Ryan Serhant

You know what you're gonna do, you know, for the most part. Today there's just mass optionality and it's scary. You know, it's like going to a restaurant with a 50 page menu. Like I came for steak, but now I don't know. I don't know, what should I do? Should I do this? Oh, you have a Mediterranean menu, what do I do? Oh, should I travel? I don't know.

And so I tried every single sport, you know, I took every class. I was as well-rounded as you could imagine because I just didn't know. And I wasn't great at anything. Like there wasn't one thing I was like great at, even acting. I think I was good. It was good. I mean, you had good hands, you know. I had good hands. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was good, but it wasn't great.

I was good, but it wasn't great.

And I think that I like subconsciously told myself, one day I'm gonna figure out what my thing is. And once I do, Everybody better watch the out because I am going to go so hard. I don't know what it's gonna be. I might be a garbage man. I might be an artist. I might be a poet. I don't know. I don't know. But once I figure it out, I spent my whole life trying to figure out what I want.

But once I figure it out, I spent my whole life trying to figure out what I want.

I didn't have a job. I mean, I didn't have any money. So I was like, I guess this is just hard. And so once it clicked and I just started doing it, it's like I'm, I'm gonna do this every day. It's just volume for me. I'm not gonna take this personally. I tried acting, acting is personal. You get rejected to your face because of your face. So I am going to just go hard all day, every day.

I'm not gonna be the most connected. I'm not gonna be the best looking, but something no one can take away from me is how hard I'm gonna work. I'm gonna wake up earlier and go to bed later. And I don't care what anyone else says. modern day gurus about how the grind is dead, doesn't matter. That's great when you have money. When you're rich, you can talk all day long about work-life balance.

When you're rich, you can talk all day long about work-life balance.

When you are trying to figure out how you're gonna pay rent and pay your groceries, your work-life balance, you have to just grind. And you gotta take it one day at a time and know you're working harder today than you did yesterday. And that hard work, What ends up happening is you work so hard, you make luck easy to find. And so then lucky things start to happen.

And so then lucky things start to happen.

You get that first big deal that pays your rent for a year. And I remember depositing that check for like 24 grand. It's a crazy feeling, right? Yeah, at the Chase Bank in Tribeca. And then I was like, great, what's the next one? And then you do that next big one. I get two years ahead, four years ahead. Yeah, and then you go to the open casting call for Million Dollar List in New York.

Yeah, and then you go to the open casting call for Million Dollar List in New York.

And then that happens. I'm like, all right, I'm gonna keep working even harder because the harder I work, I make luck even easier to find me. And then you just start building and building and building. And it's that, that never letting go thing. Like, you know, I said sell it like Serhant is a TV show we did for Bravo in 2016, 17. The, that was my,

I wanna say 30th, it might've been more, pitch to Bravo. And I think they agreed to it because they were sick of me. I think they were like, guys, if we don't at least give Ryan one thing, he's gonna pitch us on the next real estate doctor, the next apprentice, but for real estate show. And I had all of them. I pitched all of them. They didn't accept any of them, rightly so.
