How do you sell when the stakes are nine figures—and the best deals are never publicly listed? On this episode of Talking with Natasha, Natasha sits down with Peter Zaitzeff to break down the art of the pitch—and what truly separates elite closers from everyone else. With $4.8 BILLION in career sales and some of New York City’s most iconic deals to his name, Peter explains how influence works at the highest level—where precision, restraint, and timing matter more than hype. You may know him as the “Sexy Rabbit” from Netflix’s Owning Manhattan, but behind the on-screen charisma is a strategist who has mastered persuasion when the stakes are massive and the margin for error is zero. We also get into the state of NYC real estate post-Zohran Mamdani—how market psychology is shifting, what buyers are really reacting to, and how great salespeople adapt their pitch when the ground moves. This conversation goes beyond real estate. It’s about how to sell anything. Peter also opens up about purpose beyond profit—sharing how fatherhood inspired him to co-found The Kabuki Syndrome Foundation, helping raise over $5 million for groundbreaking medical research.

FDNY First female chief on Zohran Mamdani
Natasha sits down with former FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, the first woman to lead the NYC Fire Department in its 150-year history. Laura is opening up about this pivotal moment in New York City: the upcoming transition of power and her perspective on Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s new administration. With two decades of political and campaign experience, multiple mayoral transitions under her belt, and years running one of the largest operational agencies in the country, she breaks down how power really shifts in this city and who actually gets to shape policy. We also dive into her next chapter from mentoring rising leaders in the prestigious 92nd Street Y Women in Power program, to serving as an Urban Fellow and teaching leadership at NYU.
