What do fine dining and high-stakes real estate have in common? Everything, according to Paul Zweben. In this firecracker episode, Shawn Kunkler, founder of the Homeward Associates Group in San Francisco, sits down with the NYC-based powerhouse who swapped his chef’s knife for closing deals—and never looked back.

Paul shares his incredible journey from the fast-paced kitchens of New York to dominating one of the most competitive real estate markets in the world. From managing chaos on the line to mastering client expectations, Paul reveals how the pressure, precision, and passion of the culinary world gave him an edge in real estate.
