Episode Details

VP of Sales at IceCap Group, real estate investor, and football coach CJ Norman knows exactly what it takes to survive in an industry where you eat what you kill. After transitioning from a college athlete with no roadmap to a general manager leading 30 people right out of school, CJ built a massive career spanning over 200 real estate transactions. But scaling his success came at a brutal cost, forcing him to navigate devastating personal breakups and a deeply dark year in 2025 right as his career demanded his absolute best. We dive deep into how he compartmentalized the heartbreak, why he believes in "eating the frog" to tackle the hardest tasks first, and how figuring out his why kept him from quitting. This is a raw masterclass in failing forward and keeping the train on the tracks when the wheels are shaking

Real people. Real stories. Real f**king life.
