Welcome back to the Forward One Podcast, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and Josh Spitzen of Forward One Real Estate. In this episode, we sit down with John Barrentine and Chuck Marquardt to talk about how refining team size, focusing on culture, and hiring the right people transformed his business into a more profitable and satisfying operation. We dig into why bigger teams aren’t always better, how hospitality backgrounds translate into real estate success, and what leaders should really prioritize when building a team. If you're looking to grow smarter—not just bigger—this conversation will challenge how you think about team building and profitability.
