Summary
The inspirational story of Compass CEO Robert Reffkin—born black and raised Jewish—and the vital lessons he learned to help him overcome life’s daunting obstacles。
No one expected a fifteen-year-old Black kid with dreadlocks who cared more about his DJ business than his homework to grow up to become the youngest-ever White House fellow， run 50 marathons， and cofound a multibillion-dollar company。 But Robert Reffkin， raised by an Israeli immigrant single mother after his father abandoned him and his maternal grandparents disowned them， has always defied the odds。
As CEO of Compass， America’s largest independent real estate brokerage， Reffkin distills the wisdom he’s gathered from his mother and his 100+ mentors throughout his journey。 Each chapter offers a part of his life story and an actionable lesson， such as: “Love your customers more than your ideas。” “Dream out your future on paper—then tear the paper up。” And “Adapt like water and you’ll be unstoppable。”
The advice in No One Succeeds Alone will inspire you to dream bigger than you ever have before， realize your full potential， and give back by helping make someone else’s dreams come true， too。
