Resilience – and relaunching in real estate with Ivan Sarakula

“A lot of us spend time comparing ourselves. You know, I want to be bigger and better and I want to be like that agent, or I want to drive that car…None of it matters…, if you're honest and you're passionate about what you do”

The day to day life of an agent is often walking a fine line of risk versus reward. As Ivan Sarakula signed up to appear on one of the biggest reality shows in the country, Married at First Sight, it was about finding love – but he found both his personal and professional life under the microscope.

In this podcast, we talk exclusively to Ivan, taking a look at how launching yourself into the public eye has it’s pro’s and con’s and why resilience really is the number one skill you need to cultivate.
