Episode 48: What happens when you trade security for possibility?



What does it take to trade a dream tech career for a life of financial freedom and purpose?

On this episode of the Forge In Fire Podcast, we sit down with Georgy Marrero, founder of Equis Capital, whose journey spans from coding as a kid in the Dominican Republic to managing a $28M multifamily real estate portfolio.

After teaching himself to code at age 9, Georgy left his home country at 18 with just $1,000 and a dream. He graduated from UC Berkeley with a computer science degree and landed roles at Amazon and Meta, eventually earning $800k a year. But despite his success in tech, Georgy felt a deeper calling.

A single “accidental investment” — buying a home for his grandmother that later returned 20% in just seven months — sparked his passion for real estate. What began as a side project grew into Equis Capital, where Georgy has since raised $9M from investors and scaled to $28M AUM through multifamily acquisitions and syndications.

In this episode, Georgy shares:

  • The mindset shift it took to walk away from stability and pursue entrepreneurship.
  • How he built Equis Capital through partnerships, discipline, and systems.
  • Lessons learned in leadership, investor trust, and scaling without burnout.
  • Why financial freedom is about more than money — it’s about impact and purpose.

Georgy Marrero’s story is a powerful reminder that forging your path often means stepping into discomfort, betting on yourself, and building something bigger than a paycheck.
