Ari Rastegar is a real estate developer and investor behind some of the most ambitious projects reshaping major U.S. cities. In this episode, we break down how starting with just $3,000 turned into a multi-billion-dollar real estate portfolio, why failure became his greatest advantage, and why most people misunderstand what it actually takes to build long term wealth. Ari explains why zoning, timing, and anticipation matter more than chasing “safe” deals, and why a billion-dollar valuation doesn't mean cash in the bank. He also shares the story of writing himself a $1 billion check at 23 and carrying it for 15 years as a reminder of what he was building toward. Because real wealth isn't reacting to the present. It's having the patience to build the future before everyone else sees it.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Straight out of high school and already flipping houses. No degree, no plan - just figuring it out one deal at a time. What started as one flip turned into eighty. Dominique Gunderson built her real estate business completely remotely, managing teams in another state, working with contractors she'd never met in person, and raising money through real relationships instead of pitches. In this episode, Heather and Dominique Gunderson get real about what it takes to build something before you feel “ready.” They talk about the chaos of flipping, the difference between working in your business and on it, and how chasing more isn't always the move. If you've ever dreamed about building freedom your own way, this one's for you.
On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty is joined by Gary Brown, the Co-Founder and President of Furnished Quarters, one of the largest corporate housing companies in the U.S. Gary shares how his career path took a major turn—from working as an attorney and CPA to discovering the potential of real estate investing alongside his brother in Manhattan. Gary shares how what started as flipping homes soon evolved into a thriving furnished apartment business with a global reach. Gary opens up about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, from leveraging credit cards to fund early deals to navigating major challenges like 9/11, the 2008 recession, and COVID-19. His story highlights the creativity and determination it takes to build a business that lasts through changing markets. Gary also emphasizes the power of customer service in a digital world, explaining how real connections and quick responses set Furnished Quarters apart. Whether you're considering real estate investing or looking for insight into running a successful business, Gary's journey is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and long-term vision. More about Gary Brown: As President, Gary manages the sales and financial efforts to ensure the company achieves sustained growth. Before, co-founding Furnished Quarters, Gary worked as a certified public accountant and attorney in New York and Connecticut. With a sharp sense of where the real estate industry was heading - and inspired by the Brown family's long-standing family business in furniture sales - Gary, alongside brother Steve Brown, identified an untapped need for high-quality furnished accommodations in New York City. In 1998, the brothers founded Furnished Quarters to serve that need. Starting with a handful of furnished apartments in a New York City brownstone, the venture saw immediate success, with high demand leading to continued growth for over 25 years. Gary has spent most of his career developing and investing in Manhattan real estate and continually identifies key trends and opportunities within the alternative accommodations space.

Concentration beats diversification. One stock. That's all Jaden Sterling bought during the 1990s. It tripled, became capital for 125 real estate deals, and eventually funded Sterling Stock Picker, a stock-picking platform now serving 3,000 investors. What most financial advisors don't tell you: diversification is what you do when you don't know what you're doing. When Jaden's clients at Merrill Lynch held 4-6 solid companies, they were pressured to sell and diversify into mutual funds. The math later showed holding those original positions would've beaten all the churn. The path to real wealth isn't about spreading money thin. It's about focused conviction in what you actually understand. I sat down with Jaden to talk about deal structures across real estate, concentrated stock investing, raising capital from customers instead of VCs, and why your relationship with money mirrors your relationship with yourself.
