Ari Rastegar is the founder and CEO of Rastegar Property Company, a $10 billion real estate empire that’s reshaping skylines across the U.S. But his journey didn’t start in boardrooms—it started behind the grill at Johnny Rockets, flipping burgers and dreaming bigger. From those humble beginnings, Ari built his way into the world of high-stakes real estate, earning the nickname “The Oracle of Austin” for his early bets on the city’s meteoric growth. Known for his bold, contrarian strategies and unshakable belief in learning from failure, he’s turned setbacks into stepping stones and vision into value. Ari has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Bloomberg, and is recognized as one of the most innovative minds in real estate today. His mission? To show that with grit, resilience, and a willingness to fail forward, you can turn even the smallest start into a billion-dollar legacy.Check Out My Social Media:Tiktok  ⟶ https://www.tiktok.com/@officialtommymelloInstagram ⟶ https://www.instagram.com/officialtommymello/Facebook ⟶https://www.facebook.com/thomasmello/My other podcast:Home Service Expert ⟶ https://open.spotify.com/show/4WHQ3ldGThHsP1cfzNF33GLive Q&A submission form:https://homeserviceexpert.com/questions00:00 The Journey of Failure and Success01:24 Building a Billion-Dollar Portfolio03:07 The Importance of Relationships in Real Estate10:07 The Role of Money and Time16:18 Predicting Market Trends and the Future of Real Estate18:57 Embracing Technology and AI23:25 The Gift of Failure and Closing ThoughtsTMM Director / Series Creator - Elaina SlaytonExecutive Producer - Jim Leslie Producer - Bianca Zhou Editor - Paul McAleavey Camera - Cullen Fleming
