In this episode, we sit down with Philip Giudici, a Des Moines native who took the road less traveled—from knocking doors in Arizona to flipping distressed homes back in Iowa. Philip opens up about the hard-earned lessons from his early sales grind, why adaptability is every investor’s secret weapon, and how reading people is just as important as reading the market. If you’re looking to sharpen your sales edge, spot hidden real estate opportunities, or just hear how persistence pays off, this one’s for you.

• How door-to-door sales taught him resilience and quick thinking

• Why reading people, not scripts, helps close deals

• Why distressed properties aren’t problems, they’re potential

• How he uses property data to uncover off-market deals

• Why mentors are the secret key to growth
  
  

Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, Philip Giudici graduated from Dowling Catholic High School in 2016 before heading to Arizona State University. He spent eight years sharpening his sales skills in Arizona—starting in door-to-door work—before diving into real estate wholesaling, flipping, and investing full-time. Now back in Iowa, Philip is focused on scaling his real estate ventures, helping sellers navigate distressed situations, and building a reputation for hustle, heart, and integrity in the Midwest market.
