EP#343 - The Other Side of Success with Martin Sawa

Who is Martin Sawa?Martin is a first-generation Ukrainian American, former San Francisco real estate power broker, and author.  He shares his remarkable rise to self-made wealth from the humblest beginnings, how a devastating loss forced him to reevaluate the meaning of success, and how the impact of love, family, religion, and race shaped the metaphorical zoetrope of Martin’s own American Dream.A son of poverty-stricken Ukrainian immigrants who as a teenager sold hairbrushes door to door, Martin later quit a stable 9-to-5 job to try his hand at the high stakes world of San Francisco commercial real estate in the early ‘80s. As the demands of the job required more and more of him, Martin found himself in the grip of alcoholism. It would take a tragedy to pull him out of it.Martin’s new book THE OTHER SIDE OF SUCCESS: Money and Meaning in the Golden State is an account of the new American experience, told from the perspective of a first-generation immigrant who made the American Dream a reality. The book tells stories of the glamorous and cutthroat world of commercial real estate in the second most expensive market in the country, and your listeners will be inspired by Martin’s tenacity and drive as well as his resilience in the face of personal trauma and tragedy.The Other Side of Success is a tale of the highest highs and lowest lows, an immigrant story about an incredibly driven man who started with nothing, and one who pulled himself out of addiction and personal tragedy to arrive at a state of peace. How to Connect with Martin?Website: https://www.martinsawa.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martinlsawa/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/martinsawa2020 ----------------------------------------------- Connect with Dr. Vic...Website: www.EmpowerYourReality.comFacebook: www.Facebook.com/drvicmanzoInstagram: www.Instagram.com/drvicmanzoLinkedIn: www.LinkedIn.com/in/drmanzo Check out my books: https://amzn.to/3gzr9XT About Dr. Vic...I'm Dr. Vic Manzo Jr., a Business Mindset Coach, Self-Mastery Expert, Influential Author, Inspirational Speaker, and the host and creator of The Mindful Experiment Podcast and The Mindful Chiropractor Podcast. I teach entrepreneurs and Chiropractors how to DOUBLE their profits while working less and leading a SOUL-FILLED Life... If you want to create this in your life for 2022, CLICK HERE or visit: TinyUrl.com/LevelUpWithDrVic Hosted on Acast.
