“Adam’s story is the quintessential American hero story— from protecting and serving the public, to protecting and serving a publicly traded company. Some will call it ‘luck’ but those of us who know, know that Adam got where he is today by putting in the work no one else was willing to put in. I’m honored to call him a friend.”

Ryan Stewman

“When the CEO of the largest real estate brand in the world writes a book titled, Start With A Win, you might assume it’s a guide to the secrets of closing more deals. You’d be wrong. It’s about redefining and reordering your own life and living by a mantra that success seldom comes without failure. Contos flips the script and we learn that success doesn’t bring happiness, but rather happiness breeds success. To get there, as Wayne Dyer might say, ‘Don’t die with your music still in you,’—a lesson Contos celebrates about his own life in this insightful book that deserves a wide audience.”

“With the publishing of Start With a Win, Adam Contos delivers the ultimate guide on how to make every day count. Singer Joan Baez says, ‘Action is the antidote to despair.’ Adam’s thesis centers around making that action count with a belief in yourself and a focus on attitude, perspective, and mindset.”
