In this episode, we sit down with Angelo Fierro to talk about what it really takes to build a sustainable real estate career. Licensed for over two decades but “committed” for the last 16 years, Angelo shares how coaching, structure, and a decision to go all-in changed the trajectory of his business. We unpack why real estate is a terrible part-time job, how long-term persistence landed him a $10M+ listing after nine years of follow-up, and what it means to let go of outcomes while staying fully committed to the process. *Angelo Fierro* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/losangeloliving/ Website: https://angelofierrogroup.com *More from Paul & Josh* Paul: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ Josh: https://www.instagram.com/spitzenjosh/ Forward One Media: https://www.instagram.com/forwardonemedia/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@forwardonepodcast *Presented by Forward One Real Estate* https://www.forwardone.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forwardonerealestate/ Timestamps 00:00:00 Welcome to the Fire Cast + Meet Angela Fierro 00:00:29 From New York to LA: Early Real Estate Roots & Finding Direction 00:02:13 Acting Dreams, 9/11, and Falling in Love with Los Angeles 00:05:19 Learning LA the Hard Way: Thomas Guide, Neighborhoods & Market Nuance 00:10:24 Teams, Mentors, and the Wake-Up Call: Family, Injury & Getting Serious 00:15:28 Coaching with Tom Ferry: Structure, Accountability, and a 3-Year Plan 00:19:45 Surviving the 2008 Crash: Short Sales, Foreclosures & Staying in the Game 00:32:07 Building a Niche + Modern Prospecting: Schools, SmartZip, CRM & Daily Calls 00:37:49 Mulholland Rides & Weekend Triathlon Communi… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/forward-one-podcast-7242978/episodes/real-estate-is-a-terrible-part-time-job/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/forward-one-podcast-7242978/real-estate-is-a-terrible-part-time-job.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
