Want to Build at $5 Billion Business? Start with Culture
What do climbing Mount Everest and scaling a business have in common? A lot more than you think.
In this episode of This Jess’d In, we sit down with Bo Parfet—Head of Growth at DLP Capital, a real estate investment firm that skyrocketed from $600 million to over $5 billion in assets under management since Bo's arrival. Bo shares what it takes to build an elite organization, lead with purpose, and create a culture where people are empowered to chase both professional and personal dreams.
Oh—and he’s no stranger to big goals himself. Bo has summited Mount Everest twice, climbing it from both sides, completed the Seven Summits and summited K2, the world’s most dangerous peak. But for him, it’s not just about the climb—it’s about impact.
We dive into:
✅ How DLP Capital grew exponentially while staying mission-driven
✅ Creating a company culture that supports life goals, not just KPIs
✅ The attainable housing crisis and how DLP is addressing it
✅ Why doing things that scare you is key to growth
✅ Bo’s unforgettable return to Everest
If you’re a business owner, agent, or just someone with big dreams, this episode is full of the insight and inspiration you need to level up.
