In this powerful episode of Driven: Unscripted Success, Mike Mannino Sr. and Nareman Hamdan sit down with August Biniaz, co-founder of CPI Capital, to explore the journey from humble beginnings to real estate thought leadership. August shares how his early exposure to real estate through family history and his own grit fueled a career that spans custom home building, large-scale development, and multifamily investments across the U.S.

August opens up about the realities of Canadian vs. U.S. markets, how rent control and investor psychology differ by country, and what drove him to dive deep into private equity and syndications. He emphasizes the importance of self-education, partnerships, and staying agile in a competitive, institutional world.
