Jonathan Greene, Founder and CEO
About Me
The path to where I am today has been a long and winding road, but I would never trade it for a different route. My diverse background and ability to pivot make me an effective coach. Life is not a straight line, and our coaching won’t be either. Everything we do together is subject to change, and I will be there for you to get past the roadblocks and reach your goals.
My areas of expertise are broad and varied. Reviewing my career path will show that I am not averse to change; I revel in it. And isn’t that why you are here? Because you want to change your life in some way. I hear you. I feel like that all the time. You are not alone.
Below is an abbreviated list of my areas of expertise. However, just because you don’t see one that describes what you are going through now doesn’t mean I can’t help. Before moving forward, we will assess each other in the introductory session to see if it fits both ways well.

About the Company Name
Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing is the coaching arm of the podcast hosted by Jonathan Greene. It embodies the mindful approach to real estate investing and principles of lifestyle architecture.
The original company name, Don’t Rush Life, originated with my father, Steven Greene. He passed away in 2004, but for 33 years before that, he ingrained this quote in me, “Don’t rush life.”
I didn’t listen to him for many years, but the older I got, the more I understood what he was trying to tell me. I used to want life to move faster so I could get to the next step, but when I was doing that, I wasn’t living in and appreciating the present. I am now. And you can, too.
