Run from the Norm | Episode 23: Frank McKinney is an Author, Real Estate Artist, Ultra Runner, Philanthro-Capitalist, Renaissance Man, and Tire-Dragging Maniac

In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Frank McKinney—a full-send, purpose-fueled force of nature who’s built $50 million oceanfront mansions, finished 7 Badwater 135s (going for #8 this summer), written 9 books across 8 genres, and constructed 32 self-sustaining villages in Haiti through his Caring House Project. Frank calls himself a real estate artist. I call him a Renaissance Man on a mission for good. We dig into: The importance of personal branding and why you need to be unapologetically and authentically you Why mono-maniacal focus is a superpower What it takes to run 135 miles in Death Valley And why dragging a tire through Florida might be a spiritual experience 🔥 Bonus: This episode is sponsored by us, Run from the Norm!
