    From Chicago Streets to Global Infrastructure: Darius Ross on Radical Accountability & Leadership | E1305

    Send us a text

    In this episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, Darius Ross breaks down the "Radical Accountability" mindset that took him from a strict Chicago household to the international stage. If you are struggling with adversity or looking to scale your leadership, this is your roadmap.

    The King’s Mindset: Darius Ross on Radical Accountability and Global Leadership

    What happens when an 18-year-old is suddenly forced to "become the King" of his household?. In this power-packed episode, Darius Ross, Managing Partner of D. Ross & Company, joins David Pasqualone to share a journey defined by tenacity, the samurai code, and a level of accountability that most people only dream of.

    From Chicago Adversity to Global Infrastructure

    Darius doesn't just talk about success; he lived the struggle. Growing up in a strict Chicago military household, he learned early that there are no "second chances" when you mess up—you own it and you clean it up. We explore his incredible 7-year journey of "stalling" a bankruptcy to save his family home and how those "street lessons" translated into billion-dollar infrastructure deals in Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

    The Bushido Code and Scaling Your Influence

    Darius reveals his secret weapon for self-motivation: the Code of Bushido. He breaks down how the principles of the Japanese samurai apply to modern real estate and capital consulting.

    • The Choice Matrix: Why sinking or swimming is a daily decision.
    • Street Smarts vs. Corporate Wisdom: How to negotiate with creditors and federal judges before you're even legal.
    • Global Vision: Why the "Third World" is the next frontier for infrastructure and multi-family investment.

    Key Takeaways:
    āœ… How to "become the King" when life takes everything away.
    āœ… The 7-year legal battle that taught Darius more than any MBA.
    āœ… Applying the Samurai "Bushido Code" to modern business.
    āœ… Investing in the future: Infrastructure in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

    What does it take to rise from childhood hardship to building multimillion-dollar companies rooted in service, integrity, and relentless discipline? In this powerful episode, David Steele shares the real, unpolished story behind his journey — and the mindset frameworks that changed everything.

    Raised in poverty, emotionally isolated, and shaped by early trauma, David developed a tenacity that carried him through rejection, failure, and uncertainty. From 500 cold calls a day as a young stockbroker… to walking away from a lucrative career because it didn’t align with his values… to building One Wealth Advisors ($1.3B AUM) and the acclaimed Flour + Water restaurant group — his life is proof that success is a byproduct of serving others.

    šŸ”„ In this episode, you’ll learn:
    • Why the happiest people are those who serve others
    • How David used discipline + math to build his first client base
    • The truth about risk-adjusted decisions in business and life
    • Why entrepreneurs should stop borrowing money and start selling equity
    • How he scaled Flour + Water into a nationally recognized brand
    • The hidden traps that destroy entrepreneurs (and how to avoid them)
    • The one habit that eliminates financial anxiety
    • How David is using his success to empower immigrant entrepreneurs and fund long-term impact

    Whether you’re a leader, founder, or someone rebuilding from adversity, David’s story gives you the blueprint for building a meaningful, resilient, and purpose-driven life.
