Yanni Raz: Early Life

Yanni’s journey began in Israel, where he grew up as the eldest of three siblings. At the age of 19, he enlisted in the Israeli Army, but a near-fatal car accident altered his path. After awakening from a coma, he spent nearly a year recovering, defying the odds with his determination to walk and speak again.

Driven by a desire for more, Yanni ventured to New York, discovering his passion for music while busking on its streets. Despite visa setbacks, he pursued his dreams in Los Angeles, facing the harsh realities of the music industry while working odd jobs to survive. However, fate intervened when he stumbled into the world of real estate, leading him to success as a lender and investor after the housing market crash of 2008. Today, Yanni focuses on coaching others to achieve their goals while cherishing moments with his wife and two children in Los Angeles.
