Episode 42: Persistence Pays Off w/Leo Deason

In this episode of First Gen Wealth, host Jim Woodworth from Success Group Mortgage sits down with Leo Deason, a local investor, firefighter, and commercial real estate broker at Woodworth Commercial. Leo brings a unique perspective on community investment, combining his experience as both a first responder and a commercial real estate expert. Together, they discuss the transformative impact of the Armory Owosso and how recent developments like Pita-Way and Sakura are enriching the local economy. These new eateries, brought to Owosso by Woodworth Commercial, are doing more than just providing food—they’re creating in-town experiences that encourage local spending and foster community growth. Tune in to hear how investing in local businesses and real estate can help strengthen the economy and provide valuable resources for the community, all while keeping economic activity close to home.
