Carson's Corner: Entrepreneurship & Investing
Carson's Corner is the podcast for commercial real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and operators who think in decades, not quarters. Host Carson Jones — investor, author of The Red Flag Playbook, and licensed commercial real estate advisor and business broker — interviews founders, family offices, and industry operators to unpack the deals, strategies, and hard lessons behind real wealth creation. Carson's Corner is built for investors, entrepreneurs, and operators who are serious about long-term wealth creation — not get-rich-quick schemes. The world’s wealthiest investors approach investing very differently than most people. Instead of chasing short-term returns, they focus on preserving wealth, reputation, and legacy across generations. Their decisions are often driven as much by relationships and trusted networks as by financial models, and many of their best opportunities come through private deals, family offices, and invitation-only circles, not public markets. Each episode brings a commercial real estate lens to capital deployment, business partnerships, and alternative investments. Topics covered: commercial real estate investing · industrial real estate · syndications · passive investing · oil & gas · alternative assets · business acquisitions · capital partnerships · entrepreneurship · wealth building · family office strategies · market risk · reshoring trends For property or business evaluations you can reach Carson Jones at 615-212-5524 - Carson@passive.investments eXp Commercial - Passive Investments https://passive.investments/
