Juan Munoz spent years building the kind of career most people would never walk away from. A first generation college graduate raised by a house cleaner and a pipe fitter, Juan became an electrical engineer, worked on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner program, and eventually joined NASA's International Space Station program before moving into aerospace leadership roles, including work on Sierra Space's Dream Chaser mini space shuttle. But even with the credentials, stability, and career success, something was missing. In this episode, we talk about the moment Juan realized he wasn't wired for a life built around security and routine, and what it actually took to leave a NASA career behind and go all in on real estate. Today Juan leads The Apollo Group at eXp Realty, the number one eXp team in Colorado and number five in the nation, with 135 five star reviews and zero ratings below five stars. We get into his engineer's approach to building a real estate business, why he believes real estate decisions are never just financial, and what it really takes to bet on yourself after years of following the safe path. If you've ever felt the pull to walk away from something stable to build something more personal, this conversation is for you.
