What do running ultramarathons and scaling a $283 million real estate portfolio have in common? Everything — if you're Jason Yarusi. This week, host Rick Segal joins the show as we sit down with the founder of Yarusi Holdings, a man who has built and exited a construction company, restaurants, a brewery, and now over 2,500 apartment units since 2017. Jason doesn't just talk about discipline and resilience — he lives it daily. We dig into his journey from hands-on builder to private fund manager, what it really takes to scale multifamily at this level, and why the mindset that gets you through mile 50 of an ultramarathon is the same one that closes deals.WLPWR Podcast Website: willpowerpodcast.orgGet your copy of Rick Segal's book, The Heart of It here: https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/business-and-finance/entrepreneurship/the-heart-of-it/Read Rick Segal's blog: https://impactinvestorsegal.com/blog

Welcome back to the show. Today's guest is someone who has spent decades making an unforgettable mark on both the big screen and daytime television. You know him as the intimidating Mike Barnes — the villain who squared off against Daniel LaRusso in Karate Kid Part III — a role he beat out over 2,000 other hopefuls to land.

On top of all that, he's an Emmy Award-winning producer, a published author, a stand-up comedian, and a martial artist. Sean Kanan is truly one of a kind, and I am so glad to have him here today.
