Boom, shake the room, Fire Nation, JLD here, and welcome to Entrepreneurs on Fire, brought to you by High Level, the all-in-one sales and marketing platform. Today we'll be breaking down, building through cycles from surviving 2008 to rethinking real estate investing. And to drop these value bombs, I brought Darren Fisk. In the EOFIR studios. Darren is the founder and CEO of Forum Investment Group, a multifamily investment platform he launched in 2007, and he has led over $2.4 billion in investments across 21 states and also serves on the advisory board of Ace Scholarships.

And today we'll be chatting about the launching before the crash, evolving the business, multifamily, 1031 pressure, forum exchange, and oh so much more. And a big thank you for sponsoring today's episode goes to Darren and our sponsors. If you're an entrepreneur, you probably know the feeling. Nonstop meetings, constant conversations, and too much information to keep track of. That's why I've been using Plod, an AI-powered wearable that helps capture meetings, discussions, and key details throughout the day so nothing important slips through the cracks.
