Episode Summary

This week, I'm excited to share my conversation with my friend and business partner, Justin Mitchell, Founder and CEO of Realworld Asset Group.  A string of auspicious events connected us and opened the door to collaboration. After working on RWA Group for a few quarters, we’re excited to inform the world that we’re open for business.

RWA Group is a real estate investment group led by a seasoned management team with a proven track record of providing creative funding solutions to professional real estate developers (sponsors/operators), delivering superior risk-adjusted returns to investors. Our first product is a high-yield REIT built for accredited investors.

There’s so much more to the story, and what’s so exciting is so much is still unwritten.

This is also an excellent example of the Imagine a Day exercise featured in Episode 50 at work…
