Martin Sawa is a first generation Ukrainian American, former San Francisco real estate power broker, and author of "The Other Side of Success, Money and Meaning in the Golden State," a book about his remarkable rise to self-made wealth from the humblest of 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.
In this episode we discuss:
* The American Dream and how it has evolved over the past few decades and if it even still exists as it did when his parents emigrated from Ukraine
* Martin's definition of success and how it changed over time
* How love and loss helped him discover his spirituality again
* Putting skin in the game in business and life
* Discovering his family roots in Ukraine (his parents lived under Stalin and Hitler), what he learned and how it applies to the world in 2021
* His appraisal of his wins and losses in a volatile time of technological, social, and political change
...and much more
