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.

FOX Business journalist Gerri Willis joins Natasha to reveal the hidden story behind her new book, Lincoln’s Lady Spymaster.
During the isolation of the pandemic, Willis watched anxiety rise among young women in her newsroom — and went searching for a story of courage under pressure. She found it in Elizabeth Van Lew — a wealthy Southern belle, abolitionist, and secret Union spymaster operating from the heart of Confederate Richmond.
In her new book Lincoln’s Lady Spymaster, Willis reveals how Van Lew used her status as a Church Hill socialite to build one of the most effective espionage networks of the Civil War — passing intelligence directly to Abraham Lincoln so powerful it's said to have been a contributing factor in winning the brutal war.
We also talk about Gerri’s own journey from television journalism to historical storytelling, why the stories of women like Van Lew go untold, and how power, perception, and patriotism collide in moments that change a nation.
