On this episode of Grind Design, we sit down with Boyd Brown — broker, developer, investor, operator — and the quiet force behind some of the biggest Keller Williams offices in Utah.
Boyd talks about getting into real estate “by accident,” how a mentor taught him early that you don’t just sell houses, you own assets, and why collecting rent checks in your 20s changes how you see money forever.
He opens up about almost losing everything in 2008–2009, owing the IRS six figures, laying people off too late, and still showing up every single day for his agents. He explains why that season became the turning point that proved to him he could survive anything.
We also get into culture, leadership, and why consistency over decades matters more than being “the fastest one in the race.”
This one is for anyone who’s building, anyone who’s in a hole, and anyone who’s wondering if the grind is worth it.
