Success Behind The Numbers
The Power of Networks, Recovery & Reinvention in Real Estate #29
In Episode 29 of The Success Behind The Numbers, I sit down with Jonathan Normolle—a man who’s lived a lifetime before 30 and proved that it’s not where you start, it’s how far you’re willing to grow. 🇩🇰🇺🇸
Jonathan’s story is anything but linear. From Denmark to New York, from the glitz of the fashion world to the grit of the NYC club scene, he built a name, lost himself in the chaos, and then made the bold choice to rebuild—this time with intention.
We talk about addiction, reinvention, and what it really takes to transform your network into a business that moves $100M in real estate. If you’ve ever felt off track, lost, or unsure if your story can fuel your success—this episode is your wake-up call. Jonathan’s proof that the comeback always hits harder than the setback.
