A fireside discussion with Robert Reffkin, Author of "No One Succeeds Alone: Learn Everything You Can from Everyone You Can"
About this event
We are pleased to welcome Robert Reffkin, Founder & CEO of Compass for a fireside chat with Calvin Cooper, Co-Founder & CEO of Rhove to discuss the takeaways from Robert's book- "NO ONE SUCCEEDS ALONE: Learn Everything You Can from Everyone You Can"

Robert Reffkin is the only Black founder of a public real estate technology company & the only Black founder/CEO of a unicorn company that has raised more than a billion dollars. As sad as that statistic is in 2021, it's an incredible achievement on his part, particularly since his backstory is so rife with adversity-he was disowned by his Israeli grandparents for being Black & raised by a single mother, there were times when they were struggling, & times when they were solidly middle class after his father abandoned them.

He relied on many well-known & influential mentors to help achieve such astronomical success, including the likes of Kenneth Chenault (CEO of American Express), Vernon Jordan (Lazard), Marc Benioff (founder & CEO of Salesforce), Lloyd Blankfein (Goldman Sachs), & Bayo Ogunlesi (founder & CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners). He's eager to share the wealth of advice he's garnered over the years.

Robert will share both his inspiring story & the entrepreneurship principles that lay the foundation for the way he conducts himself in life & in business every day.

Possibility. Turning dreams into reality; optimism & the abundance mindset; finding things & people that give you energy; passion/effort/trying harder than others.
Power of relationships. Every interaction is an opportunity; investing in relationships; providing value to mentors; putting yourself in other people's shoes in every situation.
Curiosity & humility. Being customer-obsessed; learning from ideas that came before; learning from customer's reactions; caring more about impact/results for the customer than novelty.
Belonging. Feeling out of place as a child; searching for acceptance & fulfillment. Gratitude. For his mom; for his mentors; for all the people that helped him throughout his life; for his luck; for his family.
