Episode 64: Gino Barbaro's Successful Shift from Chef and Restaurateur to Real Estate Investor

The Private Chef Podcast - Serving the 1%

I engage in a conversation with Gino Barbaro, renowned as "the pizza guy". Gino recounts his path from managing an Italian restaurant to recognizing his desire for enhanced financial stability and freedom. After experiencing the struggles of the restaurant industry during the Great Recession, Gino teamed up with Jake to start investing in multifamily real estate. They now own over 2,000 apartment units and $250,000,000 in assets under management. Gino also teaches others how to acquire real estate. Gino's motivation for the transition came from wanting a better future for himself and his family and seeing the benefits of owning rental properties.
Tune in to hear Gino's insights on the mental shift required to move from the kitchen to the world of investing.

Sound Bites
"It seems as if people who are chefs or anything, they're integrators. They are visionaries, but they're integrators because they need to get the job done."
"Most people that I know are doing this because they wanna create impact and they wanna help other people. It's a success over significance."
"I like to be able to feed people. I like to be creative. I like food."
