Steve Trang runs a seven-figure coaching business helping real estate businesses improve their sales approach. But after graduating with a master's degree in mechanical engineering from UC San Diego, that path was anything but certain. Steve's first role out of college was at Intel, designing the USB interface and hard drive in cell phones. But he left that safe career to pursue real estate at the worst possible time in 2007. After several hard years, Steve's resilience paid off and he grew from an individual realtor to building a real estate office that led to his training business today.

We talk to Steve about his fascinating career and the mental fortitude required for entrepreneurship. We touch on finding his first deals as a realtor during the financial crisis, the pressure on his marriage of starting a business with no money, following the money, and starting a business that leverages his best talents. This episode has a little bit of everything from an incredible person with lofty goals.
