S7|G26 Overlooked Assets, Unstoppable Returns with Leo Young

from That Will Nevr Work Podcast · host Maurice D. Chism, Sr. | Entrepreneur & Business Strategist

  What if the setback you're running from is actually the clearest signal your purpose has ever sent you?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Leo Young — Managing Partner of Cornell Communities, former Tesla #1 regional salesperson, and one of the most compelling transformation stories in real estate today. With nearly a decade of experience, over $50 million in total transaction volume, and a career arc that took him from elite corporate performer to private equity to founding his own investment firm, Leo's journey is a masterclass in what happens when you trade external success for internal alignment. Leo didn't just pivot careers. He fundamentally rewrote his relationship with money, leadership, and purpose — and built a company whose mission is to create both affordable housing solutions and strong passive returns for investors, proving that doing good and doing well aren't opposites.  In this conversation, you'll hear:The real story behind leaving Tesla's top sales role to bet on himselfWhat a $4.5B private equity acquisition team teaches you about wealth you can't learn anywhere elseWhy mobile home parks are one of the most overlooked, recession-resilient assets in America — and a metaphor for every undervalued idea you're sitting onHow to raise capital by leading with trust, character, and radical transparencyThe specific clarity that only comes from walking through — not around — your hardest season  This one is for every entrepreneur who is in the middle of their setback, wondering if they took a wrong turn — and needs to hear from someone who went through the fire and found their purpose on the other side.  🌐 Website: https://cornellcommunities.com 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leo-young/  Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs it today.🚀 Stop Doubting.
