    Mar 20 2026

    In this episode of The Victory Show, Travis Cody sits down with Long Doan, founder of Realty Group, LPT’s largest Minnesota team, to unpack the real playbook behind scaling a business, leading people, and building lasting success.

    Long’s story is extraordinary. He fled Vietnam on a fishing boat at age 13, survived a refugee camp, and went on to build one of the most respected real estate organizations in Minnesota. After transitioning from the mortgage industry into real estate during the 2007–2009 market shift, he positioned himself ahead of the crash, built the right systems, and closed over 1,000 transactions in his first four years.

    But this conversation goes far beyond real estate.

    Long shares the mindset shifts, leadership lessons, and business frameworks that helped him grow—from learning how to automate, delegate, and eliminate, to identifying why most entrepreneurs stay stuck doing everything themselves.
