Ep. 80 - Shiny Happy People, Real Business Moves

Dillon King steps out from behind the scenes to reveal himself as far more than just "Amy Duggar's husband" on this fascinating episode of the B-Team Podcast. Sipping Blanton's bourbon with us, Dillon unveils his impressive portfolio of businesses that few people know about.As founder of Kingston Investment Group, Dillon has quietly amassed a collection of commercial properties that have tripled in value since 2019. His philosophy? "I'm not a big fan of just parking my money in a bank and letting them loan it out and make all the money." This buy-and-hold strategy forms the backbone of his and Amy's retirement plan, providing tangible assets they can touch and feel regardless of market fluctuations.Dillon also shares insights into Property Improvements, the construction company started by his father, where he now applies his architecture background to projects ranging from boutique renovations to complete new builds. With disarming honesty, he recounts lessons learned from his father about quality construction and building things right the first time—even if it means adding that extra two-by-four that seemed unnecessary to his younger self.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dillon discusses life married to a reality TV personality and reveals details about Amy's forthcoming memoir, Holy Disruptor, scheduled for October release. He offers a glimpse into the emotional journey of writing a book that covers everything from Amy's childhood with an abusive father to her experiences with the Duggar family and establishing healthy boundaries.Most exciting is Dillon's revelation about his newest venture—The Parlor Club, an exclusive 8,000-square-foot, members-only establishment planned for the Rogers/Pinnacle area. This sophisticated space will cater to Northwest Arkansas's growing need for upscale social venues where business leaders can relax without constant interruptions.Whether you're curious about investment strategies, Northwest Arkansas's explosive growth, or the realities of life adjacent to reality TV fame, Dillon's straightforward insights and entrepreneurial vision make this episode essential listening.
