About this episode

Yunis Abdalla shares his inspiring journey from a troubled youth in St. Louis to a successful real estate agent and family man.

In today's episode we are so excited to bring you one of the most triumphant stories to come out of St. Louis with our new friend Yunis Abdalla! Spending time in his childhood in both south and north St. Louis, Yunis was no stranger to running with tough crowds and having to learn equally as tough lessons. This led to him being intentionally attacked by someone he thought was a friend and also hit by a stray bullet due to gang violence even after he left the street life. As a young father, he had to make a decision - either continue to work dead end jobs or follow a path to something more stable. Eventually this led him to our wonderful world of real estate where Yunis has established himself not only as a great agent for buying and selling, but keeping in line with his native culture - he's taken his wins and turned them into homes for his family members. An amazing story and great example for anyone looking for direction to turn their life around. Please like, comment, and subscribe for more!
