In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Mohammad Abbasi.

After spending 30 years expanding his career, and past the age of 60, Mohammad Abbasi earned his masters degree and is currently pursuing his PhD. The last 10 of these 30 years he has trained franchise owners, team leaders, sales associates, and major non-profits nationwide in both personal and professional development. He is a master trainer in the field of development, and after retiring in 2010, he took some of his own advice. He started out as an engineer from NJIT class of 1979. After working in the field for a few years, he turned to real estate for more opportunities, where he founded the Keller Williams Realty – Tri State Region, which currently has 34 offices and 6700 associates in NY, NJ and CT. This positioned him as a sought after public speaker on issues such as non-profit management and organizational leadership. This is what jumpstarted his interest in training, teaching and developing others. He has recently earned a masters degree in public administration from Rutgers University to bolster this interest. Currently, he is an adjunct professor of Urban Public Management at CUNY’s Murphy Institute while pursuing a PhD in non-profit management from Rutgers University.
