Listen to this episode

Host Nick Stromwall sits down with Robert Szewczyk, co-founder and designated broker of Rise 48 Equity. Robert reflects on how his childhood under socialism shaped his values and his hunger for economic freedom, and how coming to the United States showed him a different kind of generosity and partnership.

He traces his path from architecture into multifamily real estate, driven by a vision to build generational wealth while genuinely improving the way tenants live. His leadership centers on resident well-being, hands-on engagement, and community, and it is grounded in faith. Robert makes the case for integrity and transparency, especially when markets get hard, and shares the personal struggles that deepened his commitment to faith-driven leadership and small, consistent acts of kindness.
