The latest episode of Zonda’s Inspirational Leadership with the Best in Home Building podcast features an exclusive interview with Shravan Parsi, CEO of American Ventures.

Born in India, Parsi developed a lifelong interest in business and investing from watching his father, a medical doctor, invest in real estate. Parsi’s first real estate investment happened in 2003. Since then, he’s grown his company into a million-dollar multifamily and commercial real estate investment firm, managing over 15,000 units.

Host Mollie Carmichael, Zonda principal, chatted with Parsi about everything from his background as a pharmaceutical scientist to the birth of his first child and what it was like to publish his first book, "The Science of the Deal: The DNA of Multifamily and Commercial Real Estate Investing."
