The Multifamily Wealth Podcast #300: Reflecting On 300 Episodes! How Our Business Has Grown, Changes in How I Think About Investing, Business, and More!
In this special milestone episode, Axel Ragnarsson celebrates 300 episodes of The Multifamily Wealth Podcast by reflecting on how his business—and his mindset—has evolved since the show began in 2020.

He shares what he’s learned about raising capital, expanding (and contracting) markets, building a property management business from scratch, and redefining what success really means in multifamily.
