183. Ward Richmond: From Touring Musician to Commercial Real Estate Leader

Most commercial real estate brokers don't start their careers playing 200 shows a year in dive bars.

But that's exactly how Ward Richmond's career began.

Before becoming Vice Chairman at Colliers and building a high-performing industrial brokerage team, Ward was a touring musician. When that chapter ended, he stepped into commercial real estate… and eventually built a business very intentionally around people, culture, and personal growth.

We get into:

• How a financial scare and a baby on the way forced Ward to rethink how he was working
• The moment he realized the difference between being a business operator and a true business owner
• Why he invested heavily in coaching and personal development (including Tony Robbins and Grant Cardone)
• The core values he uses to build and manage his team
• And why gratitude, humility, and discipline matter just as much as market expertise
  
  

If you're thinking about leadership, team building, or what it actually looks like to build a career that aligns with your values, you'll enjoy this one.
