In this Focus Round, I sat down with Axel Ragnarsson for a rapid-fire mix of fun, mindset, and the kind of lessons you only learn in the trenches.

We covered:

 đꑉ How a lost wallet in Boston turned into a long-term business partnership

 đꑉ The one thing sponsors often get wrong when talking to LPs (hint: data isn’t the starting point)

 đꑉ Why the best buyers never convince a seller—they just stay ready when the seller decides

 đꑉ How patience + focus beat chasing every shiny deal in the room

A little real estate, a lot of leadership mindset, and a reminder that the long game wins—if you stick to your core competency. 🧠💡

So we're gonna dive into the focus round, man. What do you do for fun? Yeah, I try to get outside. I live in New England, it gets a little bit hard to do that, but golf in the summer, skiing in the winter, love to travel. Gotcha, man. What is one opportunity, that was a game changer for you? Lost my wallet coming home from a bar in South Boston and it was found just on the street by a guy who looked me up on social media and said, I found your wallet. And he ended up becoming my biggest business partner, That is awesome, man. What would you say is your number one thing sponsors, mess up when talking to lp? They get too deep into the tactical data too quickly, right? And most LPs, their eyes gloss over and they get confused. That's awesome, man. Story sales, you know? So, look, what did you not understand about a seller psychology until you, maybe full into direct to seller? I would try to, I would try to convince sellers to become sellers. When you as a buyer are never going to convince a seller to become a seller unless you offer some. Insane price, which obviously we're not doing as investors, right? You're never gonna convince them to sell. what's your success built on that you think most people overlooked? Patients combined with focus, against quick sidetrack, I have a very, very narrow focus and I'm very, very patient. that I think has helped me generate more results than the people that jump around. Man, that is awesome, man.
