Welcome back to the Forward One F1REcast, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and Josh Spitzen. In this episode of Radical Wealth Plan, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media, I sit down with Michael Koshet—a powerhouse in commercial multifamily real estate with over a billion dollars in transactions under his belt. What makes this conversation essential for anyone serious about building wealth is Michael’s no-nonsense approach to scaling a real estate business, cultivating grit, and narrowing your focus to unlock massive returns.
