In this episode, Michael explains what propelled him to launch his own brokerage, why the company's mandate of "work hard, stay humble" goes deeper than mere rhetoric, why he believes it's important to listen to more than one perspective before making decisions, and how he approaches challenges—whether those are rejected proposals or interpersonal conflict.
