Rob Chevez went from making six figures in recruiting to watching the 2008 market crash unfold and he was ready for it.

In this episode, Rob breaks down how he survived (and thrived) through multiple market cycles, why he deliberately downgraded his lifestyle to keep buying, and the brutal truth about what happens to people who don't pivot fast enough.

He also reveals the playbook behind Grid Capital Partners—a vertically integrated holding company built on one core belief: agents who think like investors win.

If you're an agent stuck on the transaction treadmill or an investor waiting for "the right time," this conversation will change how you see opportunity.
