He opens up about building a commercial real estate fund with his father, why he believes small balance investors deserve access to generational wealth opportunities, and how embracing uncertainty became the most freeing decision of his life.This episode isn’t just about entrepreneurship — it’s about listening to the internal whisper that says you were made for more.
