The Connor Group

Larry Connor, the entrepreneur founder of The Connor Group, is also a forward-thinking philanthropist and accomplished adventurist. Larry and I sat down to talk about how he built a one-of-a-kind real estate investment firm with a people-first culture that has produced a 30%+ annual return to investors since inception. We also discussed Kids & Community Partners, The Connor Group’s non-profit arm, which will devote over $800 million over the next decade to non-profit initiatives focused on pulling kids out of generational poverty. And, we talked about adventure! Larry piloted the Ax-1 mission to the International Space Station, and in the same year, took a research mission 36,000 feet under the ocean in the Mariana Trench. This made Larry the first human to reach the deepest part of the ocean and space within a year. Buckle up! Part 1 of this 2-part episode is live today: https://lnkd.in/eW34cxJx
