In this episode, Palak speaks with Nirmal who joined Open Spaces later in life and experienced a meaningful shift in how he approaches scale, systems, and decision-making. Rather than chasing more deals or working harder, his growth came from clarity, structure, and a willingness to think differently. The conversation explores how long-term wealth is built through intention, humility, and process, not urgency or hype.
This episode is especially relevant for professionals who want their real estate portfolio to feel stable, aligned, and confidence-building.
