323. Daniel Tzinker: How to create multi-million dollar transactions, embrace your past, and own who you are

Today I’m talking with Daniel Tzinker, also known as the Penthouse King of South Florida and the top agent in Sunny Isles.

Partner owner of The Agency in South Florida, Danny shares his spirituality and his journey—his childhood in Siberia, immigrating to Israel at 12, working there, and serving seven years in the Israeli military—before moving to the United States.

He reveals how he broke into South Florida’s luxury market, including what he calls his ‘lucky story’—his first $20 million deal.

He shares lessons from both success and failure, and his first million-dollar commission, as he and I talk about how to create multi-million dollar transactions, embrace your past, and own who you are.
