a comment asking, “Who even is the host?”), Vlad Plotnikov sits down solo to transparently share his full journey — from growing up a first-gen immigrant in Las Vegas, to walking away from his D1 football dream, to building a 100+ deal-per-year real estate company by age 26.

This episode covers:

• Vlad’s upbringing as the son of Russian acrobats
• His straight-A student mindset & walk-on college football days
• Why quitting football was the hardest but most pivotal moment of his life
• How a podcast episode with Ryan Pineda changed everything
• His first deal, early struggles, and nearly going broke
• How he built Plot Property Group from scratch
• What doing 250+ real estate deal has really looked like — the good, bad, and painful
• 7 powerful lessons from 5 years of business
• Why playing the long game, leading with integrity, and staying grounded matter most
• And what’s coming next — in business, in content, and in life

This is the rawest episode yet. No fluff. No fancy edits. Just the real story.
 If you’ve ever wondered who Vlad is or how to build something real from nothing, this one’s for you.
