EPISODE SUMMARY:

What if you could construct the life of your dreams in real estate? What if you could transition smoothly into small business ownership, taking bold steps out of your 9-to-5 job?

Chandler’s journey from finance to real estate professional to CEO of his own business is an electrifying testament to the power of networking, taking risks, and seizing unexpected opportunities. His story is a real-life embodiment of what it truly means to build a satisfying life beyond just financial success.

Navigating the world of entrepreneurship is no small feat. Chandler shares the intricacies of managing and growing a business, including the emotional toll of letting team members go, and the challenges of running a project-based business. He also reveals his future plans, which include purchasing another business and building an online community for aspiring entrepreneurs.
